1 8tyles In Autobiography. Cellini and Mark Twain. It has been said that the Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, written in the sixteenth century, is rated among toe seven best of such writings on record. Cellini is therefore a model for other autobiographers to follow. If they do, they will make a great mistake, In my humble opinion.

Tor Cellini's masterpiece, although rife with action, Intrigue, and excitement, Is so much so that Its great length begins to pall upon the reader Jong before the last chapter Is negotiated. Love, sword-'play, bloodshed, exile, daring, and doing, in sixteenth century Italian settings, is amusing for a while; but too much of a good thing becomes supremely tiresome In time. Mark Twain adopted another method of autobiographical writing: auto- biography without strict adherence to priority of events; in fine a general skipping about from place to place and in various periods of one's career; in old age and in youth, in middle age, and back to youth again, and so on of the young man whose bride wanted But In.

Mr. Clemens considered this to be the proper manner to conduct a true autobiography. There have been many critics of Mark Twain's Autobiography, 'due chiefly to this and yet I am rather in accord with toe Idea. For such a setting down of one's recollections of a long and busy life is; I should Judge, toe most natural way in which such recollections would present themselves; and one memory leads to another and that hinges upon another; and although toe method seems to present a hopeless jumble of facts and fancies, in the end the result is, from the psychologists' standpoint, a rather comprehensible and exceptionally Interesting whole. But such an autobiography is more a series of separated mental picturlngs than a concrete exhibition of one's past depicted step by step.

Mr. Terhune'i Method Is the More Satisfying. Mr. Terhune introduces us to still another way of writing autobiography; and I am not sure but that his is the most acceptable way of all. He starts out, true enough, with anecdotes of early childhood and continues right along through school and college and newspaper work and all sorts of writing ventures, till secure success is his.

Kntrancingly the scenes pass by, and you seem to be, as you read, standing aside with him and watching toe panorama of a healthy, busy life sweep by: toe Joys and toe heartaches; the drudgery and toe irritation and the toil, and the ultimate success hard won; and finally toe calm that settles softly down after the turmoil of t.h.

The description coincides that of Mary Lincoln in Ludwig's "Lincoln." Ludwig gives an account of her appearance at a reception shortly before the inauguration, "dreesed plainly, but richly, wearing a beautiful full trail, white moire-antique, with a small French lace collar. Her headdress was a simple one, a delicate vine arranged In good taste."
