wholly undeserved. His grievance is that

unusual care to the technical training of
their civil servants, but do not appear to

affairs. In dealing with Java they have
ignored the higher moral questions and
make Dutch East Indies an important FAC

In Paris the topic of the moment Is the
new statue of Alfred dc Musset-the first
to be raised in the capital-which was I'M
yelled the other day. and which probably
not a few of this years American visitors
Will see in the place of honor that has been
given ii beside the Coincide Francois. But,
although the statue is admittedly one OF
the finest works of its kind in Paris, it is
the rather odd story of how 1t was executed
and that of an uncommonly pretty little
incident in connection with its faShionlng
that Parisians finding most interesting.
De Musset died IN 1857, worn out, at forty
seven, by a life of intermittent dissipation
seated on bench In a characteristic atti-
tude of detection, his head sunk upon his
breast. Above him is the muse in the form
of a beautiful girl who quotes to the poet
his own famous lines: Let us depart in
a kiss for unknown world"
Oddly enough. no less than three notable
people posed for different parts of this
statue at the request of Antonin Mercie,
the sculptor, who never saw his subject in
the flesh. These Were de MusSet'S sister,
Nine. Lardin de Musset. who sat for the
face; Albert Lambert, the actor who fur
mis- ed the beard and mustache, the era
vat and romantic cape, and Paul Escudier.
ex-president of the municipal council, who
proved to have just the figure" that Mer-
Gle wanted.
The romance of the statue, however has
muse. This young work girl, and
she took such an interest in the statue OF
de Musset that the sculptor gave her the
poets books to read. Having devoured them
she was more in love than ever with the
dead poet and every day. when she came
to pose. she brought a few flowers which
she placed on the pedestal of her poet. ;"
as she called him. But this is not all, for
since the completion of his statue the ar
fist has found out that the girl. who was
quite bewltchingly pretty. came TO him I'M
der an assumed name, and he has been
unable to trace her.
So this posthumous lover of Alfred de
Musset did not receive card for the unyeil-
ing of his statue. Among those who did.
however. at the express command OF the
French minister of fine arts, was the aged
Adele Collin, who kept house for and nursed
de Musset In his last years, and she was
one of the most noticed and interested peo-
pie at the ceremonies. 1t was said while
ago that Mile. Collin, who is over ninety,
intended to publish her "reminiscences of de
Musset. but nothing more has been heard
OF the plan.

Gossip About Authors
In London and Paris
LONDON, March :, 1919,

Guy Thorne. who wrote When 1t Was
Dark" keeps on getting free advertisement
in way that must be the envy of his fell
low novelists. 1t is said that over IT'S 600
copies of When 1t Was Dark Were Fold
in this country alone as the result of the
striking reference to that novel which was
made by the bishop of London In sermon
delivered at Westminster Abbey, and now
an even greater bit of good fortune has
fallen to the lucky Guy Thorne. For prac-
tically at the very moment that a new
novel from his pen is being announced as
ready" 1t has been decided by the Union
Society of Oxford that all of Thorne's
works that exist in the library of the IA
nous university shall be elected therefrom
and publicly burned.'
No reason for thus reviving an old time
method of showing adherence has yet
been assigned by the Oxford Union" The
explanation, however, probably lies in the
fact that Thorne crticises the Church of
England pretty freely both in his last book,
"A Lost Cause and his forthcoming one,
which has already been published in serial
form-and that oxford is one of the great
strongholds of establishment" 1t is
called.
The thing has made a small sensation
however, for most people supposed that the
practice of book burning had been done
away with forever-even at oxford. There
1t once fiourished exceedingly, especially in
revolution and reformation times, but from
1S49 to the present day no work has been
Moderated at the university. The last book
to be burned there, and the last to be
burned in England, was Froude's famous
Nemesis of Faith" According to an Off
cial statement published on March 9, 1S49
that work was publicly burned by the alI-
thorities in the College Hall" and so one
supposes that Guy Thorne's detested VOL
umes will be treated in the same fashion.
