a study of the influence of color or
human life. and the other a move
called The Wall and the Arrow,
which he had been writing since
1888.
All told Mr.. Beer published only
seven books. but the three men
toned above were credited with
having profound influence II
shaping the contemporary approach
to biography and history.
THE Mauve Decade" sold only
$4,000 copies and that is almost twice
as many as any of his other books
but his readers included a high per.
centage of writer's.
Mr.. Beer never married and unit
the last few years lived with hi!
mother. Mrs. Martha Ann Alic,
Baldwin Beer, and his sister, Mis-
Alice Baldwin Beer, at the family
home in Yonkers. His father diet

Herald-Tribune, it used to be sale
of Mr.. Beer that he liked most tt
