|Belgrave-road, S.W. The hall was crowded with women. Miss Kaye Smith said:

The artist draws from the living model and not from the surgeon's chart. English fiction to-day is pre- occupied for too much with in- sides, and it is not a pleasant picture.

The full programme of the visit was published, and the citizens were called upon to hang out their Bags and give the distinguished guests a welcome they would remember,

When the time was drawing near for the arrival of the train, people lined the streets and crowded into The novelist is getting closer to the station, while on the platform life itself.

Along the roads hundreds of schoul-children waved flags, sight- seers applauded, and soldiers pre sented arms, while the Prince was kept busy acknowledging the signs of welcome.

Finally the hotel was reached, and here at last the Prince spoke. To the astonishment of all present he addressed his wife in perfect French, and the Princess replied in the sage language, with a very musical voice

There will always be the novel that is merely a story and nothing else. In effect Edgar Wallace is the linea descendant of Defoe Their type of story-telling is not in Auenced by current passions or technique, but goes its own way The best seller and its relations, too, have simple rules of their own. But it is characteristic of the times that we seriously. Most of us read novels, take our novels and few of us can say that we do not write them. We are in the posi tion at the moment that the novel may branch off into something new --not merely in one direction but in several.
