LIVING ALONE BY STELLA BENSON AUTHOR OF "I POSE," "THIS IS THE END" MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1920 _First Edition 1919_ _Reprinted 1920 (twice)_ This is not a real book. It does not deal with real people, nor should it be read by real people. But there are in the world so many real books already written for the benefit of real people, and there are still so many to be written, that I cannot believe that a little alien book such as this, written for the magically-inclined minority, can be considered too assertive a trespasser. I have to thank the Editor of the _Athenaeum_ for allowing me to reprint the poem "Detachment" and the first chapter of this book. The courtesy of the Editor of the _Pall Mall Gazette_ in permitting me to use again any of my contributions to his paper also enables me to include in the fifth chapter the tragic incident of the Mad 'Bus. S.B.
