Some septctnber Stories.

Ihere used to be society game which
may, for aught We know, be still played
sometimes in remote parts, where an out
line OF plot was agreed upon and the par
tioipants improylsed their parts In little
comedy. II was faraway survival Of the
early days OF the drama and the Italian
comedy with Scaramouch and Pantaloon
and Columbine and the rest It 10 on that

thoroughly conventional plot Is developed
In The Affair at the Inn Houghton
Mihin d co.,. The four characters who
appear are assigned to four different au-
thors, each OF whom tells his or her part
OF the story. The lively American young
person falls to the share OF Mrs. Kate
Douglas Wiggin, the British Baronet to
MIR. Allan McAulay, the comic old woman
and the sentimental elderly spinster to
Mary and Jane Helen Fipdlater. An auto
mobile brings the piece up to date. The
love business that makes up the story Is

short story to volume Ia exousable. 1t Is
evidently a book for summer reading, so
that its publication now seems little be-
