THE HOMELY DIARY OF A DIPLO-
MAT IN THE EAST, 1s97-1s80. By
Thomas Shelton Harrison: With q
foreword by Sara Yorke Stevenson.
Sc. D., Lift. D. And with illustra-
ttons. Boston: Houghton Miniin
Company.
Diplomatic duties and social pleasures
ity diary implies. One gets colorful
glimpses of the comings and goings of
dignitaries Of the khedival court of
Cairo against background of British
domination, and a more intimate view
OF the family life Of the author. His
minutcness Of detail In tho matter of
daily entries permits the reader to see,
that transpired in what must have
been very happy home. One can even
hear the hoof beats Of Nellie Bly,"
BAY Harrison" and Lady knox," and
Whit good and gone dinners through
the magic of menus SO plentifully
supplied.
The work is worth while as an index
throughout 1897-1S99, as concerning
that country's dealings with ours. but
one feels that the writer's heart is in
what he rightfully calls his "homely"
chroniclinSs, because of their associa-
ton with the wife. who was his COM
rade and sweetheart, and who at the
time of the publication of his book
had become beloved memory Of the
past.
Mrs. Stevenson in her introduction
explains that LAS Mr.. Harrison's diary
was so full of Mrs. Harrison's presence.
1t seemed almost a sacred duty to take
up the publication, and to preserve In
some permanent form the memory of
those days as a tribute to her." Tho
work Is worthy of the object that
prompted Its publication.
