James Whitcomb Riley as a Lion.

It was mark Of our highest CON
sideration to produce Riley at enter
tainmcnts given in honor Of distin-
guished visitors, but this was not al
ways to be effected without consider
able plotting. q have heard that in
Atlanta Uncle RemuS" was even Il
greater problem to his fellow citizensD
Riley's innate modesty, always to be
reckoncd with, was likely to smother
his companionablcnes in the presence
Of ultru-litorary personagcs. Ills re-
spect for scholarship for literary So
phstication made him reluctant to
meet those who, he imagined, breathed
an ether to which he was unacclimat-
ed. At a small dinner in honor Of
Henry James he maintained Il strict
silence until one of the other guests,
in an effort to "draw out" the novelist
mentioned Thomas Hardy and the fe-
licity Of his titles, instancing "Under
the Greenwood Tree" and "a Pair of
Blue Eyes" Riley for the first time
addressing the table, remarked quietly
of the second Of these: ITS an odd
thing about eyes, that they are usually
in sets "a comment which did not,

OF fruit from the stand and run The
old woman was TO take after her in

Everything went Of exactly as
