Christmas--the room is crowded, the
doll-mender says. The week before
last Christmas she found herself 300
dolls behind her orders, and had to
work might and day" to have the
work done in time. At this season she
has a good deal of leisure, but never q
day passes without at least one GUS
toner knocking on the showroom
door. And one customer means, at an
average so cents
''The sign is a great help to me-" said
the doll-mender. 1T has really made
my trade. 1t does not bring work from
the retail stores, but it does from the
children. 1t makes playing with dolls
more real, you see, to have hospital
to take them to. Very fine fun it is for
the children, as you would know if you
could see them come here, playing all
the while that the doll is in a danger
Gus state and needs most careful atten-
ton. I play at the same thing with
them, sometimes; it's good for business
and, then, it is fun for me, too. To
have doll 'mended is bother; but to
take doll to a, hospitaP-that's a
game. nd so the sign has been a great
help to me. From the New York Eve

"Kipling delights in drunkenness.
We laugh at drunkenness nowadays,
as the Elizabethans laughed at insan-
ity, and Kipling uses it as trump
card, all the time hope civilization
will advance beyond the point where
we may laugh at drunkenness, but
we have not reached it yet. An ex-
tensive fondness for profanity is seen
in his work. Profanity rightly used is
very effective in strong talking, espec-
tally when it comes from the mouth of
an otherwise silent and non-ta laxative
man. But as Kipling uses it and
smears it all over his pages it becomes
boresome in the extreme. Smells also
occupy a large part of his attention;
take the Strange Ride as an example.
Beastly details never escape him. His
treatment of women is horrible, pagan,
uncivilized, and, above all, his occa-
sional cynicism strikes us as very bad.
A woman reading some of Kipling's
tales seems as much out of place as
she would in the Office of cheap ho-
tel, with the stale tobacco, oaths and
bad air."

PROF. PHELPS ON KIPLING.

Professor Phelps of Yale takes his
Kipling with large exceptions Here is
a passage from the adverse half of his
lecture on Kipling, in course on con-
temporary authors:
but Kipling is the last man to
whom we can award praise indiscrim-
inately. He is awfully uneven and full
of errors. When he is dull he is per-
fectly horrible. never read ANYTHING
so dull as are some of his pages. He
is a barbarian, slowly coming up to
civilized standards. He has little if
any taste, and he shows no proper bal
ance in his work. He is lacking in art.
His tragedy often becomes melodrama.
his comedy buffoonery, his character
ization caricature. His style is utterly
bad. He strives for effect and to saw
smart things, and sometimes he saws
them, but often he is ludicrous. IT
would not do for a young writer to
copy him. 1t would wreck his future.
And Kipling is not well read. His
books impress me as those of a man
who reads little and has studied less.
He does not understand sentence con-
struction, to use rhetorical term.
But he is master and supreme in his
knowledge of words. Here he is a
king of writers. 1t is the one great rea-
son for his effectiveness. He always
knows just the word use-the power
of the specific word. He is a far great
er success in the short story than in
the novel. He cannot draw character,
as novel demands. Perhaps he has
not the patience, perhaps he cannot do
