Carlisle, Pa, to collect information re-
garding the ancestry Of James O.. Blaine,

rimony moments thought except when
II concerns other people. Then she can
be quite tart.
Kate Field Is another writer who Is
supposed to be too much in love with
Journalism to ever think OF marriage.
She writes to some purpose, for no other
woman is more quoted than she In the
dailies and weeklies Of this country. Then

raised q large American flag, this being
the signal for the whole school to salute

repeating together the following:

One country, one language, one flag.
This was followed by recitation en-.
titled "Columbis." by Miss Harriet Ward.
Miss Pauline Skiff's recitation, sLanding

Jr., OF New York.
W. R. b Trowbridge, jr., Yale 's7, son
of W. R 81. Trowbridge Of this city, is
the author of a book which has recently
bean Published by TAFT Sons & Go. of
Union Square, New York, entitled Coos
sip of of the Caribbees," being a series of
sketches of West Indian life and manners.
They are drawn with . skill and finish
quite rare In young author. They re-
veal in the whirl of fashionable
colonial gayety and its accompanying petty
jsalousies freshness and intensity of sx-
istenoe incompatible with our ideas of
tropical or sub.tropical life, but they are
nevertheless amazingly real As depicted by
the writer. The book il dedicated to Mr.
! George Bliss Rogers and Miss Caroline b.
Trowbridge. In the preface to the inter
esttng work Is the following from the
author: 81 have endeavored In the follow
I ing sketches to give az accurate an idea as
possible of social life In her msjesty's
West Indian dominions, and If I have
hurt the patriotic sensibilities of my COM
patriots, I heartily crave their pardon.
\ Bsrbadoesxand the adjacent colonies are
too dear to me to wilfully cast stones at
their Institutions. Nowhere in the en-
pire will be fonnd a more salubrious eli
mate and more genuine hospitality.
every social system is faulty, and
Anglo-West Indian society is open to the
l same censure as that of all small COM
munities where gossip and individual
| ambition are dominant. have tried to
satirize without bitterness foibles which
which are acknowledged even by ourselves.
To satisfy the curiosity of those who may
suspect that in the portrayal of such
characters a. Lady Marker, Lady Claude
Vernon or Mrs. Clarendon, I had an ul-
terrier purpose In attacking individuals,
beg leave to state that they are entirely
imaginary, as I have described them, but
just as likely az not to be met In Anglo
West Indian society, of which they are the
natural products"
The subjects of the sketches are: 1.-THE
Queens Representative" 1.-THE Boy Who
Came From Home" "Mrs Clarendon q,
Home" "Helen of Troy" Gan obeah
Story" ''The Old Portrait" 1.-THE Muse OF
History" "a Daughter of Babylon" "Fol
