Many women have been reproached for
living for the sole object of entertaining.
No one doubts that such an aim is petty
and narrowing, but it is equally certain
that it is a womans duty to understand
the art of entertaining, and this forms the
subject of an attractive and useful article
by Lady Jeune. E. c. Peixotto's article,

McClures Magazine for May is rich in
those qualities for which It has come to
stand-reality and vivid portrayals of life.
The great feature of the number is I'M
questionable the remarkable chapter from
Capt. Alfred Dreyfus' Own Story of his
arrest, degradation, and imprisonment
For directness, self-control, and simple
truthfulness. Dreyfus narrative could not
be surpassed. The portion of 1t which APP
pears in the magazine is made the more
forceful by contrast with the selections
from his diary written on Devils Island,
for his wife. In the diary, the supreme
suffering of this man, imprisoned for, he
knew not what prosecuted by he knew
not whom, and his heroic courage i'm re-
fusing to die, are told with a painful in
tensity impossible In anything but a YER
liable human document. The whole story
reads like chapter from the Secret Rec
ords of the Middle Ages. That such an ex-
perience as that recorded in Dreyfus'
Own Story. was possible in the nineteenth
century, Is one of the most terrible
proofs we have of the incompIeteness of
our civilization. Elizabth Stuart Phelps
has never written with more depth Of feel

life beyond this world, than In her new
