Arnold Bennett preceded them but shortly. And not #0 long ago Joseph Conrad, W. H, Hudson, Thomas Hardy and Henry James departed. There is nothing left to do but to "gift and appraise their achjeve ment." i 'Who have taken their places? asks The Evening Standard (London). And it goes on to name Somerset Maugham, J. B. Priestley, Rose Ma- caulay, Aldous Huxley, A. J. Cronin, Louis" Golding, Clemence Dane, and Charles Morgan. It is notable that D, H. Lawrence is unmentioned either living or dead. Some living writers may think their omission an error; but the above is what The Evening Standard lists as the vanguard, and it turns to give some personal glimpses. Maugham is evidently the doyen of the group, for he was born in Paris in 1874: "He is cosmopolitan: his upbring- ing made him so. Born in Paris; at school in England; thence to the Uni versity of Heidelberg, He came back to London and began to walk an East End hospital. a "Out of his East End experiences came his first novel, 'Liza of Lam- beth He has declared that there is little imagination in that book; that all he did was to put on paper the things that were under his eyes. "It decided him, anyway, to aban- don medicine for letters. The journey was not easy; he kenw hard times; 'Mrs, Craddock,' one of lis early nov- els, was refused by eighteen publish- ors. \ "He has the jaw of a man who sticks to what he He became a resounding success, financially and, artistically. He once had four plays running simultaneously fn London theatres. You are ag likely to hear Singa-, pore as in London, Paris, or Berlin." J. B. Priestley, son of a schoolmas- ter, born in 1894, was eo recently among us, that hig ability to irritate from outspokenness must be still re- membered, We read here: "The outbreak of the war found him twenty years of age. He at once enlisted and served till 1919 with the Duke of Wellington's and Devon Re- giments.- When demobilized, he went to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and then came to see Whether the streets of London, and Fleet Street im particu: lar, were really paved With gold.

Es "In 1929 he collaborated with Hugh Walpole in a disappointing novel called, 'Farthing Hall' and in that same year came 'The Good Compan- fons, which made his mame Letter known than- hat of any other writer] of his generation, : "The anonymous author of 'The o| were many books which testfiled to the| hig artistry.

" "The latest novel, 'They Were De- feated,' strikes with success a deeper, unexpected note, "Miss Macaulay once sald: "My mother liked reading detective stor- jes and wearing her oldest clothes, She disliked sewing, mustard, cats, and very recently born individuals. My father liked walking and disliked afternoon callers, likes and dislikes." Aldous Huxley, though not the youngest, seems to rank as the en- fant terrible of the group. He was "He was educated at Eton and Bal- lo), is short-sighted, six feet five inches im height, and has said, 'I do not write for my readers.' : "His fifst published work wag 'The Burning eel' a volume of poems that saw the light during the war.

He is as squeamish as & maiden vegetarian n° a slaughter. house, "Since D, H. Lawrence's death, Al- dous Huxley is probably the most 'banned' of authors, The Alexandria Book Club burned 'Antic Hay'; 'Brave New World," which Bishop Hensley Henson declared. to be 'repulsive' was banned by the 'Australian cus- toms, and, more intelligently, by the Irish Free State. ve "His work ls intensely idiosyncrat- ie, and an intelligent man must read it whether ho likes it or not."

"The Fountain" has made Charles Morgan well known to American read: ers, He wag born in 1894, the same year as Huxley and Priestley. "Morgan was educated for the Roy- al Navy. He served in the Atlantic and on the China station between 1911 and 1913, when he resigned. He joined the Navy again in 1914 and served throughout the war. He is now a dramatic critic, ,"Charles Morgan's reputation as a novelist was very quickly made. It rests on two books: 'Portrait in a Mirror, which gained him the Fe- mina-Vie Heureuse Prize in 1930, and "rhe Fountain,' published last year. Those who care may see in the two titles something of the essence of Morgan's work: something at once crystalline and liquid, pure of dross, and a little lacking in the lively ani- malculae that infest bevérages less immalculate, "But anyone concerned for letters is glad to know that 'The Fountain' was a great success in this country and America." ed ema REAL MEN The real men dare and the real men do. They dream great dreams which they make come true; They bridge the rivers and link the plains, And gird the land with their railway trains, They make the desert break forth in bloom, And send the cataract through the flume.

The sanctuary set up on the North Bull Island, Dollymount, in 1931, was the first on Irish soil. In its report for 1932, the society says with regard to this haven of refuge, "The birds themselves have, of course, lost no time in discovering a fact so' im- portant to their well-being, and by their remarkable tameness now lend a great charm to the .ancivary, well repaying the Dubiin public for the kindness it has shown them." Two great perils against which the birds of Ireland have to be guarded are the raids of "unscrupulous wholecale collectors" and the "un: ceasing efforts" to supply English dealers with the song birds which British law forbids them to capture in their own country. The chief sufferers are goldfinches, The rescue of several hundreds of these birds When about to be sent out of the country is described In the society's last report. 'While legislation in the Irish Free State perhaps lags, Northern Ireland has what is believed to be the most drastic bird protection measure hitherto adopted in any land. The bill was passed unanimously in 1931. Under it, nearly all non-game birds are protected throughout the year and the taking of their eggs is also forbidden In regard to the prevention of cruelty tp animals, Dublin reports steady and satisfactory progress, Its hardest fight at present is against the export of live horses to Belgium ang France, Recently a tax of about 2d. (4 cents) a pound has been im. posed on imported meat by both these countries. Consequently there has been a tendevcy for the export of live animals to increase. Under the auspices of the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ' inspectors now watch the loading of each consignment, The number of horses shipped, and their destination, is reported to the Interpaticnal League against the Ex. port of Horses for Butchery, whose headquarters is in London. This en- ables the boats to be met on their arrival, and constitutes some check on what happens to the animals after. ward, The Dublin society now donkey ehow each year. The prizes are awarded not merely pn the general appearance of the animals on the day of the show but also on the way they have been looked after during the three months before the "day" itself. Most of the donkeys are bought by street hawkers from the "tinkers" or gypsies at the Smithfield Market. Expert advice is now provided free by the society to help buyers cir cumvent the shary practice which bas been too common in the past, As in previous years, the Dublin 8. P. C. A. has a stand at this year's spring 'show. An account is given in last year's report of how those in charge of the stand suffered, gladly an invasion of hordes of children. An encouraging number of the children slipped pennies into the collecting box. "One very small per son," the report eays, "with whom pennies were probably scarce, came twice to the box, slipped the penny half in, and, her heart failing her, took it out again. But her wish to 'help the animals' was stronger than the desire to keep the penny and the thirg visit saw the gift made." Including the Dublin soclety, there are mow 13 S, P. C. A's in Ireland. Among their activities are dogs' and of has a { markets, street 'cats' homes, inspection of the cattle patrols, investiga. tion of complaints of eruelty, free advice to poor people about looking after their animals and buying fresh ones, supplying and promoting the PATENTS.
