Why Not Girl Waiters?

such an intensely southern locality

Of course, veteran travelers in
other parts of the country, especial

that the girl waiter is quite the most

Miss Desmond, by Merle von Voret.
New York. The Macmlltlan Com

The sub-title of this brilliant young
'author’s new novel Is “An impres
j sion." and a very vivid Impression It
must have been to have enabled the
writer to present It In so strikingly
: virile a form for the reader.
Miss von Voret has now enviable
j distinction for herself along several
lines of literary achievement, hut in
nothing hns she succeeded so admira
bly as in portraying, in this, her latest
.hook, a womanly type of woman. Her
“Miss Itesmond” is no saint, neither
does she even remotely resemble a
sinner. She Is a beautiful woman
who does not know the power of her
beauty, because her whole youth has

•dwelling where “Miss Desmond'* had
cloistered, dusting the family tradi
tions and keeping what blots she
could from the 'scutcheon!
Her education, cultured and limited,
had been made under private tutors,
her reading consisting of the classics,
the poets and the standard novels.
The treatment of life by certain au
thors she shrank from as distinctly
as she acknowledged to herself that
[She was charmed by it. The poems
of Edgar Allan Poe, for instance, Rho
had not permitted herself to reread
since one day when she had come
upon them unawares. Their violent,
beauty terrified, at the same time
that it absorbed her, and the volume
was put by in her bureau drawer

Dante, the Wayfarer.
One of the latest books on Dante
Is that called “Dante, the Wayfarer,"
:hy Christopher Hare, who has al
ready written more than one book
; upon Italian subjects of the renais
sance period. This t.elis the story
[of Dante's wanderings after his ban
fishment from Florence, following
him through the cities of southern
Italy from one refuge to another in
| his long exile, and telling by quota
1 tions from the poems the story of
'the men and women he met hy the
wav and the social and political life
of the cities he visited.
Mr. Hare carefully traces Dante's
j course across thp Apennines to Ver
lonn, Bologna, Padua. Mulazzo, and
i l.uooa. then to Marseilles and Paris,
passing through Arles and Avignon,
then hack to Italy to many differ
ent towns. Assisi, Verona. Venice,
and finally Ravenna. The titles of
some of thp chapters are “The Flor
ence of Dante," "Travel in the Mid
dle Ages.” "The Birds of liante,"
“Dante as an Alphine Climber," “The
Highway of the Rea," and "Raven
na, the l-ast Refuge." There arc a
number of illustrations of places and
scenes along the route of the pil
grimage.
General Bingham on Steffens.
1 Gen. Theodore Bingiiarr.. New
York's new police commissioner,
says that his Interest in social prob

much as Mayor McClellan’s request

I ment Is the thing by which we re
going to stand or fall."
Steffens' latent article is on Mayor
(Kagan of Jersey City, and his fight,
against the Jersey bosses for an hon

him.

Elliott Flower has a happy way of

Notes and Comment
An Interesting Resemblance.
Friends of both men frequently re
mark upon the striking resemblance
between William Gillette, the actor
playwright, and Meredith Nicholson,
the author of "The House of a Thou
sand Candles." Mr. Gillette is con
siderably older than Mr. Nicholson
and, when uncovered, hts gray hair
gives a marked note of difference,
but their features nre much alike
and they have the name deep-set
eyes. Last winter In a Washington
hotel, Mr. Nicholson found himself
observed rather more than was com
fortable one evening, where one of
those people who always know cele
brities had passed the word that the
serious, smooth shaven gentleman
wh*> wan dining alone rather som
berly in a corner of the room was
William Gillette. Mr. Nicholson
did not what was the trouble
until later a young woman approach
ed him in the hotel office, called
him Mr. Gillette ami asked for lbs
autograph. An arlor known to both
men once asked Mr. Nicholson's per
mission to "make him up” for “Sher
lock Holmes." A little dab of power
on the hair, the deepening of the
lines of the face, and a dressing gown
like thal worn hy the famous deter
tive thrown over Mr. Nicholson and
the author might have walked Into
the famous rooms in Raker street
without awaking suspicion In the
mind of "my dear Watson.”

William Sharp on Keat*.
The new« of William Sharp's death
in Sicily reached this country just
as his article on "The Portraits of

February Century. Quickly follow

announcement that the dead essayist,
editor and man-of-letters was the
writer of the many notable contrl
ever his brush had carried him— ho
had all the warmth of his blazing
logs in his grasp and all the snap of

attractive volume, and to many an

writers that the author has drnwn to
gether for the render's benefit, and
the artistic atmosphere - especially
when created by such a master as
Hopklnson-Smith is pretty sure to
produce some good effects.
“The Wood Fire In No. S" Is prim
arily a man's book. Innsmuch as most
of Its stories and sketches deal with |
such subjects as make a more direct

universal Interest are the dainty love
stories woven in here and there, es

In her charming romance of the

succeeded in telling a thoroughly read ,
able love-story, but she hds painted a
vivid and virile series of pictures of
the beautiful islands of the far-dis
tant scenes, in which can he felt all

fairy scenes, and nlmost personally ex
perience the peculiarity of the
strange customs.
One knows beyond question that It
is of real scenes the ailthoi 1 writes,
and of actual experiences In these
scenes, odd touches of humor and
quaint lilts of pathos adding greatly
to the power of conviction. The pleas
ing love-story is made doubly inter
esting by its frequent, curiosity-com
pelling reference to the story presum
ably coming before.
Miss Chamblln has a fascinating'
style entirely her own, possibly not i
flawlessly correct from a purely schol ]
arlv standpoint, but pre-eminently j
readable and altogether satisfactory
from the standpoint of those who read
for the sake of entertainment.

clever drawings, and Its many suc
