Lippincott Company.
The writing of detective stories - only
an occasional phase OF Miss wells $
many sided literary activity. she does IL
well enough, yet there can be little doubt
but that the writer of this kind OF nc
ton must be born, and can make HIM
self only up to a certain point, even as
its readers must be born, though Hhe
taste for 1t may be acquired, especially
by busy workers in serious walks Of Ire.
Miss Wells has trained her pen to sat
isfactory facility in the invention OF
mystery confusing clues and misleading
suspicious. She arranges the pieces OF
her puzzle according to the rules of the
game, she uses the Sherlock Holmes de-
ductive manner, with a twinkle in her
eye in the last chapter, which ingen-
iously brings US back 10 the first, but II
IS not likely that she will ever add TO
this voluminous department OF fiction
one of those rare stories that give it new
prominence, and add new recruits 10 the
body of its devoteCs. 1t might not be a
bad idea if some amateur, with plenty
of time on his hands. were TO compile
an international photography of dctec-
tive fiction.

Paris, March 1S.
Since the downfall Of the Second En-

coming tower of the "Gaulois," has OBJ
served and recorded day by day the
events and episodes of the life of Paris
He has written his souvenirs in an ex-
ceodingly interesting little book, now
published by Plon. with the title, "Ce
Que Mes Yeux Ont Va" c'What My Eyes
Have Seen'). Three veterans, each Of
whom had attained prominence in their
profession before the present republic
came into existence, stand forth head
and shoulders above all Others and form
a sort of glorious trinity in contempo
rary French journalism These men are
NJ Adren H6brard, who since 1871 has
been editor of the Temps; NJ. Henri
Rochefort founder of the "Lanterne" in
lSGS and whose daily Voltaian thunder
bolts are still as vivid as they were half
a century ago. and NJ. Arthur Meyer,
editor of the leading organ of the mon
archv and the Church. who may be de-
scribed as the Button Of modern French
newspaper men.

tributors half the members of the Acad-

Of mundane correction" both physi-
cally and intellectually, develops his
ideas in graceful language and lives up
to the famous maxim, The style Is the
man." The present book gives a series
Of snapshots of the features of French
political and social life from 1870 to 1911,
which have q light. incisvc. breezy,
picturesque concisencss. as if taken from
an acroplane The book is replete with
personal incidents. episodes and anec-

slumbered for three centu"ios). the Pan

and intclligently.
OF course tn reader must make due
allowances for NJ. Arthur Meyers

who wish to obtain a just notion Of
