XoooooooooooooooooooooooX
A statement was made in last weeks

OF Anthony Hope. Can you give me any
definite information concerning the date
Of their publication! M. G.
The statement made in last weeks
COURIER Was rash and partially in.
correct. 1t was corrected in the proof,
but the compositor did not heed the
correction. Mr.. Hawkins published her
first book, "A Man OF Mark" in 1889 at
his own expense. and impoverished him
self thereby. From that time until the
success Of THE Prisoner Of Zepda," Mr..
Hopes life was by no means all roses.
At this time he looked on the bar as
his career In life, and. far from think.
ing Of literature as profession. he
simply wrote for amusement. Father
Stafford" published in 1890, was his
second book, also q financial failure;
then followed the writing Of short
stories for the st. James Gazatte, several
Of which were republished in the vol
ume entitled sport Royal" Mr.. Wits
Widow" published in 1882, was more
successful; "A Change Of Air. and
Hall Hero" we're published the follow
ing year. HALF Hero" by the way,
has just been reissued by Harperis in a
new edition. Then he wrote :The
Prisoner OF Zenda," which established
his reputation. Subsequent books of
his are The Dolly Dialogues" "The
God in the Car" THE Indiscretion of
the Duchess" and at present he lie en-
gagged on q series OF romantic stories,
the scene Of which is laid in an imagin-
airy italian republic in the Middle Ages.
When q gentleman asks q lady to q
dance is he expected to send flowers?
That is a leading question. Theoret-
ically it sometimes seems a sad waste
Of duty to drag roses to q dance where
they are crushed and laid about on
window stills and divans and steam
radiators until they wilt and half the
time are stolen by some black hearted
wretch at the close OF the ball. But
practically should say its the thing to
send flowers. 1t makes the girl feel
complete and content and altogether
well treated. Flowers are customary
like gloves and fans. and to be without
them 10 to be more or less uncomfort-
able. OF course they are really not
necessary and the gentleman who
omits to send them can not be criticised,
but when they are sent they certainly
AID greatly to the young lady's
pleasure, and to her graciousness and
charm. That the gentleman takes her to
the dance ID merely regulation meter
Of form. he may do it under protest and
compulsion, because her card was pu,
in his invitation or at the entire ty Of q
despairing hostess. But flowers are a
personal and individual attention, and
they indicate that the young man is
interested in the evening and b er enjoy
ment Of it.

in for the fad at once, each serves to keep the other in countenance. The. giraffe will create sensation at first; but, of course, it will wane away. An- other fad is the introduction of os- triches into the city. They are Ameri- can birds, raised in California, and can be put to a variety of uses. Ostrich races are expected to be quite feature of metropolitan life.
 All these novelties are due to the possession of a superabundance of ready money by countless New York CTS. It takes as much ingenuity nowa- days to spend an income as to earn one. The ostrich and giraffe fads are merely symptoms of decadence in an age of luxury.

show, and never before it. Last year I saw Helen Gould and Mrs. George Gould and Mayor Strong, and ever SC many others whose names are known in two continents, within a promenade of 20 paces. And this year there will be like galaxies.
 If l were a stranger visiting New York, I'd come in Horse show week. The city is at it's best now. All the good theatrical attractions are in town, the swells have returned from green fields to the new worlds Piccadilly and
 But I wouldn't take box and be- come a part of the show, unless had twelve nice new dresses-one for each afternoon and evening of the week. And I haven't them.
 I suppose we shall see at the show some of those wonderful wraps which combine jet and embroidery and fur in such amazing fashions. If a woman is so ablaze with diamonds that four of her stalwart male relatives have to walk each side of her and before and behind-and such sight saw smiled at in '94-she will not wear her wrap very much, but she will have it.
 Perhaps it will be a clinging affair of velvet, with sleeves immensely full, not to compress the bediamonded garb below, with cuffs and a high collar of black Thibet or fox, and band of fur down the front. And there may be tabs and frogs and cabochons of jet applique, or jet and silver, down the front and up the back in most unmi1i- tary profusion.
 Or, far more likely, it will be a fimsy shoulder cape of velvet, dark green with black fur and a touch of white some where about it, and with lines of sequins and ruche of feathers; or q cape of pink velvet combined with sable skins, their tails bobbing all around the edges, with bands of em- broidery in white silk, cords and jet sequins, and more sable tails about the neck; or one of tobacco brown with brown fur-but no; that would hardly be theatrical enough.
 Yet the brown cape-fx the details as you will so that it gleam with big buttons and sparkle with jet and gilt ter with shining gewgaws-would look we'll over a rough brown serge walking suit with a corseiet and trimmings of scarlet cloth, embroidered with brown and gold cord. Or let the scarlet be crimson for our Harvard friends.
 After all. I would like to be the girl from out of town with three gowns

