Mnrsliflold :: t: :: ! Oregoj THE MAX IIEIIIXD THE STYLE. THE rcront publication of a li brary odltlon of Wllllnm Dean Howell's works reminds us ngaln of tho largo contribution which this wrltor has made to American letters and his Importance as a critic and casychalr commentator. Glanc ing through tho volumes wo chnnco upon portlnent observations at every turn. The following regarding stylo Is of special Hlgnlllrnuce In Its breadth and university. For It may bo applied to almost any work as well as to that of writing. Says Mr. Howell: "KindncsB and gentleness are nev er out of fashion; It Is these in Goldsmith which mnko him our con temporary, and It Is worth tho whllo of any young person presently In tending deathless renown to take n littlo thought of them. They nre tho source of nil rellnemout, and I do not bollovo Unit the best art In Any kind exists without thorn. Tho style 1s tho man, and ho cannot hide .lilniBolf In any garb of words so that wo shall not know somehow whnt manner of man ho is within It; Ills npoocli bctrnyeth lilm, not only as to Ids country and his race, but more Hulitly yot as to his heart, and tho lores and hates of his heart." Tills criticism could bo mado of a multitude of men In as many differ cut sorts of effort. The thing we lo reveals us whether we will It or not, Tho man behind the stylo Is what makes It ronlly vital or effec tive. And through the things that lie says and tho particular way that ho says them n writer stands con fessed of tho good or ovll or gener osity or breadth or littleness that is in liltn. XO TIHAIi WAVE.
