But the light verse of 39-year-old Elwyn Brooks White is gentle; his hates are mild, his enjoyments various and even in a Manhattan summer he can find a number of innocent pleasures-the "noble step" of a Childs hostess, Sunday morning at Bedford and Barrow Streets, wheeling a baby carriage through the park, and the warm days when...
