CASTORIA For Infanta and Children. 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. ” To Cure Constipation Forever.
