"KABARA GOYA"
Sir -Is it permissible: to protest against; the inclusion of the story "Kabara Goya" in your issue ‘of ‘November 21?. This tale may have literary ability; and if that term implies horrors and manifold» and morbid stress on frightfulness, I grant it that. That, however, is.all that commends it. Is it necessary, kind or wise to dwell on the crimes done or {magined by a few degenerates, when it increases nervousness and dread in all those who must go home to unlit houses in the dark and the rain, in those who must live alone, must hire taxis whatever their fears may be? utes Surely we are over-doing the importance of realistic writing of this sort when there are still comedy, humour, tragedy and pathos to be found among the great majority of our wholesome minded population; waiting to be immortalized by our clever writers.
