 Edward Peple's charming novel, "The Prince Chap" published by the Putnams, will be produced in dramatic form, Sep tember 4, 1905, at the Madison Square theatre, New York. As matter of fact the play was written before the novel, and the book shows interesting traces of its dramatic origin. The production of book is, however, simpler matter than the production of a play. and the red-covered novel will be almost a year old when the curtain goes up on "The Prince Chap" as a play. Leading roles will be acted by Cyril Scott and George Riddle. and Etta Hawkins will take the part of Fuckers. the Irresistible soubrette ''The Prince Chap will be produced un- der the management of MT.

 Frederick s. Dellenbaugh, whose latest volume, Breaking the Wilderness" is in the Putnams 1905 catalogue, is an ann ateur architect as well as an author. At Cragsmoor, New York; where MT Dellenbaugh has his summer home, there is very attractive stone church built from his designs. He also drew the plans for the graceful and elaborate entrance gate to the Cragsmoor Inn. MT.

Mir. Long has also a novel under way and two or three of his short stories about to ap- pear in the magazines are said to be like ly to give rise to strenuous discussion. All the stories in "Heimweh," which The Macmillan Company are about to issue, breathe "the heavenly longing" Their laughter and tears and thrills alike have this same exquisite note.

What staggers me-" remarked one critic the other day, lis the suggestion of the possible disap- pearance of the sentimental from our lit- erature, hinted at in the many recent books like Herrick's."
 One of the first books which the Mac milan Company will publish in the Fall will be the revised and enlarged edition of Mrs. Roger A. Pryor's "Reminiscences of Peace and War" Since it's issue last autumn Mrs. Pryor's book has won in- creased praise; it is adjudged the cream of all recent civil war "reminiscences. Hardly another book of the last year has received such genuine and earnest ap- plause from critics of the United States and England Hundreds of letters from people who hSye read the book many of them prominent in the world of literature or of politics, attest the impression which the book has made on the finest minds.
