Jean de Reszke 10 Sell His Racing Stable
Van Dyck In Paris.

Jean de Reszke's racing stable Is for sale.
He has no desire to get rid OF it at once but
will sell when good opportunity offers.
He has not been SO successful during the last
year or two as he was in the past and his
earnings In his profession, while they are
still ample, are not half what they were dur

his fortune was made.

Paris. where his wife's mother built beau

that he will sing at the Paris Opera for as
many more years to come as he may choose

opera a condition of his appearances this
winter. He is said by all who have heard
him to bc singing as well this year as he
ever did
For twenty-seven years he has been on
the stage, and the marvellous preservation
OF his voice is due TO his consummate art in
singing He may return here next season,
although nothing definite on that point has
been settled.

Miles off from where you were

ever heard; miles of from the Old
fashioned mother-she who loved
us all and said she wished there

good old mother, who sang as the
kitten played with the yarn on the
floor. o, how she sang!-songs
in which all pity and compassion
and sympathetic influences were
combined. Her songs would not
do for the parlor or concert room
nowadays. Her voice was feeble
and wavering like fountain ready
to fall but then how weet-toned il
was, and it became deeper and
stronger, but it could not grow

What words unsay, what deeds

The publishers of THE Right Of
Way" have received many letters in
curing why Mr.. Parker did not call
his novel Beauty Steele" or by some
title other than the one he eventually
decided upon. In reading the book, one
wonders for many pages about the
why and wherefore of the title, but
isn't this an additional charm of the
story, this threatening of the problem,
this questioning of the significance of
a poignantly beautiful love story?
Eventually, the reader reaches this
meaning, and on page 312. as the drama
draws nearer its close, occurs in these
brief words the only mention of the
title: Kathleen has the right of way,
not Rosalie"-Kathleen, the former
wife, not ROsalie, the loving and the
beloved of the anguish-stricken

there been so great demand for the
Alcott books as during the present sea-

edition of Little Men," with fifteen
full-page pictures by Reginald B. Birch
was issued and extensively advertised
undoubtedly stimulated the sale of the
Alcott books. although the demand is
always large during the holidays. 1t
is interesting to note that one of the
