THE GREY LADY-By HENRY SETON MARRI-
MAN; Mcmillan & Co., New York.
Mrs. Harrington WAS woman with
cold grey eyes, who knew how to caress
a favorite, avoid an unfortunate, and
trust nobody. A Mrs Ingham-Baker,
her daughter, Agatha, and the two Fitz
Henry's, next to the grey lady, are the
most important personages in the book
the latter being, we are told, lob
viously brothers, but not aggressively
twins" Luke Fitz Henry failed to pass
the examination for the royal navy
that would have fulfilled the family
destiny, and so found employment and
at length advancement in the merchant
service, coming finally to be first officer
of the Croonah, famous passenger
steamship. The end Of all ambitions
came when he yielded to the tempta-
tion to wreck the Croonah, for share
of the insurance, that he might marry
Agatha-not knowing that Agatha had

gers. He found this out in the final
struggle for life, and she died in his
arms as he was trying to carry her to
the shore. 1t is sad and Improbable
story, and rather poor specimen of
literary construction withal.

PROSE DRAMAS, by HENRIK IBsEN. Trans
lated by William Archer. United States
Book Co. New York.
Here we have two handsome volumes
(paper) of the Lakewood Series.
The plays comprise A Dolls House,
The Pillars of Society, Ghosts, Ros-
mersholm, The Lady From the Sea, An
Enemy of Society, The Wild Duck, and
The Young Mems League.
The plays occupy nearly thousand
pages, and there is very interesting
Introduction by Mr.. Edmond Gosse.
Ibsen is one of the great lights of Scan
dinavian literature. Copenhagen was
the Mecca of the young poets dream,
even when an apothecary's apprentice,
nearly fifty years ago. OF his doctrines,
it has been said of him that he would
arraign all forms of belief before the
bar Of humanity. Everything conven-
tional appears to him sinister and
threatening. That the world now calls
him great, and is turning with much
interest to these plays, is plain from
the critics words.

Success is in the sllences,
Though fame is in the song.


Philadelphia has new poet, quiet
sort of soul, who will never do any
creature harm. He wants to know
from whence he came, whittier he
tends, and what it's all about anyhow.
This is the way he starts out:
"I came, know not whence-and go
know not where.
The germ from which we all do grow
Who can declare?"
After fearful but futile attempts to
fetch up something he can tie to. Mr..
Bates, Mr.. Stockton Bates, of Philadel-
phia, gets badly balled up and falls in
heap thus:
''I still would know
What part to play
Between the sunrise flush and sunsets golden
OF life's short day."
We don't know much about a sun
rise flush, but looking Bates all over.
we should advise him to try some
other game.

Eour-DoIIar Bill Not Redeemed

Yesterday forenoon man appeared
at the subtreasury and presented a 81
bill of the old continental currency"
for redemption. He hit Bert Farrar,
the paying teller, and nearly paralyzed
that person by asking $4,000 in
liquidation of the ancient OBJ
legation. He obtained this re-
suit by figuring compound
interest from the date of issue, 1777,
and was displeased when Mr.. Farrar
suggested that 40 cents per 100
pounds" was about the probable value
of such stuff. Finding that neither
$4,000 nor any other sum was forth
coming, he gathered up his precious
possession and sorrowfully departed.
