teriors when the captain of the Thames tender blew hi Charlie Chaplin could do better than that. Irvin Cobb does do better than that. It belongs in a Drury Lane pantomime, not in Punch. But the voyagers got up presently from their comic recumbency, and in chapter two were standing through the Straits, “A topsail schooner lay off Dover, every sail but motionless: She seemed, girl-like, to be absorbed in her own charming reflection. Our long bow- wave blurred the vision for a minute, which appeared to annoy her, for she tossed her head.” Could anything be more perfect than that? A shimmering seascape etched in two sentences, and set into motion in a third! The deceptive simplicity and the imaginative charm belong to descriptive writing at its best. The book is far fuller of the stolid lumor than of touches like this—bat they are there, the ability to achieve them is there, just as their equivalent is always in Punch, and is one, at least, of the secrets of its ex- cellence. ANY of Mr. Garstin’s poems and ballads are taken directly out of Punch, As poetry they aren’t much, As humor they aren’t much. Punch boasts better contributors. But they do have this same touch of style. Witness “A Cornish Lullaby”: Sleep, my little ugling, Daddy's gone a-smuggling, Daddy's gone to Roscoff in the Meragissey Maid, A sloop of ninety tons With ten brass carriage-guns, To teach the King’s ships manners and respect for honest trade. That has the authentic touch—the swing, the style, the proper banter, You may look through Punch week after week, and whatever the poems, you'll always find they have the authentic touch. You can’t always laugh at them, or you can’t always thrill to them; but you can invariably read them, however fastidious your car and mind. To say a man writes for Punch is to say he’s got the class. Artemus Ward was one of the few Americans who ever contributed to it, by the way. If you will turn back to those letters he wrote for its pages, you will be amazed to find how fresh and funny they still are, after half a century or more, They, too, had the Jinks (as a burglar breaks into the bedroom)—That was a corking good idea of mine—keepin’ this home brew under my pillow in case of emergency.
