J. J. Bells latest creation, Mrs. MLerie,
who gives title to his new book, should
become quickly a popular and much
quoted character. Mrs. NJ Lerie is Incl ned
to be laxative. So is her neighbor and
daily visitor, Mrs. Munro. But Mrs.
NJ Lerie's talk, while not deep, makes en-
joyable reading; and her constant and
quaint twisting of phrases familiar and
unfamiliar keeps one smiling. Mrs. Nun
ro's corrections are well meant, but, hap
PLY for the reader of Mrs. MLerie,
without effect. AS instance;

book opens with a letter from St.
Petersburg in which a young American
named Harper G. Denver tells how he
had met the czar when his majesty
saved his life at a boar hunt and the
reader is given to understand that he
is on terms of the greatest intimacy
with the ruler of all the Russias. This
impression is strengthened when it is
told how tie car proposes to have his
young American friend impersonate
him to circunvent d scheming villain
named Boreski who wants to marry a
member of the cars family. This
has somewhat the flavor of the "Pris-

MRS. BOWsER'S STORY.

The other afternoon a messenger boy
brought our cook a telegram to the eff
feet that her sister, living ten miles
away, was very i'll and wanted to see
her at once. She was ready to leave
in half an hour, and took hold of the
work and had a good dinner awaiting
Mr.. BoWSer when he reached home. He
entered the house in a pleasant mood,
but no sooner had I broken the news
to him about the cook than he said:

other kick-up. By John, but can't you
keep a girl Is minutes without row?''

heard him say:

Glimpses of the Great Writer Through
Hia Personal Letters.

Interesting glimpses of the great Eng

Bakers introduction to William M

bers OF her family. now running in The
Century under title of ThackeraV s
Friendship with an American Family
The following incident is quoted from
Miss Bakers story of how the friend
ship between the English writer and
the American family began and grew
When the return from Boston was
at hand my mother suggested to the
younger members of the family that,
should Mr.. Thackeray appear during
the day at Brown House, it were best
not to ask him to dine.
Il have not just such dinner as L
like to give him. she said.
Whatever was the deficiency, my
mother had to overlook it, as the sequeI
proved. AS she stood in the dining
room Just before the dinner hour, CIV
ing some orders to the maid, a summons
came from the front door. After 1t was
openel. steps were heard coming stead
lily through the hall to the dining room
AS my mother turned in surprise to see
who could be coming at so late an
hour. there in the doorway stood the
tall figure with kind eyes and silvery
hair which had become SO familiar to

That's probably the reason why two
of them said you made goo-goo eyes

Woman, do you know what you are
saying?"
ssThen by the great horn spoon, but
I feel like boxing your earsl I make
goo-goo eyes at your cook! I try to
fiirt with her! IL"
BE calm, Mr.. Bowser. There is no
need of any quarrel over this thing.
I made up my mind that you would
come home to talk just as you have
done and I determined on my course
