The Christmas Criterion.

The holiday number Of this excellent
magazine isFreplete with good things The
place of honor is given to a short story
by John Uri Lloyd. 1t is the second num-
Der in a series of Sam Hill Stories," be-
ing THE Waited Wife of Sam Hill. Mr..
Lloyds reputation is too we'll established
to need further comment. Murat Ha.s.ead
contributes an article on "Recollections
of History Makers" being a story of the
two Shermans-Senator John Sherman
and General William T. Sherman Mr.
Halstead is eminent as a historian, and
this is an excellent piece of his work. A
Short poem entitled 1.-The Editor" con-
tributed by Ethel NJ. Kelley, is full of wit
and satire. "A Christmas Lily" by
Helen NJ. Winslow, is a touching little
story of Yuletide. "A Study of Southern
Cotton Mill Communities, by Leonora
Beck Ellis, is full of interest. The other
articles in this issue are all good but
space will not permit of including men
ton. Suffice to say all who receive the
Christmas number of The Criterion will
count themselves fortunate, indeed.

Sag Harbor' will also go South toward
the close of the present month, playing
Norfolk, Va, on New Years night. This
will be the first chance the South has had
to see play which has probably re-
ceived more praise at the hands of the
press, and that of an unqualified sort,
than any play that has been produced in
recent years. When William Archer, the
great London reviewer and critic came
over, there was no American play that
received warmer encOmiums from his pen
than did Sag Harbor" The intelligent
people of the South can rest assured that
the present interpreting company will be
found thoroughly satisfactory in every
detail George Woodward, who takes
the role of Capt Dean Marble, is one of
the best of American character actors,
and his succession to the part has in no
sense lcssened interest in the charming
Eastern coast idyl Charming Chrystal
Herne impersonates the character Of
Martha Reese, and the remainder of the
cast is made up very largely as it was in
the original production.

IN THE LITERARY WORLD.

THE TORY LOVER-By Sarah Orne
Jewett, with Illustrations, by Mr.
and Mrs. Charles H. Woodbury.
Published by Houghton, Miff1in & Co.,
Boston and New York. Cloth, $3.50.
In presenting 1.-THE Tory Lover"
Sarah Orne Jewett has entered the field
or historical fiction to beautiful purpose
and effect, for her story is full of STIR
ring incident and dramatic interest. The
book is a well constructed piece of work,
written in the talented authors best vein,
and possesses to a marked degree all of
her admirable style and her animating
sympathy.
The story opens in the old town of
Berwick, Me-, in the time of the revolu-
ton, and later changes to England and
France. Mistress Mary Hamilton, the
heroine of the story, induces her lover,
Roger Wallingford, who is tory by
tradition, to enlist his fortunes with those
OF Paul Jones, who is also in love with
the fair Mary. Jones learns of Walling-
ford's love for Mary, and begins to doubt
his loyalty to the American cause.
Roger, who has been really converted
to the cause of the patriot by his lady
love, is sincere in his expressions Of
tured by the English during the Rangers
attack upon Whitehaven, in England, and
is unwittingly placed in the attitude of
traitor to the American cause Up to
this time Mary Hamilton has not been
quite sure for her love for young WAL
llngford, but his capture reveals to her
the promptings of her heart, and she
loses no time in journeying to England,
Where the patriotism of Roger is made
patent to all.
The web which has enveloped the
young nero is torn away and everything
IS Strengthened out in an admirable
manner and to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
THE Tory Lover is more than read
able, and the ending is so natural and
SO pleasing that the reader lays down
the book only after determining to get
more of the writer's works

The issue that arose so unexpectedly
at Wallacks New York. as to whether
Otis Skinner or Kyrle Bellew was en-
titled to the December 30 booking at
that house, has been amicably adjusted,
and in favor of Mr. Bellew, and Mr..
Bellew will make his appearance at
Wallack's at the time previously stated,
December 30. The boards at Wailack's
should be familiar ones to Mr.. Bellew,
for it was there he won his earliest fame
in America, and it was fame and pop
ularity that does one good to recall for
as leading man in the famous old Wal
lack Stock company he was indeed the
idol of the hour. Mr. Bellew has re-
ceived no end Of praise for his splendid
work as CASTOR de Marsac in "A Gen

grounds for hope that he will be kindly
received in the great Eastern metrOpo-
