whose creation, he says, was begun eight
years back. The chronology is imma-
terlal; Mr.. Lewis wants us to see in
kreisler essential Germany. This news
paper will not be accused of fondness for
the proved German character; but the
English critic is blind to logic-for, if
we take the horrid kreisler as a portrait
of whole people, how are we to escape
hbellIng the British nation as represented
in the half contemplate, half ridiculous
person of Tarr7 But there are many
more Germans like kreisler than there
are Britons like Tarr. Kreisler is vic
tim of his circumstances. He would have
got along very well in Germany, but as an
art student in Paris he was decidedly 4
mistit. We have a sneaking liking for
him, justitiable, if at all, on the ground
that he has not been treated quite right
by his creator. But Tarr-that is q gray
horse of another color! We don't like
Tarr.
And yet it is Tarr who gives Kreisler
the best explanation he gets anywhere in
the book. 81 believe says Tarr, ''that
all the fuss he made was an attempt to
get out of Art back into Life again, like

TWO art-y persons in Paris, Tarr, the
L Englishman, and Kreisler, the
German, keep getting in each others
way. They disliked each other for
obscure physiological reasons; they
had perhaps strapped in the dress
ing rooms of Creation for some
particular fleshly covering, and each
secured only fragments Of coveted gar
ment. Tarr has German girl, Bertha
Lunken. kreisler takes her away from
him. Tarr gives Bertha ian Anastasya
for her Otto" Anastasya being another
girl who had Russian parents and was
born In Berlin and educated in America.
kreisler then besieges Anastasya, runs
amok, and in a silly, anachronistic duel
does murder, hangs himself in jail-and
leaves Bertha liz the condition called "del-
cate to be married by Tarr.

tasya that his fathering of Kreisler's child

MRS. SAGE, ONE OF WORLDS RICHEST
 WOMEN, DEAD AT NEW YORK HOME

New York, Nov. Airs. Russell Sage, widow of Russell Sage, the fi- nancier died early this morning tt her residence here. She has been ir feeble health for several years. She was ninety years old.
 Mrs. Sage was one of the richest women in the world.
 Three or four days ago her condi- tion became serious and the end was not unexpected. Her death was caused by ailments due to advanced age. Also due to the same cause Mrs. Sage has been virtually a re- cluse in her Fifth avenue house for several years. She has been seen but rarely in public and her trips were limited to close friends and relatives.
 A nurse on duty in Mrs. Sage's room noticed a change in the patients condition shortly after midnight. Mrs. Sage died about an hour later.
 Margaret Olivia Sage, until she reached middle life had only the mea- then in a day she found herself mis- tress of one of the greatest fortunes in America. Her early days were devoted to scraping together enough money to give herself a fair educa- tion. and her last were spent in de- veloping the science of giving money away During the last seven years of complete stewardship of the $70,- 100000 left by her husband, Russell Sage. she returned nearly $30,000, 900 to the public by systematic philan- thropies.
 My experience has taught me- she had said recently, that successful people are those who take what comes to hand and, If it be small, wait and work for something better. The root of failure lies often in the thought that you can do but one thing and must do that or nothing"
 This practical philosophy developed when she was a girl in Syracuse, N. Y, her birthplace. Her father, Jo- seph Slocum, was so reduced In cir cumstances by the panic of 1887 that the daughter, at the age of only nine years was obliged to help in the up- keep of the household. At the age of 16 she started for Mount Holyoke College expecting to work her way for four years by housework, but sick ness overlook her on her way and she was compelled to stop at an un- cle's house in Troy. Later she was induced to enter Emma Willards
