friends daily came in conAct and con- tains also Illuminating personal letters. Many other friends of the "Old Familiar Faces" are the figures that walk and talk and live again in the pages Of this re- markable record of unusual friendships.
 In the chapter "Vagrant Comrades from which a quotation Is taken the reader will gather an idea as to the style of the book and also the opinion held by MT. Winter regarding Mir w. D. How els:
 Speaking of the gathering of "Bohem- ians'' in New York, Mir. Winter goes on to say:
 "On another such occasion MT. w D. Howells, now the voluminous and celebrated novelist-he whose effulgent criticism has, to the consternation of stars of Scott and Thackeray-came into the cave, especially, as afterward was divulged, for the purpose of ador- ing the illustrious Whitman. MT. Howells, at that time, was a respecta- ble youth, in black raiment, who had just entered on the path to glory, while Whitman. by reason of that odoriferous classic, the Leaves of Grass, was in possession of the local Parnassus. The meeting of course was impressive. Walt, at that time, af-
  jacket-making no secret of his brawny anatomy-and his hirsute chest and complacent visage were, as usual, on liberal exhibition and he tippled a lit- tie brandy and water and received his admirers homage with characteristic benignity. There. Is nothing like genius-unless possibly 1t may be leather.
 q have seen a singular reference to that momentous occasion. written and published in later years by the re- nowned MT. Howells.
 "'At one moment of the orgy so runs the reference, which went but slowly for an orgy, we were joined by some belated Bohemians. whom the others made a great clamor over. was given to understand they were just recovered from a fearful debauch i; their locks were still damp from the towels used to restore them and their eyes were very frenzied. l was pre- sented to those types, who neither said or did anything worthy of their awful appearance but dropped into seats at the table and ate of the supper with an appetite that seemed poor. I stayed, hoping vainly for worse things, until II o'clock and then I rose and took my leave of a literary condition that had distinctly disappointed me.
 Now MT. Winter says as to MT. Howells' impressions: The fine fancy and fertile invention that have made MT. Howel1s everywhere 1llustrious were never better exemplified than in these remarkable words; for. as mat ter of fact, no such incident occurred, either then or at any other time, nor did the great novelist ever see them except in his minds eye Fancy Is both a wonderful faculty for a writer of fiction and a sweet boon for the reader of it."
 A well selected library would hardly be complete without copy or Otd Friends" by MT. William Winter. The charm Is that we know from the read ing, of the most pleasing volume, the people discussed simply as they were. without any trimmings.

"Old Friends" Literary Recollections of Other Days, by William Winter. (Mof- fat. Yard & Col


 Other Days, by William Winter. (Mof- fat Yard & Co.)
 This Is a book of great interest, con- stituting the literary "reminiscences of MT. William Winter, for years and years dramatic critic of the New York Tribune. The book is interesting instructive and most pleasing in many ways, but partic- ularly so because MT. Winter Is without much doubt the last important survivor of the richest period in American liter ature, for many years influential and dis tinguished in tho field of prose letters and today representative living poet of America
 The book, fully illustrated, consists of il chapters, in which are described as MT. Winter personally knew them, Henry w. Longfellow, Bohemian Days in New York and Boston, Vagrant Comrades, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Bayard Taylor, Charles Dick ems. Wilkie Collins, George William Cur tis.

MAN AND THE COAT.
A Rigid Summer Requirement That Is
 lndefenslbIe.

