| Those who have had the pleasure of
| beng guests of Enos A Mills at his
Longs Peak Inn, Estes Park. Colorado,
may have heard him relate some of
his adventures in the wild and fascin-
ating Colorado Rockies. Perhaps they
/ have heard him tell how he once es-
capped death from an avalanche by rae
ing ahead of it on skis down a long
valley, leaping chasms feeling the
wind of the coming mass behind him,
straining every nerve, and at last DASH
ing into q small lateral valley in the
nick of time as the roaring avalanche
swept on its way, laden with great up
rooted pines. This story now forms
chapter in his new book. 1.-THE Spell of
the Rockies" just published by
Houghton Mifflin Co. Mr. Mills is
widely known as a lecturer on forest
conservation and as the author of
previous book entitled wild Life on
the Rockies He has spent most of
his life in the mountains and few men
with the exception of John Muir, can
surpass him in translating their spell
into literature Mr.. Mills is now max

What has been called the famous ham
and-egg story about the novelist Mere
dfth is told in new version by Ford
MADDOX Aueffer in his book about the
-Raphaelites and other Victorian
notables called Memories and impress
sions.' The story has to do with Mere
dith's stay in the household at Cheyne
Walk with d. G. Rossetti, William ROs-
setti, and Swinburne. AS usually related,
says Mr. Hueffer, this story Seems to
put Mr.. Meredith in the somewhat
ridiculous position of being unable to face
the spectacle of ham and eggs upon ROS-
setti's breakfast table. Mr.. MeTedith
himself altogether denied the ham-and-
egg story, pointing out that his version of
the affair would be that. during stay of
indefinite period in the household at
Cheyne Walk he had observed with
alarm Rossetti's habit of consuming large
quantities of meat and neglecting alto
gether to take exercise" But Mr. Hueff-
er's grandfather Ford MADDOX Brown, told
another tale. This was to the effect that
Meredith, being in circumstances of eS-
IRENE poverty. was unable to join in the
household expenses and never appeared |
at table The others used to send up |
dishes to his room, which probably dis |
turbed his pride. 1.-THE end came one day |
when the benevolent poets substituted for |
