HE SPEAKS OF HIS FATHER.

George du Maurier's son Gerald is a member
of Beerbohm Trees company, which is now in
New York. To a Tribune reporter he recently
granted an interview, in which he talked at
considerable length in regard to his father and
his work in the realms of illustration and
fiction. Speaking of his fathers books, he
said:
Personally 1 like Peter Ibbetson' much
better than 'Trilby,' and 1 think father also
thought it was the better book of the two. He
was very much interested in the new book,
The Martian,' and preferred it to either of the
Others After his books became so
popular he was quite overwhelmed with let
tiers from all parts of the world. A good many
came from admiring women, especially Ameri-
can women, and some of them were vastly
amusing. l have no doubt many of them
thought he was q young man."
Anybody who examines English Society as
Sketched by Du Maurier'' cannot fail to notice
the upattrsctive dresses in which most OF the
women are clothed Some of them are posi-
lively slovenly In appearance, even when al
lowance is made for the rapid changes of fash
ion. Some light is thrown upon this feature
of Du Maurier's work in the remarks of his
son:
HE had not the slightest idea of fashion
nor what was the correct thing in dress.

author says American architecture reached its
climax. The author is Fellow of the Ameri-

presenting some of the finest buildings from

STORY OF SIN.

WHITE SANDY f. C. Balfour. The Merriam
Company, New York.
OF the making of seventh commandment
stories there seems to be no end, and this is
another one of the multitude founded en- the
breaking of it. The pertnence of the title to
the matter of the book may be perceived by
the reader, good at guessing, early in the mar
rative but 1t is not explained to the less clever
until the end of the tale. Adam, the wronged
husband, after his trouble has become
merely thing of memory, is walking
through the white sand of an Arab
town. The sight of the sand brings
memories and Adam thinks of the
soft escaping imperiousness of it in his fingers
"StOne may be carved and clay nodded, but
sand is neither to hold nor to bind. If such q
thing is sin, who but He shall judge it?" But
to many readers. this woman, whose frailty is
by the title of the book likened unto the
dazzling and shifting white sand, will seem
much more comparable to black sand. When
her husband comes to make a magnanimous
effort to call her back from sin and she
instantly decides to desert her paramour as
lightly as she had done her husband. she says
to Adam, 81 dare say l am little BEAST" and
t was one of the times when the fair little liar
spoke the truth.

A NEW MONTHLY REVIEW.

We have received from the publishers, the
Critic Company, 2S7 Fourth avenue, New
York, copy of The Month. in Literature,
Art and Liie-A Journal of Cultivation. This
new candidate for public favor is edited by
Miss Jeanette L. Glider and Joseph B. Glider,
who are joint editors of the New York
Critic. 1t is a really wonderful 10 cents
worth of literature, the first mum Der contain
ing signed contributions by Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, Frank r. Stockton, Gerald Stanley
Lee, Locke Richardson, Dr. W. ]. Rolfe, James
Herbert Morse, Bliss Carman, Howard Crosby
Butler and A. l. du Point Coleman.
In their introductory the editors say:
"There is always room for new fdea-and
the Month is something new. There is
room for it because 1t breaks new ground and
makes place for itself"
Most of the articles con tanned in its 100
pages are, of course, reprints from the Critic,
which fact enables the Month to be sold at
such low figure, but by no means detracts
from its merits. The Critic we believe to be
the finest literary journal published in the
United States, and with the cream of its arti-
cles reprinted in a convenient form even the
least wealthy have no excuse for not keeping
thoroughly posted in matters relating to
literature, art music and the drama. We be-

Little Love Lou.

