The fie- z?
' — 1 ♦ -
Modern Romance.
“Tho Prisoner of Zenda” and “A Gen
tleman of France,” to mention two happy
and pleasing examples of this type of
novel, are not modern in the sense that
they express any deep feeling or any vita)
characteristic of today. They are not in
stinct with the spirit of the times. One
might say that these stories represent the
novel in its theatrical mood. It is the
novel masquerading. Just as a respectable
bookkeeper likes to go into private theat
ricals, wear a wig with curls, a slouch
hat ■with ostrich feathers, a sword and
ruffles and play a part to tear a cat in, so
does the novel like to do the same. The
day after the performance the whole arti
ficial equipment drops away and disap
pears. The bookkeeper becomes a book
keeper once more and a natural man. The
hour before the footlights has done him
no harm. True, ho forgot his lines at one
place, but what is a prompter for if not to
act in such an emergency? But now that
it is over the affair may be pronounced a
success—particularly in the light of the
gratifying statement that a clear profit
has been realized toward paying for the
new organ.
This is not unfair comparison of the
part played by these books in modern fic
tion. The public likes them, buys thorn,
reads them, and there is no reason why
the public should not. In proportion to
tho demand for color, action, posturing
and excessive gesticulation, these v books
have a financial success. In proportion to
tho conscientiousness of. the artist who
creates them they have a literary vitality.
But they bear to tho actual modern novel
a relation not unlike that which “The
Castle of Otranto” bears to “Tom Jones”
—making allowance, of course, for the
chronological discrepancy.
The Story of a Kiss.
Here is an old Circassian story of a kiss:
A man was walking along one road and
a woman along another. The roads final
ly united into one, and reaching the front
of junction at tho same tune they walked
cn together. Tho man was carrying a
largo iron kettle on his back. In one hand
he held tho legs of a live chicken; in the
other a cane, and ho was leading a goat.
They neared a dark ravine. Said the
woman: “I am afraid to go through that
ravine with you. It is a lonely place and
you might overpower me and kiss me by
force.” jsaid the man: “How can I pos
sibly overpower you and<kiss\ou by force
when I have this groan iron my
back, a cane in one hand, a livt/ehickon
in the other tend am leading this goat? I
might as well be tied hand and foot”
“Yes,” replied the woman, “but if you
should stick your cane in tho ground and
tie your goat to it and turn the kettle bot
tomside up and the chicken under it, then
you might wickedly kiss me in spite of
my resistance. ” “Success to thy ingenu
ity, O woman,” said the rejoicing man to
himself. "I should never have thought
of this or similar expedient.” And when
they came to tho raviffb he stuck his cane
into tho ground and tied the goat to it,
gave the chicken to tho woman, saying,
“Hold it while I cut some grass for tho
goat.” And then —so runs the legend—
lowering the kettle from his shoulder ha
put the fowl under it and Wickedly kissed
the woman, as she was afraid he would.
An Intimation of Coleridge.
“A thousand thanks to you, my dear
friend [A übrey de Vere writes to Sara Cole
ridge] for that lock of your father’s hair.
I could hardly have valued more a tress
from a saint’s head than I value one which
may once have touched ‘that godlike fore
head, ’ seen so often in my youthful fan
cies, but never, alas, in the light of day.
I shall never again feel the veneration for
any other man which my sister and I used
to feci for your father when we read him
together and thought on laying down the
book that we could gather amaranths from
every meadow. I am not now quite so
much a believer in heroes as once, ere that.
wicked and unfeeling thing experience
had bullied me into believing that every
man has his infirmities. This new phi
losophy does not, however, wholly tyran
nize over my old habits. There remains
one unsubverted throne, occupied by an
aged man with dreamy eyes and lips once
brightened by Parnassian springs, and
still breathing Elysian sirs.”—“Recollec
tions of Aubrey de Vere. ”
