A Playful Intellectual.

In a room that somehow match- ed him G. K. Chesterton sat over- lapping a small chair. A grey woollen waistcoat was buttoned anugly over the vast convexity be

Large, generous, genial, with an untidy simplicity, he ent talking in- ceasmutly, with a little ripping chuckle that shook his huge body. That amazingly keen, incisive brain put rapier-like through tangled arguments and fuddled philosophy.. He sifted and sórted paradoxically. He stripped logic to the bare bones.

As he twisted and turned a aub- jeet, showing first one fact then another, ruthlessly he ripped away obscuring phraseology, and a little network of er-er-er-er laked each sentence. It was through this network otc had to plunge with a question.

G. K. Chesterton is not at all sure that he approves of the new literary censorship in England. At present it in a police censur- ship at least they take first action, and a magistrate gives the final decison.

"There are three grounds upon which books and plays are sored," he said. "If they contain words or phrases which, though they appear in the Bible and other teralate, are not conversationally accepted to-day, If they unduly stimulate sexual émotions, if they contain pernicious propaganda. As a rule the critics confuse all three, and usually take up their stand upon the wrong ground," he added,

He explained his point of view to me in many words. A heretle is a rebel like a man who betrays his country or his cause. You may take the word to him. But a Payan must be converted Grat. You cannot attack him with sword. He cannot betray a cause he has not known or espoused.

England Pagan. "England today," said Chesterton, "is frankly Pagan, and you might compare it with some | group in Central Asin. Take any street, or any row of houses in any street, and you will find in each people who have a totally life. If different conception of each one had a different God to worship in his back garden, one Apollo, one Buddha, one Venus, there could not be a more marked difference. It is difficult to know what many of them believe; I don't think they know themselves. Thut is why I say you must treat them as Pagans, and not as Heretics, an therefore the award--the sword of official censorship-may be dangerous."

He took out a large cigar and Angered it, but did not light it.

Women Novelists,

We spoke of the women novelists of to-day, and of the recently hann el books.

"I have not read Miss Rudeilffe- Hall's book, "The Well of Lone- Huess," said Mr. Chesterton. "It may be a perfectly good buul and innocent of obscenity. I don't know. But I would forgive her her book before I would forgive her her haircut and collar and tie."
