THE REVIEWING STAND
By Alexander Woollcott

forbidden TO land until we had settled
for the champagne.
But after all. these facetious expert
ments are merely commendable eff
forts to escape from the iron routine
of fruit baskets and just a few good
books. That was really the kindly
spirit which animated some of our
playmates two years ago when they
merrily packed our stateroom with
children's toys-blocks. geography
games. drawing states and everything
a not particularly bright lad of eight
could desire. The same rogues sped
Reinald Werrenrath on his overseas
concert tour by sending him two par
rots TO the ship.
Having all these precedents in mind
and resolute not to indulge in that
ancient jest OF sending goldfish, we
tried hard a few weeks ago. when a
whole family was going right out of
our life. to think of bon pOyd9e gift
that no one had ever given before and
that really would amuse or please the
voyagers. After much cogitation we
compiled tantalizing questionnaire,
with sealed answers. to be opened only
at the end of the voyage. Take these
home and try them on your culture:
l. To whom was Jane Eyre" dedi-
cated?
2. What famous Irishman eked out a
precarious income in his youth by flute
playing on the Continent?
Name three modern playwrightS who
started out as physicians?
4. Where was Richard Mansfield born? :?
5. What was the origin and first sig
nificance of the Italian word for Ger
man"-tedesco?
g. Who was Brooks OF Sheffield?
T. Who wrote the letters of Junius?
s. What common phrase. made of
French words. is never heard in France
or seen in French dictionary?
9. What celebrated English novel of
our day was published posthumously?
j. In diplomacy what is the difference
between an identic and an Identical
note?
II. The plot of what famous English
novel was offered to Henry James as a
gift?
IL. Who was the Bisley Boy?
49, What is the Wicked Bible?
a. Who was the original of Horace
Skimpole in Bleak House? n
Is. What was Voltaires real name?
16. What poet was o. soldier at the
Battle of Valmy?
IT. What Shakespearian play has the
greatest preponderance of verse?
49, Name two famous European au-
thors who had negro blood in their
veins?
19. What celebrated literary romance
resulted from a chance conformation at
Avignon?
90 What great Austrian on his death
bed besought his friends to send him the
works of Fenimore Cooper?
Such gift can be prepared for
about seYen cents, including paper,
stamps and wear and tear on your
reference books. Readers wishing to
make such gift should be cautioned.
however, to offer it only to some one
who is leaving the. country. Do not,
under any circumstances, deliver 1t
by hand. If you do the gratified re-
cipient will glance it over. admit gen.
orally that he can answer only two
or three, and then, turning radiant
on you. will ask severely: Can you
name three modern Chinese poets?
