When she hid in the garret it was not to

weeks old when she received it second hand.
Her favorite doll, the First lady of the

is now, perhaps, to be answered. For the
position of ambassador to Italy opens up at
this time unlimited possibilities for service,
and the feeling IL stronger than ever today
that when the wars over the trouble be-
gins.
Mr.. johnson Is sixty seven years old. He
was born in Washington, d. c., and was
educated at Earlham College, Quaker in
stitution at Richmond, Ind. For forty years
he was connected with the Century and its
predecessor, Scribner's Monthly, making his
way up from clerk to editor in chief. One
of his most important literary works was
the editing, In collaboration with O. O.
Buel, Of the Century war series, later pub
Iished in book form as Battles and Leaders
of the Civil War" It was General Grants
contribution to this work which led later,
at the instigation of Mr.. johnson, to Grants
writing his memoirs.
Speaking before the war to a group OF
would be authors at the Columbia School Of
Journalism, Mr.. johnson said:

day is a vulgar disdain of good manners in

son Page as ambassador to Italy. At this
time, when there are such mixed feelings
in Italy toward the United States, and its
people are too apt to regard with distrast
any delegate from this government, the
choice is particularly happy one. For Mr
Johnson's first feeling toward that country
is one of love and sympathy. Like many
of our ambassadors to foreign courts. be Is
known as an author rather than q states
man.
Mr.. johnson has Travelled much for his
own pleasure in the country where he now
is to be official representative Of his home
government. He was the originator Of the
Keats Shelley memorial in Rome. That he
has long been known and honored there Is
indicated BY the fact that twenty five years
ago he was made Cavaliere of the 0yder OF
the Crown of Italy.
Again, his poems tell the story Of his
acquaintance with the wonders not Of Rome
alone, but of the other cities, whose charm
is voiced in the following stanzas from

lover of Italy, Mr.. johnson always has
shown himself the true and loyal son of his
own country. Aside from his literary work
as. author and as editor Of the Century
Magazine, he is best known as a pioneer
in the conservation movement. He was the
originator of Yosemite National Park, and
it was he who, in 1906, proposed q confer
