the Washington correspondent of the Phil

them exclaimed: why, what does such an
array of carriages and such a crush of peo-

William Ernest Henley. who received re-
Gently the second prize of so guineas from
the London Academy for his Essay on the
Life, Genius and Achievement of Burns"
is acknowledged as one of the leading Eng
lish literary critics. He first made his rep
utation on the National Observer and later
he founded the New Review. His influence,
however. as a critic has not been bounded
by his writings. It has been his delight
for years to gather about him young men
and to preach to them the doctrine of art
for arts sake. Despite the fact that his
own prose style Is often as execrable as that
Of Meredith. Henley has an enthusiastic
following. His influence over Stevenson
was deep and permanent. and among his

An Oriental Dream
The room itself is a veritable Oriental
dream. The walls are of East India onyx
and gold decorated woods. Street scenes
in Cairo are painted on panels and set in
between them. An imported Egyptian lam
tern In dull bronze, and holding many
lights, hangs from the centre of the ceiling.
IT is covered with a shade of pale old rose

beauties of the far East. In this room