Little love Lou, in the vaulted arching
The wedding music of Lohengrin
Resounds and pulses to time the marching
OF usher and bridemaid pacing in.
The crowded church is whispering, humming
Its curious comment as crowds must do
But what of that?-for know you're coming
You're coming TO marry me, little love Loul
Little love Lou, while we stand here under
The fiower-festoons, and the pouring light
Descends on you, darling, look and wonder,
So winsome youare, and so winsomely white.
Yes, white, pure white from the veil that
crowns you
Quite down to the tip of your satin shoe,
All white, snow-white in the silk that gowns
you
All white like dainty dove, little love Loul
Little love Lou how your lashes glisten,
Your soft cheek Pushes, your soft eyes fill
With dancing drops while the people listen
To hear your tenderly-yoiced, ~ willp'
And how you glow when the golden fetter
Encircles your finger and makes us two
One for the worse, and one for the better,
And one till death parts US, my little love
Lou!
Little love Lou, the great organ closes
The rite with a jubllant thunder-song,
And down from the ehancel, and over the roses
They scatter before you, we pass along.

A NEW POET IN THE WEST.

George j. Duraind, who has been identified
with journalism in this City for the past if
teen years, has just completed poem, the
publication of which William Doxey is now
considering. 1t is poem on the ideal in ma
ture and art, and consists of between 1000 and
5000 words. The author has planned to pub
lish 1t in eleven small books, each with an in
dividual title. Mr.. Duraind has been greatly
encouraged to proceed with his work by DR..
David Starr Jordan and Professor Hudson of
Stanford University, who several months ago
read what had been then written of the poem.
The work is written on lofty lines MI.
Duraind says its tendency and aim is the same
with Christianity, that is, as DR.. Charming
said. to spiri tualize our nature.
Mr.. Duraind worked for several years on the
poem. He, in fact, wrote four or five different
works before his way became clear to write
the great poem, which he finally completed
last Saturday. Mr.. Duraind here tells what
induced him to write the work, and gives to
the reader glimpses of the noble purposes
which animated him.

into his drawings, or would at least get some
ideas from them. But, dear me, he hadn't the
least notion of what they had onl Ny sisters
looked to it that he got the right things in his
pictures He would come home sometimes and
sketch something which had attracted him in
passer-by on the street. Often it would be
some impossibly queer arrangement, and my
sisters would protest. Why, father, you
mustn't use that in Punch. Nobody wears
those things now, they're dreadfuIly old
fashioned, and he would give in immediately
to what he recognized as their superior iudg
ment He was even putting poor Trilby in
those Latin-quarter scenes OF forty years ago
into modern garments, and had to be brought
before the family tribunal for that. My sisters
had to hunt up some old-style clothes for him
to use. He did have some models, you know,
for the postures and the clothes, though the
face of Trilby was purely ideal Little Billee's
sister, by the way, and Sweet Alice were both

FIVE SHORT STORIES.

FELLOW TRAvELERs--By Graham Travsrs.
d. Appleton & Co.. New \ ork. Price 80 cents.
For sale by William Doxey, Palace hotel, City,
Mr. Travers introduces us to some interest
ing characters in these short stories. One of
the most pleasing of the five is 1.-THE knight
and the Lady, in which the lady proposes to
the knight, but was amply justified as the
knight was dying and she promised to marry
him as reward for struggling to get we'll.
The knight was but 9 and the lady only 6, but
their romance was more interesting than that
of most grown people.
Another story is sort OF a story in agnos-
ticism. The two main characters are beau
uful, wealthy and frivolous girl and very
plain and very serious one, who looks upon
the gay butterfly with feelings far from envy.
One day the giddy girl questioned the serious
one as to what she believed. She could get no
answer but, 81 believe it is worth while trying
to be good" The end of the story leads us to
infer that if the serious one had believed more
the giddy one would have seen it and would
have been saved from the sin into which she
drifted.

