The article presents information on the book "The Letters of Katherine Mansfield," edited by J. Middleton. One reads well into the first volume of Katherine Mansfield's letters and is pleased with a mind that can play over life as a flame plays, lighting to color a smooth metal bright or dull. One leaves the second volume aware that one has been played upon oneself by a fire. It is not that she is looking for the good in life. It is that she has a kind of well-bred willingness to see the possible intention, to include catastrophe as, say, a rage of art and in general to make allowances for life as might a week-end guest in a house not yet organized and running smoothly.
