A Collection Of Sketches Tha.

Tobacco Burns

Christopher Morley's daily output for
the newspaper for which he writes is
Of such quality that II can stand the
test of reprinting between covers. In
'Pipefuls," he has assembled some OF
his contributions to this newspaper and
some of the things which he has written
for the New York Evening Post. along
with three or four magazine articles.
The general character Of the volume is
very much like that Of his "Mnce Pie. "
Some Of the sketches included might
have found place in his Travels, in
Philadelphia. They were omitted be-
cause they were not written when that
contribution to the literature of this
town went to press or because they did
not fit in with its general scheme.
When in the distant future the biog
raphy of this prolific writer comes tc
be written the man who undertakes the
job will find much autobiographic ma
terial to his hand in this volume. But
the book is interesting to present day
readers because of its delightfully."-

of the ingratiating manner of putting
the product of that outlook, into words

MRS. ALDRICH MADE
MRS. STOWE TIPSY
And Did Not Let the World
know about 1t Until Nearly
Fifty Years after

Mrs. Thomas Bailey Aldrich has
written in "Crowding Memories" a
book of literary. artistic and dramatic
"reminiscences which will give ioy to
every one who is so fortunate as to nos
sess it. Its tone is kindly and toler-
ant, tone that is possible only to n
person who has liking for his fellow
men. One rises from reading il with a
warmth around the heart and feeling
that one has missed something out Of
life in not having had the pleasure of
knowing the woman who wrote it. In
deed, If the reader envcs Mr.. Aldrich
the recording angel will not set it down
against him in the big book.
One of the many entertaining incl
dents which Mrs. Aldrich describes is
that of n visit which Harriet Beechcr
Stowe paid to her IN her seaside cot
tage. Mrs. Stowe arrived in the middle
of the forenoon, tired from long jour
ney and slightly overcome with the heat
Of New England summer. Mrs.
AldriCh, who had been filled with tre-
DidatiOn ut the prospect of entertaining
so distinguished a visitor, forgot her
own worries in her effort to make her
guest comfortable. She put her in an
easy chair and gave her a fan, and then
remembering a claret cup which she had
been preparing she suggested a re-
frcShing drink. Mrs. Stowe consented.
The claret cup was produccd-it had
been mixed when Mrs. Aldrich was
thinking more of her guest than Of the
recipe, and it had somehow been made
pretty stiff. Let the guilty hostess tell
what happened: Mrs Stowe drank.
and very shortly aftcrward complained
of the unsettled character of the room,
which seemed to the visitor to he sta :
! tionary at an angle OF forty five de-
grccS. And the sea turn--everything is
IN blue miSt-did we often have such

of her rotations She drank a cup of
strong coffee graciously offered when she
awokc and never knew that she had
suffered from anything more iniquitous
than a spell of dizziness caused by the
summer heat. And Mrs. Aldrich kept
her guilty secret until She put it down

There are anecdotes about Booth and
his wife, about Browning and Dickens

Life in the WiLds

Life in the Hudson BAY territory of
northern Canada is graphically pictured
in "a Mating in the Wilds," a story
Of adventure. The principal charac-
ters are a young Oxford man and an
English society lady. lie rescues her
from drowning and she cares for him
after an accident which disabled him
for weeks. The way in which his need
we're cared for by her In the solitary
woods, and how this developed her ef.
ficiency and all that was best in her
constitutes the charm Of the story. Other
neople in the lonesome stretches of for
ests and stream are brought in, Indians,
half breeds and white men. Most of
them are apparently lawless characters
who have little regard for the value of
the life of those whom for some reason
they hate. Though there is much that
is depressing in the story, IL ends pleas
antly, and one feels that he has learned
something new of the life of little
known but interesting ntgion.

THE familiar essay makes one fami-

the pleasure Of meeting Mr.. Lucas and
sitting beside him for while. l can
testify to the truth of his statement that
he Is n very good listener; for that day
he listened to many Of us, but repaid
the multiplicity of our converse in the

Nov this, it seems to me, is exactly
" the secret of the familiar essay and
the reason why it Is beloved Of the
aristocrat in reading, the Brahmin
aforesaid. Personality counts big no
matter in what walk in life; but mere
personality is not enough in the familiar
essay. Somebody SAID something once
about the Johnsonian manner to the eff
feet that were DR.. johnson to cause
minnows TO speak he would give them
the utterance Of whales or leviathans.
A familiar essay is not an authoritative
discourse, emphasizing the inferiority OF
the reader: and neither the learned, the
superior, the clever nor overwitty is the
man who can pull it off" An exhi
bition Of pyrotechnics Is all very fine
but chat by wood fire with friend
who can listen, as well as talk, who
