Abstract

In the Driftway
March 13, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Something was said in this column last week about beauty. Not all that the Drifter, a person who writes with this pseudonym, wanted to say, partly because he was too lazy to write it, but also because the Nation editor whom he criticized cut eighteen lines out of what he wrote. "Pressure of space" was the reason given. Pressure of pumpkins! The Drifter has his own opinion as to the reason, but anyhow he is returning to the subject this week. For beauty is a big subject and is coming back into its rightful place after a long exile by order of the Puritans.
