MonteSonion- EexenSac.

Count Robert de Montesquou-F eEensac, the
French poet and litterateur, has arrived in New
York from Paris,
The count has come over TO give series Of
conferences on art and literary subjects under the
management OF Miss Elizabeth Marbury. He
will give these first in New York, and afterward
probably in other cities. He will also lecture by
arrangement on special literary topics, such as
Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Verlane, etc
The first of his conferences in New York will
be given at sherrys on February s, at o'clock,
when his subject will be lie Mystere." The
remaining conferences will follow on the after

The personality of the count is interesting, as
is also his life history. He belongs to ono of
the oldest and most illustrlous families in France,
being descended from that famous house Of
Armagnac from which so many men distin-
guished in the church, the army and diplomacy
have sprung. He is the owner of many his
torioal homes, notably the Chateau d'Artsgnau,
in the Pyreuees, a gift from Louis NV to his
great ancestor, d'Artagnan, and the Chateau de
Bonneya once the residence of Clovis His
Paris home is at No So Rue de L'Universite, the
house where Lanartine lived and died
The count also owns the chateau de Courten-
vaux the Pavilion de Montesquieu at Versailles,
and finally the Pavilion des MUSES. at Neuilly.
In this last villa the count passes most OF his
time. It was built suburban hunting lodge,
in the reign Of Louis XVI and is surrounded By
beautiful grounds.
Auatole France has called the count lie
Fiancc de l'Ideal." lie is a tall and slender
man, OF about forty, with high forehead black
hair and mustache and expressive eyes His
conversational powers are remarkable lie talks
quickly and huently and expresses himself in
poetic phrases lie is very much in earnest, and
when talking in particular any art or literary
topic, wakes eloquent.
He is unmarried For twenty years he has
followed his literary career as the disciple OF
Ronsard, Racine, Alfred dc Vigny and Victor
Hugo When his first volue OF poems, les
Chauvevs Souris," was published he was hailed
as new force in the literary world of France.
and his second book Les Hortcnsius Blcus
was at once successful His last and recently
published volume of poems, "Prieres de Tous,
is full of the prayers of the elements, Of plants,
of animals, Of workers and dreamers.

London Literary WeqUs.

One Of the most interesting literary notes Of
the week is that the happy idea Of collecting into
a volume all the written by Charles Dick
ems has been conceived by well known Dickeuo
student and admrer, Mr. +, g. Kirton,
Hitherto these fragments have been scattered
about in hundred places. Much of the material
has not been available at all. There are, for ex-
ample, the comic satirical poems which Dickens
contributed TO the Examiner and the political
verse he contributed TO the Daily News when he
was editor Of that journal. The volume will also
contain lyrics from his opera The Village Co
quotes" and his prologue to Wilkie Collins the
atrieal piece THE Frozen Deep" in which Dick
ems himself played leading character. The
book will be published in dainty form by the
firm so eminently associated with Dickens, Messrs
Chapman.
Mr. Sidney Lee leaves England for the United
States to give the lectures which he has been in
vited to deliver on Great Englishmen of the
Sixteenth Century" at the Lowell institute, Bos-
ton, and other places.
Mr.. Egcrton Castle who Is now rcckoned one
Of Ensland's foremost writers of romance and
who usually collaborates with Mrs. Castle will
publish in the spring a novel which is at pres
cnt running serially, called THE O. of Com
fort" but in the book form will be rechrstened
The Star Dreamer" Mr.. and Mrs Castle have
also completed a romance entitled The lncom-
parable Bellairs,' which deals with sundry cpl
sodes, in the life OF a lively little widow who
was the prncipal inquire m bath comedy
by the same authors. In addition they at
work upon a new novel Of modern life Of ro-
mantle cast which is to be called The Rose Of
the World" Mr.. Egerton Castle, who is one
Of the busiest Of men. has still another book on
the stocks. This will be collection of rather
long short stories, to which no name has ye,
been assigned
Collaboration by husband and wife Is rare and
interesting. Mr.. and Mrs. Castle plan out their
work together, talk it over thoroughly and finally
write it in unison, so it is almost impossible in
the end to decide with whom any particular idea
originally started The authors never write OF
places or people they do not know famiiarly Mr.
Castle states that he never begins to write ro-
nance until it has become complete In his mind
as discussed and elaborated with his wife for a
very long time
1t is only when both character and incident and
the reciprocal influence Of one on the other have
become familiar that the story is begun. After
that writing goes fast enough al average rate
Of 1000 words a day, the writing being done NJ
the morning and the revising at odd moments OF
the day. Thus long novel will be written ~
three months, but Of course tha period from ~
conception Il much longer, generally year or
more.

Secret OF "Tfe Va71pire''

The secret Of The Vampire" the gLoulish pic
ture OF Sir Philip Burne- Zones, immortalized by
Rudyard Kipling, in his rag and bone and
hank OF hair poem, was revealed by the artist
this morning. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the actress,
did not pose the model for the creature who is
taking the life blood from the lover The model
was woman Of Brussels who was paid for pos
ing. II want to lay the ghost of that story
forever, said the painter as he nervousy paced
the corridors OF the Art nstitute. The story
never originated with me, and do not know even
how it did originate. | should like to stop it
forever. The fact is, that the picture was started
by me while ! was in Brussels. ! made the study

poet seems TO have caught the very idea / had

as "a jolly good fellow, and delightful man in
every way" At the present time he says, Mr..

The balance of the collection will consist Of a
portrait of Rudyard Kipling; a portrait OF the
English playwright, Lewis Parker a portrait
of lady. painted in New York and several land
scapes He will also exhibit the famous I'm
painted Masterpiece, the subject OF WHICH was
suggested by Henry James story. It is supposed
TO be the work Of an artist who never had the
courage to paint a picture until his career ended,
although his soul was filled with beautiful images.
At last the picture he had dreamed and thought
of was finished. One day strangers broke into
the artists studio. They found him dead before
the picture-starved to death. Someone laugh
ingly asked Sir Philip who was the greatest En-
glish painter of the day, outside of himself.
Thank you for the implied compliment"
laughed the painter in return, but the question
is too big one 1t is a matter of tempcra-
ment-of dosyncrasy, ii you like. II you ask
one man he will name a painter whose work
appeals to his nature But it is not till man
has been dead many years that you can say his
work was really great" Tonight Sir Philip will
be the guest of Mrs. Arthur Cation During the
day he will try to get into his soul some of the
artistic atmosphere Of Chicago, which he Is pre-
pared to assert has much greater possibilities than
prosy New York.-ChicGgo Jo"rnoL

The Grass.
BY EMILY DICKINSON.

BY EMILY DICKINSON.
The grass so little has to do
A sphere of simple green,
with only butterflies to brood
And bees TO entertain.
And stir all day to pretty tunes
The breezes fetch along,
And hold the sunshine in its lap
And bow TO everything
And thread the dews all night, like pearls,
And make itself so fine
A duchess were too common
For such a noticing
And even when it dies, to pass
In odors so divine,
As lowly spices gone to sleep,
Or amulets Of pine.
And then to dwell In sovereign barns,
And dream the days away
The grass so little has to do,
