Notes.
Mrs. Nave c. Tinker. of the Ladies'
Concert company, was for several
years engaged in newspaper and lit
erary work, having been a member
Of the staff Of 1.-The Economist for
Il time. and associated with its edi
tor. Will Payne, the we'll known writ
er Of fiction and on sociological topics,
Mrs. Tinker having a wide acquaint-
ance among literary people as well as

Edmund Vance Cook is, perhaps,
one of the best known American verse
writers now before the public. his
poems appearing i'll all the leading
publications, notably The Saturday
Evening Post and Golfers. to cite
two weekly journals, as well as in
all the leading periodicals. He is
generally ranked with that class of
humorists in which Eugene Field,
Riley, AIDE, and other humorous writ
ers of prose and verse are included,
and as an impersonator is not far be-
hind Riley, who probably is the great
est contempor aneous unstaged come
dian. Although publishers will tell
you that volumes of poetry are a drug
on the market, and never more so than
at the present time Mr.. Cook books
of verse are we'll and widely konwn
and regarded as an excellent risk by
leading publishing houses. He has so
far published, Impertinent Poems, -
| Forbes & Co.. of Boston: Grimes to
Be Read; - "Patch of Pansies,'' Put
nam s; and a volume of child verses
now in press, to be entitled, "Chron-
| icles of the Little Tot many of
which have appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post. This is in press and
will be brought out by the Dodge Pub
fishing company, Of New York, some
time within the year.
Mr.. Cook said to Palladium rep
resentative last evening that he had
never appeared before a more refined
and interesting audience than that
last evening, and that the managers
of the Chautauqua should be con-
graduated upon the high character of
the personnel of the attenders as seen
from the platform, and Mr.. Cook also
added impressively that this was emo
jolly,' stating that he frowned fierce
ly upon all forms of fattery, but low
ed the truth.
Mrs. Timothy Harrison, of Kokomo,
who is visiting her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Allen Jay, of West Richmond, is
attending the sessions of the Chau-
tauqua.
Mrs. Horace Burr, of Newcastle,
| who is the guest of her parents, Rev.
and Mrs. Pierce, and who has attend
ed the Chautauqua this week, is one
Of the rising dramatic readers of the
day. Although but a recent recruit to
the platform Mrs Burr, has been
! highly successful, her histrionic pos
sibilities being at present without
| limit. and her dramatic instinct never
permitting her to 60 without the
bounds of art. Mrs. Burr is specially
happy in the presentation of child
| life but she has a comprehensive
range and bids fair to become one of
the leading opponents of this form of
dramatic entertainments now before
the public.
One Of the most hospitable parties
is that in the Cambridge City Tent.
