Stanford White and La Farge-these

in the pages of this book. Once
at an exhibition in New York Saint
Gaudens and Mr.. Armstrong were
seeking to find a passably good
picture. Saint Gaudens. generous
with praise of anything he thought
really good. was cast into despair by
the interminable number of canvases
without merit.
At the Paris Exposition Of 1878 Mr..
Armstrong served as United States
Commissioner of Fine Arts, an expert
ence that was fruitful, as it precipi-
tated many amusing adventures and
clashes with old and new factions in
art. A criticism of Turner as being
so imaginative that one cannot tell
what his pictures are about prompts
one to wonder what this sweet soul
would think of some of the very
"nouveau" art Of to-day. His express
sion of surprise at the shortness of
skirts of the ladies Of Florence OF
the sos makes one wonder what
would have been his comment on the
Manhattan girl of to-day.
Eventually Mr.. Armstrong became
designer and manufacturer of stained
glass, and some OF his work in col
liberation with Saint Gaudens and
La Fargo was done in connection with
the Church Of the Ascension at West
Tenth street and Fifth avenue. Mr..
Armstrong takes no wordy farewell
to the world he had so enjoyed. His
book ends simply after short descrip-
ton OF the peaceful years at his farm
in the childhood home with the sem
tence-"And so these memories OF
mine come to an end where they be-
gan-at Danskammer."

pany.
Although he may not have meant II
as such. Mr.. Fosdick. in his volume on
american Police Systems has writ
ten a tragedy of American inepti-
tude in civic, political and legal af-
fairs as they relate to our police sys-
TENS. The plan of the work is admir-
ably conceived, for II begins with a
telling contrast between the general
problem Of the police of our cities as
compared with those of the great
European capitals, the contrast OF q
single nationality in each foreign
capital cited as against the polyglot
populations of our larger cities and
towns. Piled on top Of this difficulty
we have the shocking condition OF
our laws and their interpretations by
the courts which he shows. by many
examples, do not fortify the work Of
the police as they should.
With these conditions as founda-
ton Mr.. Fosdick gives a carefully de-
tailed historical study Of the establish
ment Of our police systems, the devel-
opment of police boards and State con-
troll. the successes and failures OF the
latter system. He discusses and AMI

Five Early Stories
By Henry James

MASTER EUsTAcE. BY Henry James.
Thomas Settler.
Americans who delight in the writ
ings OF Henry James VIII greet with
pleasure this volume of stories which
have not before been published here in
permanent form. The five stories in
the book are from the earlier half of
the authors career. and represent in
worthy fashion the high level of style
to which he had already attained.
Master Eustace," the first of the
series. is a study of the mental history
of good-looking moron who spoiled
her son. The latter turned in due
course and rent her, and so she died.
"Longstaff's Marriage" deals with the
case of a lone wandering Englishman
who fell in love with a beautiful Am
erican and she with him. This other
wise natural and fortunate situation
was marred by the fact that the hero
and heroine did not, if one may so
express it, reciprocate their affections
simultaneously. Thus the time factor,
which Einstein has since brought into
such notoriety, was in this case fatal.
She died. and, for all the good 1t did
him. he might as we'll have done like
wise.
"Theodolendi' was a young French
beauty who upset the equanimity Of
a mild-mannered traveller in Paris by
ravaging the gentle heart Of collec-
tor Of objets dart. One gets the i'm
preston that Mr.. James was perhaps
unduly confident of the opacity of his
plot in this story; the tale is a pleas
ant one, however, furnishing a cheer
full note in an otherwise somewhat
beclouded landscape. "A Light Man"
is an account of two futile young fell
lows who thought they were going to
inherit the old gentleman's fortune.
When they did not they went away

by a pretty girl with brains, he con-
Quoted himself after the manner Of the
proverbial donkey. When both the
ladies' had given him up in despair he
became very tired of life.
Such are the outlines, roughly
speaking of these stories; but 1t is.
of course, idiotic to speak roughly of
any work of Henry James. and any
thing purporting to be an outline or
ii must leave out the essence of James.
There are few Americans whose idea
of literary art is entirely untainted
with consideration of the subject;
and to such the subjects of these
studies will seem perhaps hardly
worthy of the loving care which the
author has bestowed upon them. For
certainly all the characters here de-
picted are, II one removes them for a
moment from the limpid medium in
which they swim, seen to be complete

THE TOSSING OF
WEDDING RING.
Into The Ocean Marked Ceremonies
To Celebrate The Reuniting of
Poland To The Sea.
Associated Press

WARSAW, March 19-Tossing of
a wedding ring into the ocean mark
ed ceremonies recently held at Puck,
or Putzig, to celebrate the reuniting
which all of Poland troops in their
northward march on their own soil, as
provided under the Treaty of Versail-
les, had reached the coastline of the
Baltic and begun to make themselves
at home in the stretch of land, north
west of Danzig. This brought Poland
to salt water again after an absence
of 148 years.
While Polish ships are to have use
of wharves at Danzig, which is to be
a free port under the League of Ma
tions, the new republic is DESTROYS of
of a port which it may call it's very
own, and it is with this end in view
that the Polish government has settled
upon Puck, as it is spelled in Polish
as a site of the port where in the flu
ture Poland may have absolutely free
commercial access to the sea under
jurisdiction of it's own officials.
1t was at the seaside near Puck
where formal exercises marking Po-
lands reunion to the sea were cele-
brated the other day and it was a
err Poland assembled in holiday attire
to commemorate the historical occur
ence, and also the recovery of
Polish land which went to Prussia af-
ter Poland's first ACKNOWLEDGMENT by
the three conquerors, Prussia, Russia
and Austria, in 1772.
General Halter, commander-in-chief
of the Polish army in France during
the great var and under whom thou
sands of Polish-Americans fought,
headed the military expedition which
entered Puck to reclaim in the name
of President Pilsudski, Poland's gate
way to the seven seas. The towns, and
all the villages thereabouts, were de-
corated with thousands of flags and
streamers of the Polish national col
lors, in white and scarlet, which were
flying in these parts for the first
time in a century and a half.
There was a race of the detach-
ments of Polish soldiers to actually
reach the coast and to be the first to
dip a Polish flag into the waters of
the Baltic.
Speaking at the exercises, General

seasonings and the yolks of eggs.
Beat thoroughly and add the butter
and whites of eggs, well beaten. Steam

Almost any frozen dish will have a
smoother, more velvety texture and

In the making of many dishes in
which sugar is used honey takes the
place of an equal amount Of sugar;

to be cut down one-third. The flavor
Of good honey combines well with
spices and flavorings commonly used.
