Behind you the pendulum of the grand- father clock swings to and fro with a majestic gesture. ticking of the clock blends with the crackle of the log fire and the falling ashes. Everything around you persuades a drowsy, browsy, bookish night.
You hunt through the landlord's bookcase filled with musty volumes odd numbers of "All the Year Round;" "A Ride to Khiva," by Fred Burnaby; "Kater- felto; A Story of Exmoor," by Whyte-Melville and "Lavengro, An Autobiography," by George Borrow, Esq.-and you suddenly realize how good it is to get away from the modern high-brow and the jazz note in literature for a few hours.
A Rempart of Books One thing leads to another. Books of the antimacassar age are consulted and savoured; first one of Ouida's novels; "Puck" and then her charming "Dog of Flanders.." "London Society: Christmas Num- ber," 1868, and a bound volume of "Belgravia."

agree with Arnold Bennett when he says that many people use their literary knowledge as a cloak to cover sins of narrowness, prejudice, and affection. Mr. Bennett writes: "Some of the most offensive persons I have ever known were 'great readers' persons who never went to bed without reading a scene from Shakespeare, who made an appre- ciation of 'Marius the Epicurean' a test of social decency, who scorned all modern fiction and poetry with reference to the wholesome sarity of Scott, who were emphatically 'up in dates, and whose minds, to be brief, were a coagulated mass of ponderous pretences."
PURE ROMANCE
NEW BOOK BY CECIL ROBERTS
"Pamela's Spring Song" is the title of Cecil Roberts's new novel, which Messrs. Hodder and Stough- ton are publishing.
After his excursion in satire, 'Indiana June, which has been one of the successes of the Spring season, Mr. Roberts returns to pure romance in his forthcoming novel.
It arises out of a motoring accid- ent in the Tyrol when the author discovered an old castle which had been converted by an impoverished Austrian countess into an hotel. The singular collection of guests provided a comedy of which Mr. Roberts took full advantage. His heroine is a young lady who had twenty pounds left in the world and decided to live like a duchess, en- ticed to the Tyrol by a railway poster.
"She was a London typist, and at the end of a month she was a coun- tess but I shall get no one to be- lieve my fiction is based on facts," says Mr. Cecil Roberts.

But I digress: holiday read ing the subject of this article.
