Our international Indifference.

DR.. Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose
two-volume history Of Americas For
eign Relations" has just appeared
through the Century Company, says
that the observations of n lifetime
have persuaded him that the foreign
relations Of this country are the least
generally known part Of its history,
and that in consequence we are the
most sef-centred and circumbscribed
Of nations, cosmopolitan in actual
makeup, but far from cosmopolitan in
sympathy and in genius. The pro-
verbal British insularity, according to
Or. Johnson. is vastly and generously
comprehensive in contrast to the
bigoted parochial egotism Of Britain's
gigantic offspring. From an excess OF
adulatory introspection, our lack of APP
preciative perspective and proportion
in viewing other nations and their af
fairs, he says, have arisen many OF our
domestic and most Of our external ills.
DR.. Johnson confesses that the inten-
ton Of his work is to inspire the Amer
lean people with a more adequate idea
Of their real place in the world.

A KIPLING ANECDOTE.

In his "Rudyard Kipling: A Literary
(the +. A. Stokes Com
pany) K. Thurston Hopkins tells som,
capital anecdotes of the great writer
While Kipling was living in Vermont
he adopted the American habit of pay
ing his household bills by check:
Many of these checks were very
small, and the shrewd Yankee
tradesmen soon found out that au-
tograph hunters would pay much
over face value for them. One
shopkeeper obliged his autograph"
clients with a duplicate memoran-
dun of the account. For example:
a bill against kipling for five
pounds of cheese. accompanied By
an autographed check, was SOU
venir that commanded good price.
The consequence was that when
Kipling sent his handbook 20 be
balanced it invariably showed more
TO his credit than there should
have been. lie was unable TO ac-
count for the discrepancy until one
day he saw one Of his checks given
for case of bottled beer framed
and hanging in Boston book shop.
The first thing he did when he re-
turned 20 his home was 10 burn the

at least, has not attempted 20 avoid it.
She chats about herself, her musical
and dramatic precocity. her tempera-
ment -and infant temper and her
triumphs. social and artistic, on two
continents. And she dedicates her book
to her mother. who has shared il all

IL was 20 him, in a railway carriage,
that Miss Farrar first made her famous
announcements: ~ love only my art,
and ! shall never marry an. body" She
has since changed her mind on the
subject, but what woman has not the
right TO do that, especially a woman
who is also prima donna? According
20 her own account of herself, how
ever, Miss Farrar has only rarely
availed herself Of that right. She knew
what she wanted from the very first,
when. as a slip of a girl, she deter
mined that she would sing Carmen

years later, on her first visit to New

not asked her 10 create the Girl She
