1 conclude that it is only if char
acters make rich and varied contact
with life in action that they acquire
interest as characters. Now the
characters of the lady novelists aim
continuously at acknowledge, and
the object of their novels insofar as
they may be said to have an object
is to force the reader by contrast
or sympathy to discover himself.
But the recipe for being an interest
ing person is precisely the not being
interested in oneself as a person.
Self-interest and elf-absorption not
only make people unhappy; they
make them dull. The self, like any
other organism, must be crossed
with things other than itself before
it can flourish and can become fruit
full; it must be fortified by external
interests; and narrowed by diversity
of experience.
Not only do the characters of the
lady novelist not act, they also do
not think. They think, no doubt, in
a fashion but they do not think
about the universe. Now most good
and memorable works of art are the
vehicles of an underlying philosophy.
Something is asserted about the
cosmos, not directly, but by implica-
ton through the actions of the char
acters.
Examples could be multiplied in
definitely. While the great writer,
conscious of a world order is inspired
by an irresistible urge to comment,
to denounce, to convert, or to con-
vict of sin, the lady ~novelists r
moved by a curiosity to avour and
appraise Individual relationships as
a woman handles stuffs on a much
Uttered counter. You may be i'm
pressed by the experiences shown in
the appraisal; but the process fin
ished, there is no effect. Now l am
unable to rid my mind of the con-
viction that a work of art should
have an effect. 1t should leave us
different from what we were when
we came to it. The good book
is one that excites thought, stimu-
lates the sense of duty, helps to an
understanding of ones fellow crea-
lures, throws light upon the prob
lem of conduct or the nature of the
universe; it is in this sense tina. the
good book has its effect. But when
characters are occupied in recording
and Analysing their reactions to one
another, then there is no effect and
the reader would be better employed
in playing a ball game.-C. E. M.
Joad, in The New Statesman, August
10, 1889.

No Longer Difficult

but he thinks some practical hv-
glenlc advice would improve him.
SO In Difference to his request, I
will consult with the authorities on
geriatrics and report in the articles
this week what their wisdom is.
% Touching Lightly 's'
The picture of old age is not an
entrancing one, as am beginning to
realize personally only too well, and
l shall touch it up very lightly.
One distinction should be pointed
out. l am not now referring to mid
die age. The middle-aged are wor-
ried about their high blood pressure,
and their teeth, and their angina,
and their hearts, and their hearing.
and their varicose veins, and their
golf games, and the lack of love in
their lives.
Old age has got all over that.
After the grand climacteric, which
occurs in men as well as women.
their arteries have calmed down.
they are not much liable to cardiac
or cerebral accidents. Thew are
used to glasses, and dental plates.
and are rather glad they don't hear
as much as they once did. They are
used to BARRIERS shipping bristles
out OF their ears, and clucking SYM
pathetically as they do so. They do
not expect to play eighteen holes of
golf every day, and "Romeo and Ju-
llet" stories don't appeal to them as
being nearly as sad as a furnace
breakdown or something wrong
with the new icebox.
Other Worries y,
What they are worried about is
sleeping well, and itchy skin, and
their bowels, and why prostates
swell instead of shrinking like
everything else, and coughing, and
why they can't remember what hap
pened yesterday, and painful lumps
in their fingers, and rough places ON
the skin.
I know nobody likes to admit he
is aged, but those are the symp-
toms and that is what I want to
write about this week.

THE OTHER day a gentleman
came up to me at my club and said:
Tive got pick on you doctors.

about the treatment Of old people I?
You just give us up, when we get
TO certain age. You don't tell us
what we ought to do, or how we
ought to live, or what we ought to
eat-and there is no place for us to
go to find out-you just give us up"
"Well, now, wait a minute" I
said. "Let's get the record straight.
We don't give you up. In the first
place, there is a speciality in medi-
cine, known as GeriGtrics. It is the
study Of old age, just as Pedictrics