strong, stately, modern woman figure from the Agricultural building from the worlds fair. Curious bric-a-brac is everywhere, but these things are for gotten when there slips into the room and hides in big chair, almost as a part oft, slender little woman-almost too slender to carry such heavy crown of brown hair.
 Miss Monroe has not been before the public very long, and a good part of it knows less of her than it will by and by. With it's low, white forehead, it's clear, dark eyes and mobile features, her face is capable of an infinite play of expres- sion. In repose she has the look of Q girl in her teens. When interested in talk she is a woman, clever, cultivated, ambitious, yet shy of letting her am bitions be seen. She will not take the world by storm, like western cyclone, but her verses will come to it quietly, silently, and by their sweetness, their saneness, their understanding of hu- man emotions, will find their place in literature.
 Miss Monroe is Chicago girl, born and brought up in the windy city. She was educated in the convent at George town, from which Mrs. Potter Palmer came also, with other women promi- nent at the worlds fair. Her first work was for Chicago newspapers, and was written from New York city. Letters on music, art and the drama, she calls those beginnings in journal Ism. When the great auditorium in ohicago was opened she was called to write the dedicatory poem, and it was the verses read on that occasion that led to her selection as the writer of the Columbian ode.
 All this sounds like fair winds and sunny weather for swift and smooth iaunehing on any sort of career; but oVerwork brought on nervous prostra- 'ion, and there were years when no work was possible. Even now the girl poet looks fragile and too delicate for tne work she has set herself, though she IS busy in her study every morning ana insists that the trouble has quite illted, except little occasional weak ness of the eyes.
 The most solid work I've done of ia'e," she says, looking very small and very young as she leans forward i'll her orlght blouse and dark gown, lis bi- ugraphy of my brother-in-law, John Mellborn Root, the first architect Of the worlds fair. He died in 1891, when he was only fl years old; but :, oeileve he has given to Chicago the anest contributions to art in the way o business buildings that this conti- uent has seen. Look at the great Wom- ans Temple, the Rookery. the lnsur- aace Exchange, the Phoenix and therest of them.

read Isben, too. I don't see low people can call him provincial genius. To nle he comprehends the universe. And Maeterlinck. It is good to find there are men who can think, who are studying out for us this puzzling worlds problems.
 ''But one does not have to go far from home to find writers. Eastern CTS who think that Chicago is all pork and beef should have a look through with the Procession," by Henry B. Fuller. Then they will know Chicago splendid, vigorous, warm-blooded; a young conquering city, with a cool head half trained, and a great heart half awakened. Then they will know, too, great artist, who is not finical in his methods, who can paint in the mass, with large bold lines and flashing wig orous color.
 "Yes, I am glad to be westerner, to live where the chance is best of unit ing old world grace with new world force and freedom"
 ''What are Chicago women doing?"
 "What are they not doing? The chief editorial writer on the Times Herald is Mrs. Margaret Sullivan. In the newspaper world, in business, in philanthropy, in their literary clubs women are at work here, where they play at work in the east to get into society. Chicago is blessed because it hasn't any 400"
 And then there came bustling home from school troop of children-Miss Monroe's nephews and nieces-and the way along Dearborn avenue seemed shorter and the sun softer, as l wondered what this bit of Chicago woman will give us in the future of it's largeness, its strength, it's power and its thrill-to stow away in our libra 1ies.

And the low cut gown of her was all in pale blue and silver brocade. too, with blue and silver cord em- broidery and rhinestone buckles. The same idea might be carried out in cream and brick red brocade, by wearer wishing a warmer effect.
 Not surprising in a season when fur and pale brocades hobnob, there is much demand for rough cloths and al- most as much for whipcords, diagonal and corduroy. The latter is the most effective of the three, but corduroy is too lasting material to win its way with the dressmalkers. Pale grays and blues are good colors for it, that it may assume delicaey, if it have it not.

Consequent ly every fault in the Brooklyn bridge has been exaggerated, and the attack diverted from the L, which, as all New York knows, needs reformation far moro than does the bridge. A chance remark of Sage's gave the scheme away, and the bridge once more enjoys some measure of public appreciation. It is pointed out that after all there is only one bridge for 3,ooo,ooo people, and it's crowding therefore is not to be won dered at. The star Of the structure is again in the ascendant, and the old proposition of ornamenting the high pillars with a triumphant eagle or statue is being discussed anew. After all, New York is proud of the great bridge.

SOCIETY s PERIL. T h a n k s to him, there will be none of the terrible revela- tions expected, and New York society breathes freely. It is an open secret that the entire Vanderbilt family used their personal influence to rescue Van Alen from his predieament. I number of families are said to fear the conse- quences of general public cleansing of soiled linen. This feud is society's one dread. Rumor, as the late Ward McAllister pithily put it, is ever flying about New York with the deaths head of scandal. Some of these days, he would add, the peril will become in- eyitable and the country will be shocked. Indeed, whether deserved or not, society is rapidly acquiring repu- tation far from enviable. The old timers are perpetually expressing won- der that the moral explosion is deferred so long. No concealment is made of the fact that Mrs. Cleveland will under no circumstances have anything to do with New York society, fearing the conse- quence hanging over the heads of it's members. How long will the eselandre be deferred?

 and Reads.
COPYRIGHT. 1895

Ont on Dearborn avenue in Chicago. ,ylere the murk of the city lifts a bit and the sun shines as 'tis suns duty, and not darkly and through haze, you may see on almost any of these autumn afternoons slight, girlish figure on a bicvcle. It pedals swiftly and steadily and sits straight, and if it passes near vou over the carpet of brown willow and oak leaves you may recognize the features of the shy little poet of the worlds fair ode, Miss Harriet Monroe.
 Such a mite of woman is she you may take her in her short cycling skirt for q child. So reserved is she and so bent on living her own quiet life away from the push and the press and the crush of the headstrong, bustling, crowding western metropolis that she will be glad if you do not know her, and if she is free to go her way down where the winds blow and the waters dance on the shores of feyer-changing Lake Michi- gan.
 But if you find her in the morning when the bicycle is housed and the pen not too busy, then you Will learn what western woman and a western home can be. Warm color strikes you the minute the door is opened-such a eheery note after the somberness of a Chicago autumn. Walls of dull gold hold the light and the strong-hearted- ness of the sun all day. The wood work is olive, the carpet duller olive Rugs and cushions of crimson and gold make the place oriental in it's sugges- tions of far eastern richness, but leave it altogether western in it's coziness and hearthstone feeling.
