1t is impossible not to admire the
cover of Clyde Fitch's new volume of
sketches. Messrs. Stone and Kimball
have an especial gift at artistic covers,
and this one, which is gotten up a la
some of the seasons prettiest frocks
and consists of transparent linen scrim
over lining of what might very well
be changeable silk of a reddish hue and
is decorated with lines of black highly
suggestive of velvet ribbon bands, is
an admirable binding for the bunch of
chiffons which Mr. Fitch calls "Some
Correspondence and Six Converse
TONS" The little tales are bright and
amusing enough, but we are not at all
sure that they live up to the promise
of the binding. The Correspondence,
especially Two Letters and a Postal
Card, is better than the six CONVEX
sations which take place between "the
1mpfessionistsa and the Widowed Lady"
and which suggest the Dolly Dialogues
with Dolly left out. Mr.. Fitch is clever.
but 1T Is unfortunate to suggest COM
parison with the most dazzling thing
Anthony Hope ever produced, for it is
obviously impossible to Guido Mr..
Hope on his own ground and the only
thing left to a worker in the same line
Is to fall short of him-a condition
probably as little satisfying to Mr..
Fitch as to HIS readers.

"a First Fleet Family is a very real
istic and apparently veracious account
of the founding of the colony Of New
South Wales. The story is told by one
Sergeant Dew, who when a boy was
drawn into a smuggling affair and
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-08-02

barely escaped going as a prisoner in
stead Of as one of the troops on the
Botany bay expedition. The leader of
the smuggling expedition and his wife
are among the convicts transported,
and one of the best things in the book
from literary point OF view is Ser
geant Dew's naive patronage at long
range of these people, and his absolute
forgetfulness of the fact that the dis
lance between them is a purely arti-
fetal affair which he owes wholly to
the kindness Of the convict, Will Bry
ant, in testifying that Dew was not
voluntarily mixed up in the smuggling.
The book has much interest both as
fiction and as history. If, however, it
had been less carefully studied in it's
latter aspect, it would be perhaps a
more thrilling tale Sergeant Dew is a
carefully drawn and absolutely life-like
character, but in making him the
mou.h-piece of the tale the authors
have put out of their reach the thrill
ing effects which would have resulted
had the same story been related by a
more imaginative man.

The reader of fiction has at his COM
mand an almost unlimited choice of
worlds. He can enter where he will
The world to which Mr.. Justin McCar-
thy introduces the readers Of 1.-The
Riddle Ring" ! is certainly not the
sphere of reality, and as little is 1t
the world of idealism. 1t is just the
old-fashionod world Of romance where
handsome heroes exist chiefly to pro-
tect and succor distressed damsels
and to puzzle, out the inscriptions on
mysterious rings and to hold dealings
with attractive villains whose aims
and methods of villainy are equally
cloudy. There is no very great salts
faction for the mind or for the soul
to be had in such a world, but on a hot
afternoon when both mind and soul are
temporarily IN allegiance, a novel of
this type makes, very fair reading for
an hour.

Harper & Brothers have issued "The

Joan of Are" 1t is a great satisfac-
ton to have Mark Twain's books clad
in the comfortable and becoming dress
which their new publishers have given
them. They are now in satisfactory
guise for library use. 1t may seem I'M
grateful to say so, in view of the mis-
fortunes which overlook their previous
publisher, but, really, if anything
could have daunted the appetite of the
American public for Mark Twain's pc
culiar humor, it would have been the
print, paper and binding of those too
fat, too shiny, too leathery subscrip-
ton volumes in which most of us made
the acquaintance, years ago, of Mr..
Clemens productions. They were I'M
wieldy, unattractive tones, and it is
good to know that we shall see them
no more, and that their place will be
filled with the attractive books before
us.
