In some parts of the world the telephone is still a decided novelty. Upon its introduction, not very long ago, in a certain town in Arabia, one of the Arab merchants was progres-- sive enough to have the new de-- vice installed in his place of busi-- ness, It so happened, however, that the first person to call him up was a Greek who spoke no Arabic, and, as the Arab did not 'understand the Greek language, the ensuinog con-- versation was practically . a totai loss. Enraged at what he regarded as a piece of incompetence, if not downright fraud, on th> part of the telephone authorities, the shopkeep-- er promptly called on the manager of the local exchange.

"The moon shone clear now, a gong--like dise upon a carpet of space. The soft white balls of the clouds rolled up against it, and passed, drawing nothing from the moon but the sil-- very rays that turned them into spun metal and sent them spinning upon their windy journey. The vil-- lage of Rising Slepe lay silvered in the hollow, pointed roofs and chim-- neys tall as stairs rose into the cold, }hlddr." 'A terrible weight of desolation gettles down upon her. She lies awake that first night until "dawn came with quiet cruelty making vis-- ible the familiar things that were as elues to the men who had gone out of her life." And then as solace to her grief she plunges into the care of this dark serious young man. But always there is a secret struggle be-- tween his living presence and that of Harry who has lived so complete-- ly once that he can never die. ' and had lent, given back to you." But she finds that the silence brings her only pain, pain, which is almost more than she can bear. She does not realize how great is the struggle until he tells her one December day that he will be going away for the holidays. "She experi-- enced a marvellous sense of relief, like having something you valued Yet in the end she finds that there is no hope in fllusions, that one must face the terror and the loneliness,. that: only upon reality can life be founded. But the creative romanticist alone ean really escape the workaday world which is so abhorrent. And so mindful, only of his own pleas-- ure, Mr. Cabell has created for him-- self a world in which he can be happy. And in that world he has made no concessions to the useless world of facts. "Man is, they say, and so he must have also, If he is to stay sane, diversion, to prevent his using it." And so he plays as do to be a woman who has thought, who has felt, who has become." Bhe has built a book which is a thing of absolute unity, a structure which might be indeed a house. -- _ "BTRAWS AND PRA YER--BOOKS® \'~By James Branch Cabell ___ Robert M.
