 also wants his friends to have the same. He is somewhat hampered by his wife, who is of saving nature, and he cannot persuade her to spend his money as he would like her to do in consequence of this he takes under his protection three young and charming girls and proceeds to set up three sep

Henry James Life

Theodora Bosanquet, in the Yale Review.
 His letters are revealing in proportion as the reader realizes that they do not hold the secret of Henry James life. His life is in the books which he produced
 with silent regularity, dropped year by year on to the tables of booksellers and into the shelves and libraries to be bought and cherished by the faithful, ignored by the multitude and treated as a test of mental endurance by a number of per- sons of the type that made Browning what he was Tn his Browning Society" phase. Fortunately for posterity, Henry James did not lend himself to exploita- tion by any Jacobean Society. Instead of inventing riddles for prize students, he scattered about his pages a number of pregnant passages which contain all the clues that any intelligent reader needs for keeping up with him. It was his theory that if readers didn't keep up with him-as they admittedly didn't always

 I saw My Lady Friends" in New York last June. when I was there and I went to the matinee all by myself and sat way down front" and gggled myself nearly to death over MT. and Mrs. Smith (the amusing young mar ried couple). MT. Blackwell plays MT Smith and "Chicadee Cottage" at At lantic City-and the antics that he goes through-the amusing excapades, with his three flossy, fluffy, Lady Friends" and the doting stingy. tight waddy'' little wife who won't even buy herself new dress despite the fact that her husband has made millions of dollars.
 One line in My Lady Friends amused me tremendously. and that is when Mr. Smith, Carlyle BlackwelD, |,bemoaning his fate that now that he has made his millions and could have a good time, his wife won't spend a penny and go any where and he says burying his face in his hands: 'I can't even get her to go to the theatre; she's so stingy she won't let me buy a theatre ticket;N all she will
 go to is a movie and I just know that I've seen that fellow Bill Hart ride twelve thousand miles if I've seen him ride a mile.'
 Lady Friends" of the gay MT. Smith are bidding him adieu at Chicadee Cottage, and Mrs. Smith is sitting over in the corner pouting and worried to
 death because he's spent some money, one of the girls says to her in parting: "Au revoir. my dear Mrs. Smith; I'm going to give you a bit of advice be- fore I leave you; remember that it may take woolens to keep wife warm in the winter. but it takes satins and silks to keep husband warm. vernum Sap

 My Lady Friends has been one

 Unlike most of the sensational plays in New York during the past year, My Lady Friends" does not boast of bed room scene which most playri ghts have seemed to think is indispensable to a modern comedy; on the other hand My Lady Friends" deals with the modern extravagances of the feminine gender in the present time.

and laden with toys and toothsome
gifts for the smaller ones, grown over
night in the kindergarten. Santa Claus
came shortly after the little ones had
assembled and distributed the fruits
of the tree amid laughter and Joy.
The pupils of the elementary school,
after a peep at the wonderful tree,
assembled in the west basement for
their fun. Here many parents, pa
irons and friends came. some before
the kindergarten exercises were COM
pleted, some after the sympathetic
sharing of pleasure and appreciation,
helping the children to do their best
and adding to the teachers pleasure
also.
Songs, dances, recitations and play
cites in which more than half the pu-
pills of the school took part, consti-
tuted the program.
This program began with march
of all those who were to take part
