From a Staff Corrctponttnt
BtlTN MAWn, Pa., Oct. 1. The chilly
rain, which ushered In the month of Oc
tober, persuaded the nryn Mawr Hone
Khow Committee that It would be neces
sary to postpone today's program. Tho
hound show was unaffected by tho
weather, however, and the exhibition of
animal will bo concluded with today
awards.
Because many valuable horses are en
tered In the show It was decided that It
wis unwise to risk the chance of any of
them contracting colds on account of the
.thrr. Tho program, for the horses set
for today will bo followed tomorrow. This-
aaitaies mo norao mum conunuina
another day, and tomorrow's schedule
; will be run oft Monday. Although this
'will Involve extra expense In maintaining
! the animals at Dryn Mawr, it was deemed
.. the wise oourso to pursue.
rf Tho exhibition of half-bred hounds at
tracted nn atusnaance, out mis was re
duced, of course, by the inclement
eondltlons! Tho chief competition was
' that' for tho prlte offered by Mis ElUa
.'b'eth It. Binnlckson for tho best pair of
H.alf-brcd hounds.
' tmidKs the setback received after four
iVeays of excellent weather, tho show has
much for wnicn 10 oe umniui. in pi
years the Horse Show schedulo at Dryn
Mawr has called foe rain most of the
flma.
i Comment on tho splendid appearance of
15 ih s-rounds and the skilful handling of
the show machinery, which has been
heard during: the week, reflects favorably
the work of the Executive Committee.
Much of the credit In this respect is
liven to It. Fenn Smith.

PROPHETIC INTERVIEW
WITH LORD ROBERTS
Dcnd Soldier Onco Outlined
England's Present Defenses
" to Hull Caino
Before Lord Itoberts died and In those
days when he was crying; vainly the
"German peril," ho told Hall Calne. the
writer, how much he feared a Teuton In
vasion, nnd outlined the very methods ot
protection which have only lately been
put In form. The Interview Is recorded
In Hall Calne's new book of contemporary
European history. "The Drama of 365
Days" (Llpplncott. Philadelphia):
"I was then on my way home from
Egypt, where I had spent some days at
Meno, while Ivord Roberts was staying
there. On two successive morn
InRs I sitf with him discussing
the 'German danger.' 'Do you ronlly at
tach Importance to this scare, of a Ger
man Invasion?' I asked. 'I'm afraid I
do,1 said Lord Itoberts. 'You think an
enemy army could be landed on our
shores?' 'As things are now, yes, I
think It could.' 'Do you think you could
land an army on tl)e east coast of Eng
land and mnrch on to London,' 'Yes, I
do.' 'In a thick fog, of course? 'With
out a. fog,' Bald Lord Roberts. After that
he described In detail the measures we
ought to take to mako such an attack
Impossible, nnd I hasten to add that, so
far as I can see nnd know, tho precau
tionary measures he recommended have
all, been taken since the outbreak of the
war."
"F. P. A.," of the New York Tribune,'
has got through poking holes In the
proofreading of tho Bookman and U
after the publishers' press agents. Hjtre
is what he said about them the other
day:
Ernest Poole's "The Harbor" is an
other novel that frequently appears,
says the sheaf of press notes from
the Macmtllan Company, which em
ploys no proofreaders, while In the
nonflction group Edgar Lee Master's
(sic) "Spoon River Anthology" stands
high.
Everybody enjoys, whether they
realize It or not, says a Century Com
pany -advertisement, what technique
means. Even if- one gets their tech
nique a bit mixed.
But neither "P. P. A." nor the Tribune
is Infallible or pretends to be.
Spanking of literary press agents, there
are many who tell the truth, and tell it
not only accurately but brilliantly, far
more. In fact, than the theatres can
boast. One of these Is Sinclair Lewis, of
the George H. Doran Company. Writing
of Buck Farvin and the movies, he says:
"In ordinary cases the 'filming' of a
novel is of no literary importance, but
'Buck Parvln' is the, first novel written
for that enormous audience the movie
fans, the first story in which a skilled
craftsman satisfies the curiosity of the
fans.about the romantic mystery of film
making. Hence this story about movies
and, in turn, the movies made from the
book compose what Is perhaps the first
effort to wed tho old art of novels and
tho new art of movies.''
There Is a reason for Mr. Sinclair's
perfection na a press agent. He Is also
a novelist of some distinction. Ills new
est book Is "The Trail of the Hawk," a
Harper's publication.