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal
 The present hot wave causes many to
 walk the streets coatless Usually the coatless man carries his coat upon his arm. It is rare that one has the cour- age of his convictions to such a degree that he is willing to risk criticism by ap-
 bearing without the uncomfortable gar ment which the fashions of the country and the period decree. When the shirt
 waist" man ventured timidly into the marts a few summers ago he was ruth lessly damned by relentless women-no-
 tably women of one txpe-who persisted
 in regarding coatlessness as an affront to
 their dignity He shrunk timidly back into the steamy inside of his padded up-
 per garment to swelter and repent his
 rashness. His country has been called
 "shirt-sleeve'' land for 8 century or so
 and the land of the free, but he did not
 find 1t so. The rule that he must wear
 coat Is as rigid and unreasonable as
 the Briton's rule that he must dress for
 dinner in any and all circumstances and
 in any and all attitudes and In any and
 all company, although he may breakfast
 in his pajamas in the tropics if he likes,
 and although he does do so without a
 qualm of modesty in the presence of un- offended womenfolk.
 The problem of how to keep approxi-
 mately cool in hot weather in this cli-
 mate has never been solved. It has been
 very nearly. If not quite, as warm In
 Louisville as 1t is in Havana, in Manila
 or Calcutta It has been assuredly as
 warm as 1t Is in Singapore. It has been
 much warmer than 1t is in Honolulu. If
 1t has not been as hot as 1t is in Rang
 oon, or even in Alden. 1t has been very nearly as warm. Yet throughout the tropics the coolest white is worn habit ually In the temperate zone. in an equal and sometimes higher temperature, dur ing the hot months woolen coats lined and more or less heavily upholstered about the shoulders are the rule. The linen suit is the exception-so much an exception that 1t attracts attention. The thin white drilling of the tropics Is un- known It Is because we do not dress to suit the temperature that an excessively warm day in the temperate zone often entails more suffering than the warmest day in the tropics. It is not at all unus- ual to hear a new arrival from the canal zone declare that he never sunered so much from the heat as 1t home In the United States. The resident Of the tenn perate zone who yists the tropics for the first time, is almost invariably surprised to find the days not much warmer than he has experienced at home and the nights perhaps cooler.
 Since men are estopped by the women from casting aside their coats during the hot weather there should be more gen. | eral appreciation of the relief anorded | by a change to suitable clothing. FOSSIL bly the prices charged for washing wash able suits of clothes account in part for

The Baby.
From rJi1dOa

From Judge
 A baby Is young child. It is usually spoken of as "cute" or cunning" It cannot see nor hear, but what 1t lacks in other senses it makes up in a sense of humor.
 Its sense of humor takes a practical turn which is not relished by the old folks. One of its jokes Is to let out howl in the night as though 1t were rying, and then be sound asleep when you have sprung out of the middle of sleep and dashed up to its cradle; only to howl again as you hit the pill

low, and to be asleep again as you bend lovingly or willy-nilly over the cradle.
 The baby considers 1t a good joke to be deathly sick, have you send for a doctor, and then be as healthy as a doughnut when the doctor arrives.
 Babies are usually named for some one, like rich relative or Dutch uncle. This is where the old folks get even, as this Is mostly joke on the baby.

Then 1t is carried upon his arm in the street.

Ezekiel" by Lucy Pratt. Doubleday.
 Page & Co.)
 On the paper cover around the book, Ezekiel" staring one in the face, not only is the picture of the little negro "zeke.n but the statement that he says: "Ev'rybody where has sense should read dis book. Co'se ef he ain got no sense. I s'pose't ain gwine do no good anyway, but eff he has, wy read it."
 Zeke was a little negro who lived around about the Hampton institute where Book CT Washington caine from. A northern woman, becoming interested in Zeke, de- cides to send him to school.
 Miss Lane "a maiden lady" of course, Zeke simply took the place of dog, cat parrot or even goldhsh-carries her charge to the school operated by Miss North from the North"
 A southerner can in reading this book manage to get that far into the volume without serious injury or even discom- fort, After 1t becomes all Ezekiel, which it does pretty quickly, the book is a bore.
 Amendment No. 1. That the book would not be bore to any one who never came into contact with real negro children and thought of them as do good church people about the heather "born under Syrian s1ies.'
 Amendment No. ?. If you care for smart-aleck-ness in a negro or any other kind of youngster, Ezekiel will please.
 Readers of magazines will recall when not so very long ago Miss Lucy Pratt hit this pay dirt in the shape of Zeke and his back talk. impertinences and all that sort of thing that we don't permit in the south from white or black children. This reviewer feared the worst, all the time hoping for the best that there wouldn't be book about zeke, but alas and alaek, it came all right.
 Some people, no doubt, would like to read of "Ezekiels" opinions on this and that subject drawn out to surely against-the-law extent. But this re- viewer didn't.
