THE LEONlNE DUMAS.



Literary Idol.
One evening In the beginning Of June
l was taken to the residence of Dumas,
on the Boulevard Malesherbes. by ar
intimate friend Of the great novelist.
AS one thinks OF Hon, with his shay
Ky name full Of the jungle burs Of ad
venture, so | can see the author of
"Monte-C hristo" as he appeared on that
memorable evening. Standing about
were omen friends. actresses, writer's
poets. attracted by world of romance
symbolized In the figure seated in the
middle Of the salon. l was instantly
impressed with two things-the fres-
Goes on the walls and the attitude OF
the host. He sat like silent oracle,
surrounded by crowd of female adj
mirers, the whole company set off by
panels representing life sized figures
from Goethes great drama-Faust,
Mephistopheles, Marguerite. There were
no other pictures In the room. The in
fiuence of these figures, the attitude of
Dumas and his worshipers, concentrat-
ed the mind on the qulntessential ele-
ment OF romance Half indifferent he
sat, as some handsome young woman
would stroke his head while another
would place her hand on his shoulder,
as they might have done with An old
lion long tanned and without teeth.
There was nothing to distract the mind
from the harmony of idea and person
ality--the company of women might
have been part of the frescoes ana
Dumas the creator of Faust instead
Of "Monte-C hristo." There was an en-
chanted element about the people and
the room.
The whole company conversed among
themselves, standing as If they were
at court, while the host sat still and
unused. l was held by the mystery,
the fasclna ton of the romantic atmos-
phere the peculiar spell of the huge
mass that filled the fauteuil like an
idol of adamant For there was some
thing Of the idol about the man. !

ting posture, corpulent at the base,
crisp at the top. The lower part of the
face was of porcine dimensions, the
skin swarthy the hair curly, the ex-
preston of the eyes calm and sphinx
like. He was man who not only had
invented life, but had seen it.-Critic.

Some emphasis Of the work OF the reci-

an explanation Of the work and suggestions
Of It's advantages and how to embrace
them, being the preferred plan. 1t was
decided that the social session be postponed
until the last, that it might not interfere
with the work OF the convention. II Is to
be hoped that similar caution will be ex-
ercised to prevent the over-emphasis Of
other features, programs and the like, that
in spite OF previous experience, are an
nually allowed to crowd the business ses-
sions and that. with their acknowledged
over long or too numerous papers, occupy
time that might be much more probably
devoted even to receptions and teas, for
such programs are an injustice t. ia con-
ceTned.