AS CARLYLE MIGHT HAVE LOOKED
TO A "JOURNALIST OF TODAY
One of the Fascinating Figures Painted in "Contempo
rary Portraits" by Frank Harris, Reporter,
Critic and Philosopher
"Literary men" principally In tho col
leges that nre built to keep them be
moan "debasing Journalism." Thoy know
nothing of the leaven of reality that Jour
nalism has given literature through the
men It has trained. They know nothing
of tho very real wlali of a good many
ordinary newspaper-reading men that
some good Interviewer had been lurking
In tho historic background to record the
personality of some of our great ones
as .they record the men of today. And so
the "literary men" aren't likely to be tho
least Interested in Frahk Harrjs' "Con
temporary Fortralts." If they only were
thoy might find the miracle of modern
Journalism back In those far-off days
when Carlylo walked tho Cheltea em
bankment and Browning went politely to
teas. And they might also find an Inter
pretation ot literature England and a
number of other Important matters.
"Contemporary Fortralts" (Mitchell
Kennerley, New York) Is remarkably
good Journalism. With vigorous, picto
rial stroke, Mr. Harris draws each not
able. There Is Carlylo, looking "the
prophet: his clothes loose and careless
for comfort not show; the shaggy, un
kempt gray thatch ot hair; the long
head, the bony, almost fieahless face of
one who has fasted and suffered: the
tyrannous, overhanging cliff foreheadtha
firm, heavy mouth and outthrust, chal
lenging chin the face ot a fighter," and
yet, because of the eyes, "a strong, sad
face, the saddest I ever studied
tearless misery."
Mr. Harris gives us mare than the
figure, moro than the words of this
great Englishman. Ho focuses the sad
despair of his unhappy married life In
a kcena of rare Intimacy. When they
were walking through Hydo Park In
the rain one day, that Hyde Park
where Mrs. Carlylo died In her car
riage while her husband was In Edin
burgh, "suddenly, to my utter astonish
ment, Carlyle stopped, and taking oft
hit soft hat, stood there in the rain with
his gray head bowed. For a moment I
waailost In wonder: then I remembered
his picture of old Dr. Johnson standing
bareheaded before his father's shop In
Litchfield, halt In piety, half In remorse.
I guess that Carlyle was thinking ot his
wife. When ho put on his hat
How do you
or did you

love letters?
Eleanor, a wealthy and busy
young lady, induced her sec
retary to compose, write,
sign and mail love letters to
the man to whom she was
engaged. Tho secretary
wrote good letters, argued
Eleanor. And the secretary
did; with surprising results,
Well worth reading is the

situation. It fa "The Woo

nnd walked on, the tears were running

Alt these portraits are not so fine, so
noblo. For Harris had lesser men to
deal with and ho dealt with them truth
fully. Indeed, he dealt so truthfuly, he
grubbed so nt their very minds, that
often the portrait ho gives ot himself
flattering llenan, for Instance, hiding his
contempt for Maeterlinck's platitudinous
opinions on literature or his ludicrous pre
tentions In boxing is far from pleasing.
But at any rato.he lets us seo the truth
oven of his reporting methods.
Harris sees deep and writes brilliantly.
He gives us the tragedies of de Maupas
sant. Verlalne. Davidson, Mlddlcton and
Wilde with singular clarity and power.
He makes us see that final, cplo perver
sity ot Wlldo, his refusal to avoid trial,
verdict and ruin, his assurance that his
life wnn to be as artistic In Its traglo
completeness ns his "Salome."

Family Likeness of Kathleen
Norris' and Edward Shel
don's Hcroino Deeper
Than Common Namo
OTHER BOOKS OF AUTUMN
Kathleen Norris, the author lady, Is
likely to b barred from tho shelves of
the rebuilt Ban Francisco Public Library.
Very early in her new novel, "The Story
ot Julia Page" (Doubleday, Tage A Co.,
Garden City, N. Y.), she speaks of the
earthquake. Every one west of Alameda
knows that It was a Ore.
Bob writers on tho San Francisco press
never used Julia as the themo for a first
page story-before the fire. Mrs. Norris
haa mada a full length novel of her ca
reerafter the nre. The episodes of
Julia's career furnish text enough for
sensational writing. She sinned griev
ously; sho paid ns heavily In remorse, In
embittered years. In a break In her great
love. In an Interruption to her hungry
aspiration for tho better things of life.
Renunciation and secret tears tilt life's
end wcro her portion.
vaugnier or the slums, she Tina to fight
both
ncreauy ana environment In her
struggle upward from anrrtlrt .urm,,,i
lngs and tawdry Ideals. She surmounted
all obstacles by sheer determination. Her
shining soul was not essentially sullied
by her sin, the light of her aspiration
was not dimmed. Out of the strugglo
she ".merged better, purer, nobler, with
a calm content, a livable phllosop'ny
which mollified tho Irk ot the Inner sad
ness that was a part of her eventual
happiness. As Mary Tago uplifted her
self through the foreplcco and threo acts
of Edward Sheldon's notable play, "The
High Hoad," so was Julia Page's prog
ress from the depths, physical nnd spirit
ual, to the heights. The family likeness
Is deeper than the name. Mrs. Norris
has written a big and beautiful novel,
rounded and supple.
One of the new books supplies a study
in literary metamorphosis. All the differ
ence that spans tho distance between
Amelle Itivcs that was and tho Princess
Troubettkoy that Is comes to a climax In
-Shadows of Flamo" (Frederick A. Stokes
Company, new Tork). It Is a book nt to
have been writ by a princess, wide trav
eled, experienced In tho great world's
ways, a bit cynic toward grand passions.
But sweeping emotions, the nalvo aban

Ufa of Its heroine with her morphine
manlao husband and her later Idyl In
Italy, nut It summons memory wrslths
of the sensation of yesterday.
Tretty soon Philadelphia will see a Try
entertaining and Ingenious melodrama,
called "On Trial." Its chief distinction
Is the fact that, like any good detective
tory, but unlike any other play ever
staged. It tells Its narrative backward.
Any one who wants to see how the stage
can bo bent to the literary form should
buy the novelised version which Mr.
Elmor L, IteUensteln has made of his
play for Dodd, Mead & Co., New Tork,
and compare It with the play which Is
coming to the Oar rick when It comes.
