MESSRS. DODD, MEAD e. co.
AN1 have been well advised to bring
out a popular edition of the delightful
autobiography to which Marion Craw-
ford's sister has given the somewhat mis-
leading title of A DipIomatistS Wife in
Many Lands. The book is much more
than the title denotes, for it begins with
the authors birth and childhood in Rome
and proceeds to her marriage to a member
of the British diplomatic service, whose
interesting and varied experiences she
shared in Austria, China and Japan.
Mrs. Fraser may well be proud of her
ancestry and her kin-her father was one
of the most distinguished Of American
sculptors it would be difficult to
name any other living writer who has met
more interesting people in the course of
ms or her career. There is no padding or
repetition of old stories in her book; what
she tells us about the notable characters
she has encountered are for the most part
incidents untold before and well worth
telling. 1t would be hard to find a more
entertaining book for long journey or
a rainy day in the country; then, again,
you can c en- it anywhere and your eye
will be sure to light upon some anecdote
worth reading.
A Famous Family.
Mary Crawford has been fortunate in
her family. Her father was Thomas
Crawford, the great sculptor, who made
the statue of Armed Liberty on the Capt.
tol at Washington; her brother was
Francis Marion Crawford, the brilliant
American novelist; her aunt was Julia
Ward Howe, the author of the immortal
Battle Hymn of the Republic; her uncle
was Sam Ward, one of New York's most
famous bons vivants and tellers of good
stories, and her cousin is Maud Howe
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-11-10

lans, who declared that it would never
be popular, though it was original and
well written. Marion Crawford was so
scrupulous that be would not write about
any subject of which he had not person
ally and practically mastered the details"
He became a Venetian glass worker IN
order to write Marietta, Mad Of
Venice; a silversmith in order to write
Mar-io'S Crucjfr, and he mastered the
Bohemian tongue-his seventeenth Ian
guage-in order to write The Witch Of
Prague. 1t may be mentioned here that
on one occasion when his novels were
under discussion Marion Crawford told
the present writer that he himself pre-
ferred The Witch Of Prague to any other
of his works.
In writing her own biography Mrs.
Fraser has been obliged often TO relate
some history in order to make her own
experiences ineligible; and this she has
done exceedingly well. Her story of the
decisive battle of SadOwa or Koniggratz,
for example, in the seven weeks war be-
tween Austria and Prussia IN 1866, IS a
model Of concise, historical narrative.
A DIPLOMATIST WIFE IN MANY
LANDS. By Mrs. HUGH FRASER. Dodd,
Mead & Co. So.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-11-10

Elliott of Boston, who has written several
clever books.
She gives lovely picture Of her early
life In Rome, where the children rejoiced
in the companionship of Moro, black cat
of enormous size and corresponding
dignity, who so loved her father "that
when the hour approached for him to
leave the studio and return to the house
Moro would glide down the long, stone
stairs and sit by the porte-cochere wait
ing for him and would never touch food if
the master were absent" This was before
the self-imprisonment of the Pope in the
Vatican, and on one summer morning
Mary and her brother Marion encountered
the white robel Plus TX. in the gardens
on the Pincian Hill and received the papal
benedietion. Many years later the little
girl had the good fortune to see the open
ing of the famous Ecumenical Council, "a
picture which," she says, "after all these
years still remains the most impressive
and important of all my remembered gal
lery"
Edward Lear, Funmaker.
During the last days of the POpe's
temporal power the Crawfords spent the
summer at village in the Maritime Alps,
where they met Edward Lear, beloved of
all English speaking children for his de-
licious Nonsense Book, and when the
storm of war broke he was an unfailing
source of comfort to them all. "He was
one of the few Englishmen not spoilt by
almost lifelong residence in Italy, one who
gave the lie to the italian proverb 'un
Inglese italianato e il Diavolo incarnato'"
an Italianized Englishman is the devil
incarnate. 1t is difficult to associate the
song of The Oul and the PHssy-Cdt with
an old gentleman wearing a long white
beard, whose bright eyes seemed all the
time TO be watching some pleasant
comedy; Int we recognize him at once

On the coast Of Bahrein island, in

where there are springs of pure water
that well up through the sand. Knowl-
edge of the location of these springs
is handed down from generation to
generation. Divers equipped with wa

boats and catch the water as 1t flows
fresh from the sands by inverting theil
bags over the current of the spring.