MANNERS FOR MEN

THE COMPLETE BACHFLoR-By the author
of the LAS Seen by Him Papers" d. Appleton
d Co., New YORK. Price 81 rs. For sale by
William Doxey. Palace Hotel, City.
The author gives as q reason for this little
book that while he was conducting the query
department in Vogue he received letters from
all parts OF the United States asking for infor-
nation on certain details of etiquette which
seem to have been overlooked by the writers
of etiquette manuals, and these correspond
ents wanted the questions answered from the
New York standpoint. Herein the bachelor is
warned against the faults which will make
him impossible" in society. On the last page
we are told that one of the marks of gentle
man is his complete mastery OF himself under
the most trying and aggravating circum-
stances and furthermore this: "Under great
propagation the expletive damn is tolerated
in society. but it should be whispered and not
pronounced aloud"

MARY STUART, on ZEN OF SCoTS-By Alex
andre dumas. The Merriam Company, New
York.
Alexandra Dumas and Mary, Queen of Scots,
are both names to conjure with, and when
they come in combination to US with Dumas
for author and the fair Queen with her ever
fascinating tragic history for subject, we must
needs surrender to their joint entertainments.
With all his wonderful powers of Imagination
the famous writer of romance coHld not have
created heroine of fiction who could so
charm us as does Mary Stuart of actual
history.
This excellent translation of J. NJ Howell
places before US vivid picture of the turbu-
lent times when this woman of strangely
mingled strength and weakness strove TO rule
the unruly Scots. These times we're exciting
and picturesque, and Dumas knew well how
to make us feel the thrill of that excitement
and see the drama with fascinated eyes. His
way of telling of the murder of the Queens
favorite, Rizzio, the avenging OF that deed by
the barrels of gunpowder when Darnley was

prisonment In Lochlevin Castle with her
fathers one-time mistress for jailer, and her
daring escape thence by the aid of that Doug
lass who loved her so hopelessly and faith
fully, and of the last scene when the ak of
Elizabeth's jealousy struck the final blow to
her brave and beautiful rival, will make a
deeply grave impression upon the readers
memory.
But with all its merit there is something is
appointing about the book. Although the
author seems under careful restraint to show
no bias toward either the guilt or innocence
of the Queen, he yet puts into her mouth
words so coarsely satirical that they spoil that
ideal we love to cherish of her womanly sweet
ness and her queenly nobleness and majesty.
Even If we are compelled to admit that the
circumstantial evidence against her is too
overwhelming to be doubted, we will suspect
flaws in any portrayal which represents the
Scottish Queen as less than noble spirit, how.

Beyond I?

After the story has once been told
After ones had his little fling
At the world, and found the apples of gold
Are gilt, and rapidly furnishing
After the curtain begins to fall.
Tell me, what is back of it all I?
Oh, life is fair at the break of day,
AS the sun climbs up the eastern hill,
And the flowers are sweet along the way
we gather with lavish hands, until
We find the hills grow rugged and steep.
And shadows across the pathway creep.
And life at noontide is not half bad;
Sure we have learned lesson or two,
Have bought our experience gay or sad,
And paid our toll in passing through
The little gate beside which stands
Old Father Time, with outstretched hands.
But when the light begins to wane,
And shadows deepen around our way,
What does it matter, the loss or gain?
What does it count, our work or play?
After the curtain begins to fall,
Tell me- what is back of 1t all :?

A SHORT NOVEL.

A GAME OF C0NSEQUENCES-By Albert Kin
ross The Merriam Company, New York.
This little book, almost brief enough to be
called novelette,, is called by the author q
comedy-novel, and tells the story OF an army
officers admiration for talented and ambi-
tious young governess, who chafes at the SUBJ
ordinate position fate has placed her in. Both
the chief characters are worldly and their
consciences are dormant. First comes a clever
Irritation between this army man and the
governess, Jessica, who was instinctively a
fine performer on the human heart. The fir
tation ends in a declaration of love, and at her
own suggestion Jessica becomes the officers
mistress. They live happy life together and
Jessica becomes less worldly and more wo-
manly. The captain begins to develop con-
science, 'but then he was blissfully ignorant
of the fact" Finding themselves growing
more and more in love with each other they
marry. Whether the book is morally whole
some would be a very debatable question.
