and cap when she appears in the trial scene, and it adds a bright touch of color to the gloom of the scene.
 Mr Scott has collated all the facts and told the story of Miss Terry's long career in an attractive manner and the book de- serves place in the library of every lover of the stage.
 A fitting companion volume in every way to the above book is Edward A. Dithmar's s book about John Drew. It is also fully H. lustrated, which adds very much to the en- joyment of the text. MT. Drew is perhaps the most essentially modern" of all our actors. He has acted with admirable skill in the "old comedies" and with rare elo- quence in plays of Shakespeare; but in the public mind he has been most closely asso- ciated with plays of the passing hour and the moods and manners of the immediate present. The author says: q can recall wildly the impression l received in 1875 of the young actor who made his first appear ance on February 15 of that year at the Fifth Avenue Theater in the taking role of Bob Ruggles in The Big Bonanza We all liked him because his was a personality new and pleasing; because he was una1- fected and gentlemanly, and some of us saw promise of something better in his work. He scarcely played up to the ex- perienced Fanny Davenport in his love scenes with her, to be sure, yet he had in- dviduality, and he walked the stage with the ease of one born to it." MT, Dithmar follows the young actor through all his varied and interesting career, though other chapters will eventually have to be added to the well-written book for MT. John Drew is now achieving a splendid success as Richard Carvel
 Those who have watched the literary ca reer of Jeannette l.. Glider with interest n md Q1 ir1t tid11 x1rin Hn1Iht hpr newly published work entitled "The Auto biography of a Tombey." It is such a de- lightful chronicle of real child-tomboy though she undoubtedly was-that her work is certain to find many readers among chill dren of an older growth. Yet it is difficult to trace the tomboy, as we see her in the many experiences told in the chronicle, in the matured and dignifed woman who has long since gained such an enviable career in literary fields author, critic and co-edtor of the monthly magazine, "The Critic" But one thing reconciles the two extreme pictures of the same individual. Some years ago Miss Glider had charge Of the literary page in one of New Ks larg est dailies. Her work was vigorous and thoughtful yet characterized always by peculiarly delicate touch, which was no doubt but the feminine part of her work. One day little portrait of Miss Glider was published in the paper, and terrible shock was experienced upon first seeing it. Miss Glider had short hair, and to all appear ances, so far as one would be likely to judge by the picture, it was the image of man. So maybe after all something of the ''tomboy" yet remains in the mature and accomplished literary woman, though it is possibly only in evidence in the portraits of this "bachelor maid"
 Mr. Winston Spencer Churchill will make his appearance as a lecturer in this coun- December under the management of Major has made his debut as a lecturer in Eng land. He is visiting the principal towns, and will have some of the most eminent citizens to introduce him to the audience. It has been suggested that in this country his namesake, Mir Winston Churchill, the author of "Richard Carvel," perform the office of introducer, but this may be one of Major Ponds pleasantries.
 
 Few English writers send us better books new novel, "The Conscience of Coralie," like its predecessors, is full of cleverness and wit. The heroine of the new work Is American girl, and it is unusual to find an Englishman who understands the "speces' so well and as for the American dialect, no Englishman except MT. Kipling ever completely mastered it. MT. Moore's for mer books have been great favorites with American readers, and it is safe to predict that his new book with it's American hero- inc will be an even greater favorite.
