Paris Now Feels Safe
When I left Paris for London in
the middle of June, conditions had al.
ready begun to improve, but after two
months and a half the sense Of i'm.
pending peril has entirely disappeared.
Paris Is gay in a different way from
that Of peace days. A great feature
now 10 the presence of so many Amer
lean soldiers and others engaged IN
war work. Their number Is not only
great. but they coun double, with
their energy and exuberance.
They also contribute to the move
ment upward of all prices. They are
free bidders for anything they want.
The figures Of Americas war e
penditure are colossal. / have heard
an estimate Of a billion and a half
francs as the actual cash directly
distributed monthly by the Americans
in France. Whatever the figures. they
will continue to grow by leaps ano

THE intricate, decorative and charm
L ing picture above is but one of
fourteen pictures with which Ben
Kutcher, young Russian American ar
fist, has illustrated a book of Oscar
Wilde's fairy tales. The tales are those
of Wilde's 4 House Of Pomegranates, to
which has been added the story of The
Nightingale and the Rose, also by Wilde
The book, which has notable introduc-
ton by II. l.. Mencken, has just been pub
lished by Moffat, Yard & Co. Ii has
Bakstlke binding in two solid colors, and
whether it will be more attractive to the
children or to the grownups it is certainly
difficult 10 say.
For these stories of Wilde's happiest
and ablest time can be read and enjoyed
both by youth and age, just as butchers
black and whites-the best, surely, since
Aubrey Bearsdley was drawing-can give
infinite pleasure to old and young alike.
The stories, besides The Nightingale and
the Rose, are those of The Happy Prince,
The Selfish Giant, The Young King. The
Stdr-Child, The Fisherman and His Soul
and The Birthday Of the Infonta. OF
course the introduction by Mr.. Mnnrken
can be appreciated and understood only
by maturer readers. Though not long, it
is unquestionably, in its felicity of ex-
preston, its lucidity of thought and its
honesty of judgment one of the very best
things that this critic has written. 1t is 4

The History of Lowdermilk's
Shelley and Conrad Items
Boston Sale and Other News

TN 1879 there drifted into the city of
i Washington man small Of stature,
spare of figure, with shaggy whiskers and
keen blue eye, named James Anglim. He
remained there until 1895, and during the
time he formed the acquaintance of most
of the prominent men in the country,
whether in business or in politics. His
little book shop on one of the side streets
was a gathering place of personages, and
though his stock was small it contained the
special sort of books they were inter
ested in.
When Anglim arrived in Washington he
had little money, as the result, it was said,
of raseality on the part of former as
sociate. Therefore his Roadway was not
rapid. But Scotch tenaeity and close ap
plieation soon improved matters, and in
twenty three years he succeeded in building
up the great business now known as w. II.
Lowdermilk & Co., and of which John T.
LOOMS is the present managing partner.
Government Publications.
When Mr.. Anglim began he found that
no one was paying any attention to the col.
Letting of Government publications, even
those connected with the earliest history
of the Government, especially such as were
first issued in Washington; and he saw that
here was likely to be q fruitful field for
business, as few if any Of the great Ii
braries had many OF them. That he acted
wisely has been demonstrated many times
in the history of the house he founded;
its business in this direction has been
enormous.
Anglim was very eccentric and tempera-
mental, and though not an educated man
in the modern sense, he had that saving
grace of the more intelligent and success
full of the old book dealers-a fine intuitive
faculty. One who knew him most init
mately, because connected with him in
business, said of him: "He could scent
valuable literary item without effort. He
was extremely pleasant and attracted men
to him, and he was the best salesman /
ever saw; but he had absolutely no business
capacity; he was entirely without system,
and an easy victim for all sorts of i'm
posters and swindlers.
