The Dean of French Letters.

"Tales'
 Jules Ciaretie. the author of the remark able novel T and the Other" published in the January issue of Tales. is one of the foremost figures in the intellectual life of Paris. Not only is he the author of a long list of novel and plays. critical studies and historical works. which have been coming from his pen in an incessant stream for more than forty years. but during half that pe- riod he has wielded tremendous influence in French literature as director of the Theatre Francais. The Francais is the Olympus to which all French playwrights aspire. and Clareties power there has ben greater than that of any of his predecessors through the abolition of the Reading Committee during his administration, thus throwing upon his shoulders alone the responsibility of judging what plays shall and what shall not be shown in the "House of Moliere.
 Jules Claretie was born in Limoges in lS40. but he received his education at the Bona parte Lyceum in Paris and that city has been his home ever since. At the outset of his career he determined on literature as his profession. and his debut was made in newspaper work. At the early age of tract the favorable attention of George Sand with a novel. "Peirrille;" but he did not forsake journalism. and in 1866 he went to Italy as war correspondent in the campaign against Austria. and in 1870 sue ceeded Francisque Sarcey as dramatic crtt- ic of Le Figaro. When the war with Ger many broke out he followed the French army to Metz acting correspondent for Le RapDel. RIilustration and other French papers. and he served with the National Guard during the siege of Paris, taking part in nearly all the engagements that took place under the walls.
 After peace was restored claretie return ed to his iournalisitic and literary work. which is now represented by more than for ty volumes of novels. plays. causeries and historical works Of the first. among the best known are "Brichanteau. Actor" "The Crime of the Boulevard" His Excellency. the Minister" 'Vicomte de Puyiole." and Prince zilah" His "Moiiere. His Life and Works" is a monument of classic criticism. and his History of the Revolution" and Camille Desmoulins and the Dantonists'' are standard works of history. In addition to the distinction conferred upon him in 1885 by his appointment as director of the Comedie-Francaise, his position in the French world of letters has received recog- milton in the form of many public honors among others Commandant of the Legion of Honor, Honorary President of the Socie- ty of Men of Letters and member of the French Academy.

 Otto Julius Bierbaum is a prominent fig ure in the so-ealled "Munich School" which represents one of the most vital movements in present-day literature. Bierbaum's achievements in poetry and fiction. which have brought him wide recognition. are built on an unusually broad foundation of prepar- atory study and discipline. Born in 1885 at Grunberg in Silesia (the province that three years earlier gave Hauptmann to Germany.) he attended the gymnasium at Leipzig and the University Of Zurich. LeipziE,. Munich and Berlin, devotins himself especially to philosophy and Jurisprudence. At the University of Berlin he even took course in Chinese with the object of preparing him self for the German consular service in the Orient. But in 1887 he began to contribute to The Vienna NeuA Freie Presse. with so much success that he was definitely won over to Journalism. In 1893 he removed from Munich to Berlin. where he was for a short time editor of the Freie Buhne. and in 1894 became the founder of Pan" an association for the furtherance of art culture. whose publication of the same name is widely known in the art world.

From the title-page with it's tall hoily-hocks with their pink blossoms and the curly headed little boy watering them which is certainly one of the best things ip the book--to the last little pen and ink drawing not forgetting the enchanting paper the inside of the covers. the book Is 8 continual pleasure to the eye. It is ex- tremely interesting to compare Miss smith s work with the drawings which Maxfield Parrish made for Eugene Fields Poems of Childhood" The treatment of the two artists is so different. so distinct. so origi- nal, and yet so successful in each case. Both seem to have caught the spirit of the verses they were illustrating and to have added the grace and charm of their own tempeTa- ment and personality to their interpretation in the most unusual and delightful way. It would be hard to find two more successful books.

 We were. walking down Wellington street, Strand, and just passing the of- flee of Household Works. when a hand some cab stopped and out stepped a gayly dressed gentleman. Ills bright green waistcoat, vivid scarlet tie and pale lavender trousers would have been noticed by any one, but the size of the nosegay in his buttonhole riveted my attention. for it was a regular flower green. My father stopped and intro duced me, and I. who had only seen engravings of the Maclise portrait and a very handsome head in my mothers photograph album, was astonished to find myself shaking hands with the great novelist, Charles Dickens.

 The Sumter Chapters Report.
 After resting during the heated months, we of the Sumter Chapter, D. D. C., resumed work on the first Fri day in last october. There was full Attendance and delightful meeting, during which we planned out work for the fall and winter. In November we gave a supper which was so entirely successfu, that it enabled us to make acceptable money donations at Thanks rivfag and Christmas to nine of our county's needy veterans.
 On January 5th, at its last regular monthly meeting. this Chapter voted s1O 10 our Alabama Soldiers Home, arranged to celebrate General Lees birthday with an appropriate program, received the report that the amount promised by our Chapter to the Shiloh monument fund had been forwarded and also the report that our member ship applications had been sent to the Divisions Registrar.
 After the regular order of business Is finished our meetings are turned over to the leadership of our Historian, Mrs Snrott, who gives us an enjoyable and instructive literary and historical hour Our members are, earnest and inter esteJ; we work harmoniously and each of us. remembering some dear one who was a Confederate soldier, is striving to do what she can.
 We should be delighted to contribute to all the many worthy causes which are nresented for our consideration, but. right here in our own county, we have some needy veterans who can not go to the Soldiers Home and, with us their claims take precedence. We feel that to help them is the duty that now lies nearest.
