LOTTA EMBURY'S CAREER. BY Ella
NJ. Peattie. author of The Preci-
pice." Boston: Houghton, Miff1in
Company.
Every girl, somewhere among the
secrecies of her early girlhood, cher
ishes the conviction that she is des-
tined for great things-for such things
as the world popularity counts great.
And this was what, in the beginning
of this story. was the matter with
Lotta Embury. She was going to be
a violinist of such genius and power
that nothing less than the wide world
itself would suffice to stage this Won
der of the age. That is what her dot
ing old aunt dreamed for her, though
Lotta's own vision of this event was
Il much more circumscribed, much
vaguer view. for the girl had splen-
did allowance of common sense under
all her bewilderment of just being
girl. The story here is a bright and
stimulating account of Lotta's faring

and the rabble appear and disappear
here as the stresses of Tolternicus ad-
vance upon him or for a little time
draw away. This is an ambitious un-
dertaking. But in quite creditabie
degree even in a quite promising man
ner, does this young author hold IN
hand the multitudinous affairs that he
mas so daringly set afoot. The play
moves along toward its climax in the
death of the hero in fair coherence
of motive and action. The writer has
in no slight degree feeling for the
value and cadence of words. The ac-
ton reads with dignity and sound.
as the old notion of the tragedy re-
uuires AS a matter of course, the
younger a writer is the more inclined
is he toward tragedy. Youth is tragic
in its emotions and outlook. The
signs of real power that lie in this
somber play will be worth much to the
writer of it when these powers have
been loosened up and given ROOM to
mix a little with the comedy of lie.

Spanish Opportunity.
From. the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FROM. Inc Cleveland P1aln Dealer.
Spain is the largest neutral nation OF
Europe, and there seems to be no re-
mote possibility that she will be dra wn
into the war. She has no large inter-
ests which conflict with those of the
warning powers. Like all the lest os
Europe she suffers from the disturbed
conditions, but she may, none the less,
reap advantages from the abnormal
state of affairs.
But Spain is notoriously unenterpris-
ing. Once the greatest nation of the
world. her luxury ruined her fiber, and
in slothfulness she degenerated to a
low position far from commensurate
with her population and resources.
Lately there have been signs of an
of energy, and the oppor-
tunity now offered may not be entirely
lost.
The announcement of a Spanish line
of steamers between Vigo and New
York is at least encouraging. 1t indi-
Gates certain desirable animation.
Were there more animation and less
dreaming, more energy and less guitar
playing, more humanitarianism and
less bull batting. the outlook for Spain
to resume her place as a world power
would be bright
