A Good Book for Boys.

The stories Mr.. Arthur Stanwood Pier
has grouped together in 'Boys Of ST..
T1mothys' are extremely good. The su.
thor has managed to catch the tom Brown
spirit, to modernize 1t and to eliminate
some OF the less desirable traits Of the tales
Of which Tom Hughes's book is the type.
It is inevitable that placing the scene In an
Episcopal boarding school should awaken
comparison with British school stories,
and the succession OF games as the frame
work Of the tales makes the book as whole
seem somewhat mechanical. But each
story by itself has any amount OF go and
swing; football, rowing hockey, running,
tennis are described wildly, the gospel OF a
strenuous life Is preached vigorously and
the ethical side Of boys proper humanity
to boy is pointed out with the utmost clear
ness.
We wish we knew such noble boys and
such model schools In real life, but in fc-
ton It does no harm to set up an ideal that
may be bit above the clouds. For boys,
especially, 1t may be as well to show that
school life may be as exciting as burglary
or the slaughter OF Indians. or even the de-
velopment OF abnormal powers Of detection.
Mr.. Pier has already shown much clever
ness in dealing with his college expert
ences. In these stories he shows even
greater cleverness. We hope his study Of
what Is essential In the tales OF the past.
and his ability to reproduce this wildly,
will not keep him from letting himself out
some time. for his talent seems to be genu-

SCOTCH people. In appearance, Lady Ma
pier was fair and distinctly q patrician.
She was, perhaps, 30 years Of age when
she began her two years residence In this
country. In her time the British legation
was conspicuous for complete absence
Of ostentation, and, at the same time, for
generous hospitality. The equipages OF
the Napiers were OF the handsomest, but
never snowy. Lady Napier's avoidance
OF display extended to her dress, which
was OF the quietest, except when some
public function demanded more elaborate
preparation. On such occasions, her laces'
which were heirlooms, were called into
requisition, and couture and coreage
blazed with diamonds and emeralds. Lord
Napier was fond OF music, and our author
recalls q dinner given at the legation to
Miss Emily sohaumberg Of Philadelphia,
after which that young lady's singing reused
the host to great enthusiasm.
At the home Of the Napiers, one frequently
met Mr.. Bayard, between whom and the
English Minister there existed close In
timacy. When Mrs. Clay visited England
In 1885, she had signal testimony to Lord
Napiers unextinguished regard for the
Delaware statesman. During my stay In
London, the former Minister constituted
himself cicerone TO our party and, upon
one memorable aftert1DDn, he insisted upon
drinking O toast with us oh, no, de-

Upon my return to America, had the
pleasure Of shouting to Mr. Bayard, then
Secretary OF State, a recital Of this tribute.
He had now grown very deaf. but my story
reached him at last, and he smiled In
most happy way as he asked, almost shyly,
but with warm glance in the eye, despite
his effort to remain composed. Did Napier

In q chapter headed sFashions OF the
Fifdes,' our author says that, while a
life-and-death struggle ragged between
political parties, and oratorical battles Of
ominous import were fought daily at the
Capitol, there was great deal Of what at
that time was deemed lavish expenditure in
social circles Mrs. Toombs, whose mode Of
enter tanning was comparatively quiet, and
who had but one daughter. told Mrs. Clay
that they spent q. 800 month, or 81 900 per
annum. The fashions OF the times are
described as graceful and picturesque.
In the middle sos the beauties of the
capital wore their hair Ia Greequs, with
howers wreathed over 1t, and simple golden
dagger or arrow 10 secure 1t. Jewels were CON-
spicuous also in the attire Of men: there
were few gentlemen who did not wear
sparkling studs and oravat pins. Their
vari-colored waistcoats were not infre-
auentIy OF satin and velvet, brocaded and
embroidered. The evening tie would be Of
bright soft silk and Of ample proportions.
We are told that when the Clays went to
Washin gton in 1853 there we're not more
than four men In the United States Senate
who wore mustaohes, Side and chin
whiskers were sometimes worn, but the
front OF the chin was seldom covered.
Many OF the most distin guished statesmen
had their faces % smoothly shaven as had
the Romans Of old. Until late In the sos
men, particularly legislators, wore their
hair rather long.

capital At the outset Of the Buchanan Ad-
ministration. our author says that no Minis

Washingtonians than did these delightful

Mrs. Clay recalls that In 1854, and in
the succeeding spring, there was great
DIAL Of gayety at the Federal capital,
notwithstanding an air Of gravity and
reserve that was pcroeptible in the
White House. 1t did not, even then, she
says, require the insight Of keen observer
TO detect In social as In political gatherings
IN ever widening division between the
Northern and Southern elements brought
together In Washington. During the first
half Of the Pierce administration, how

life was peaceful, even smiling. The

voted for him with Q close approach to

personally he was as discriminating and

could desire; but gradually the repre-

yielded to an instinct Of repulsion. and

wives Of some Of the Northern and Southern
Senators. and formal calls were paid on
