sketches give interesting details about
the lives and personalities of COM
posers, for example that Ernest Bloch,
foremost living exponent of modern
Hebrew music wrote a vow as a
child to become a composer, buried
the paper under pile of stones and
built over it bonfire, and that Scria-
bin, "the Chopin of modern Russian
music" was taken by an aunt to
play before Rubinstein, who advised
that the boy genius be allowed TO
follow his own impulses instead of
being subjected to systematic teaching.
The editor has also been interested
in trends and movements in modern
music and has attempted to relate
the different composers to these, as
when the goals of the younger Ital-
ians' are discussed in the biography
of Alfredo CaSella, the neo- classical
movement in the biography of Stra-
whisky and the influence of Hungarian
folk music in the biography Of Bella
Bartok Three principles guided in
the selection of composers for in
clusion in the book: First, only living
composers are included second, their
artistic aim had to be of the highest.
and third, their work has had to
arouse sufficient curiosity either in
American or in important European
musical centers." Students Of music
can hardly afford to be without this
book in their libraries.

MY COUSIN. F. MARION CRAW-
FORD. BY Maud Howe Elliott
New York: The Macmillan Co.
ONE of the most popular of the
noveliSts of the 80S and COS.
Marion Crawford has been singularly
little written about since his death in
1909 at the age of 54. Earlier in 1884
Mrs. Winthrop Chanler his half-sister,
gave considerable space to him and his
influence over her in her autobiog-
raphy, Roman Spring" This present
volume by his cousin, Maud Howe Ell
liott, daughter of Julia Ward Howe, is
the first complete biography. 1t tells
of his personal life, but attempts no
critical study of his work. Mrs. Elliott
has had every advantage in access to
family papers and acquaintance with
relatives and intimate friends of Craw-
ford. The social and literary life Of
New York during the last quarter Of
the nineteenth century and life in the
American colony in Rome are sketched
as background. In recording Marion
CraWford'S death at Villa Crawford,
SAINT 'Agnello di Sorrento, Mrs. Elliott
laments his short life, when most of
his mothers family lived to a great
age, but his father, Thomas Crawford,
the sculptor. died at 43. Marion in
herited much that was foreign to us
from the father he could not remem-
ber. A certain headlong impetuosity,

HOUSE CHANGE SOUGHT
Straight Four-Year Terms to Be
Asked by Vinson.

A constitutional amendment pre-
scribing four-year terms for members
Of the House Of Representatives was
proposed yesterday by Representative
Vinson, Democrat. Of Georgia.
With a four-year term" said the
Georgian, the House members would
come in with the administration and
stay with the President during his
full term, They would not have to
spend so much time playing politics"
Vinson will introduce a resolution
putting the proposal before the new
Congress.
If concurred in by two-thirds vote
by each House. the resolution would
give State Legislatures seven years to
act on the amendment.

field was Campbellite or Disciples
Of Christ" preacher before he became

Campbellite Church here on Ver-
mont avenue. Andy johnson had no
particular church, though he patro-
nized a number. He was not much

Sample Verse.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat has
printed a sample of Jesse r. Grants
poetic effusions. I have one which
is published in the Georgetown
Castigator, a little country paper
son, Gen. Grant, was years old.
A local poet, known as the Back
woodsman. who wanted the leather
for pair of shoes, published the
following:
Jesse r. Grant, my loving friend,
cannot go, and therefore send
This little letter and less news
To let you know I'm out of shoes"
The doggerel then goes on at length
to say that the man could not pay
for the shoes in cash, but he would
give grain, and to describe what
sort of shoes he wanted. Gen. Grants
fater in the next number of the
Castigator published reply. A
part of it Is as follows:
'Backwoodsman, sir, my aged
friend,
These lines of answer back I send
To thank you for your rhyming
letter
Published in the Castigator.
The story of your WORKOUT shoes
Is to a tanner no strange news;
We often hear that story told.
By those whose feet are pinched
with cold,
When they apply to get some
leather
To guard against the frosty
weather.
That cash is scarce they oft COM
plain,
And wish to pay their bills in
grain.
Such pay by you is highly priced.
But is not always realized.
Ill
living:
What can't be bought must then
be given;
can at least supply a pair.
And when another pair you want,
Just drop a note to j r. Grant"
A great many misStatementS are
going the rounds about Senator Stan
ford. the California millionaire. 1t
is not true that his mind is un-
settled. 1t is not true that he is a
Spiritualist and he says there is no
foundation for the paragraph saying
that he gave $4,000 to Parson New
man for preaching his sons funeral
| sermon. Mr.. Newman, on the con-
! trary, received nothing. He happened
to be in California on a lecturing
| tour and Senator Stanford asked him,
, as an old friend, to offlciate at his
sons funeral
Senator Stanford thinks these
stories about his Spiritualism and
brain trouble may be used in case
of his sudden death to set aside his
will which bequeaths the bulk of his
immense fortune to the State of Cali
/ lornia. In this case it would be swal-
lowed up by the lawyers in endless
| litigation. The Senator is in sound
! health. he looks as well as any man
in the United States Senate and he
wishes a stop be put to these false
hoods.

THE WINTER DIVERSIONS OF A
GARDENER. BY Richardson

pincott Co.
r ICHARDSON WRIGHT, though a
garden lover, and editor of
House and Garden, is not maniac.
He does not spend his Winter in
washing rubber plants in milk or
keeping bugs off pelargoniums or
planting seeds in flats in sunny cellar
windows" He treats his garden with
the utmost kindness and conSidera-
tion, but when it is in Information he
turns to something else. sit up
with the garden until its ultimate
demise at the hands of Black Frost.
Then hectic clearing away of the
dead. Rip-roaring Autumnal suttees

leaves are heaped under old sacking
to be piled on the beds when the
ground freezes. Into the barn 60

its owner goes off for Winter di-

Wright has already written at least
one book which, because of its humor
and mellow style, even those who do
not know petunia from phlox can
read with enjoyment, The Gardeners
Bed Book" 1t was published some
years ago. but we have not vet
finished recommending it to people
for themselves or as gift to
friend. The Winter Diversions of
Gardener" somewhat more of a
book in size and less adapted to
pickup reading, has the same pleas
ant informality and conscious in
dulgence in individual eccentricities.
The reader could easily discover for
himself what Mr.. Wright tells him.
that the author wrote the papers
for his owH amusement Separated
from his garden, he studied the gar
den's past and pulled forward from
the back of his mind many of the OBJ
servations and reflections which he
had tucked away there and which
had begun to develop almost without
his knowledge. He first writes about
flower painting ladies, beginning with
the two eighteenth century ladies,
Elizabeth Blackwell and Mrs. Delany.
Elizabeth Blackwell earned enough
by drawing plants, etching them on
copper and then coloring them to
release her husband from the debtors
prison; Mary Delany, pensioned by
George III and the friend of Queen
Charlotte, at the age of "a invented
paper mosaics of flowers, Of which
she made $50.

with the botanical works written by
