You will. or ypu . won't, like Sherwood Anderson. You can't stay on the fence. You may ob ject to his subject matter, and we won't blame you If you do; Peo ple aren't in the habit ot liking to get down to facts so introspective, so personal. But you will have to grant; it: Sherwood Anderson is compelling; Sherwood. Anderson is ' a monarch in the literary world;. Sherwood Anderson holds a . deserved scepter.

I won't mind a bit be ing forty. I wouldn't be m day younger." What recompense he finds for her is reserved for the reader to surmise. In finding Eve Greensleeve to herself, the author takes occasion, severally, to find other women to them selves as wen. All this is about women, and by a man at that!
