Miss Daviess has been sorely perplexed
concerning the necessity of changing her
residence, since she has become success
full author. At the time of Melting of
Molly" appeared 1t seemed that the mi
grafton was necessary; but the author
could not bring herself to relinquish her
southern roofing. However,, constantly
increasing affiliation, her books, her mag
azine work, the working out of the dram
attzation of her novels, as well as her
close connection with various social, po-
litical and economic projects, have COM
bined to move her into a Gramercy Park
apartment Here, with the assistance Of
a white-capped NANNY she dispenses
mint juleps, fried chicken and other
southern dainties with a hospitable hand.
The apartment is delightful. with a wide
sweeping view over the East river and
the Battery, spacious and airy-to the
seasoned New Yorker's eye. But Miss
Daviess cannot get over her 'cramped
feeling

bedroom as big as the whole apartment,
and a house as big as the city block. So

about, and that is 80 big, outstretching
and fascinating. that I only fear I'll be-

things that won't have time to write
about"
Miss Daviess intends to keep "up to the
minute" in her themes. Herself an ardent
suffragist and feminist, she has given
vivid presentation of possible phase in

THE SOUI, OF MELICENT''
BY James Branch Cabell Illustrated in
color by Howard Pyle. Frederick A.
Stokes & Co.. publishers New York.
Not little dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed in certain Catholic circles over
the alleged impossibility Of any pope's
| ever securing his election TO the papacy
by such methods as are imputed by
Adrain VII in James Branch Cabell's ro-
nance, '"rhe Soul Of Melicent." Better
informed persons, however. recognize that
in this astounding episode Mr.. Cabell has
| simply recorded the actual circumstances
| surrounding the scandalous installation
! Of Pope Alexander VI In 1882, and has
transferred to his fictitious Cardinal de
Monitors the historically proven misdoings
of Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia.
Meanwhile It is interesting to note that
Cardinal Gibbons at least, the dean
, irreligious in ''The Soul of Melicent." and
has written to Mr., Cabell tho friendliest
Of letters concerning it.

Co.. publishers. Boston.
A brand new addition to "The Little
Cousins of the Long Ago Series" has
been added in the shape of Julia Darrow
Cowes' delightful book, Our Little
Athenian Cousin of Long Ago. which is
interesting from beginning to end.
The publication of THE Little Cousin

Cousins of Long Ago." giving the every
day child life of ancient times.
The new series will be accurate boil,
historically and in the description of the
everyday life of the time, as we'll as In

From an educational standpoint the au-

the same time storing it with useful and

'.rIE CORYSTON FAMILY"
BY Mrs. Humphrey Ward. Illustrated by
Elizabeth Shipper Green. Harper
Brothers, publishers. New York.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward weilds a master
pen in her pictures of life, drawing from
a wonderful imagination and converting
her ideas into living, breathing entities.
None Is more virile. more racile, OF
more versatile in style than this gifted
author, and she has written life itself in
her latest story.
The characters are all well delineated,
growing and expanding as the story I'M
folds, the. questions dividing them being
intensely modern, based on the econom-
les of the present time and carrying a
world Of weight in their wake.
About the three sons Of q conservative
old English family the narrative centers,
the infiexible mother IN black with her
ubiquitous lorgnette, dominating all about
her, but finally winning the reader !
sympathy when she becomes a worn,
pathetic, broken figure, at the last.
The most interesting character in the
book is the silent Lester whose per.
sonality evolutes like a rich. deep tone
back of the moving personalities in the
foreground.
Writing his impressions Lester says
tersely of the ''Corystone':
Il shall always be glad Of this year
with the Corystops How much longer
will this rich, leisurely. aris,ocratic class,
with all it's still surviving power and
privileges, exist among us? 1t is some
thing that obviously it in process OF

Didn't George Washington wear laces
and ruffles? Seems to me that I've read
that he did"
but not a green hat" I defended the
poor Father of Our Country"
Il thought he did," the Mere Man"
said with satisfaction.
'You certainly are not related to the
one and only who couldn't and wouldn't
tell er-er lie" l said ignobly, for you
can turn any sort of an old situation
into something to gain your own point"
Perhaps you are right" he acquiesced.
Maybe G. Washington never saw a
green hat-never heard of one-but then
he never knew what he missed. At any
rate, I'm going to wear one every spring
and fall of my life just to show out
wardly and visibly the inward exultation
that | feel at that time.

at the man in the green hat, who had
kept his on all during the conversation.
AS l spoke my mind on the subject
he vanished and the man in the modest
black derby turned to me and said;
He's just like child with a new toy
Looks like a bally fool, though, in that
lid--doesn't he?"
II wouldn't go as far as that," hedged.
Besides, you've heard my opinion on
the subject
You don't like green hats for men,
little bit-do your" he asked curiously.
II don't like them at ALL. I said, uE-
hesitatingly and then he left.
An hour later I chanced to be pass

fares downtown and 10, and behold what
did mine eyes see, but my friend of the
modest black derby and inconspicuous

He wore tan shoes Ghat should have

girl-and as he lifted his bonnet l no.
ticed that he glanced at II and seemed
almost shocked when he realized what
brilliant green 1t really was in tint!
He was probably getting ready to ceIe-
brate the birthday of the Father OF Our

to me that in matters sartorfal men are
as crazy and weird as the most foolish

transmutation and decay: though in
country like England the process will be
very slow one. Personally I greatly
prefer this landlord stratum to the top
stratum of the trading and manufactur-

any crisis brings to life-as in the Boer
war; and the mere cult of FAMILY and In
