"THE ROMANCE OF VICTOR HUGO
AND JULIETTE DROVET. ’ ’
3XKY WELL 1NGTON
J|| WACK, .author of “The
Story of the Free Congo
State.” has just issued
from the press of G. P.
Putnam’s Sons a delicious
hit. of historical romance in
a compilation of love let
ters from Juliette Dronet to
Victor Hugo, the French
poet, over whom she, for
over fifty years, exercised
a mental, social and physi
cal influence that never di
minished, even unto the grave.
These letters are, for the first time,
unfolded to the curious eye, they having
been, during all these years, hidden away
among the possessions of Mr. W. A. Luff,
of St. Peter Port, on the isle of Guern
sey. By the kind permission of that gen
tleman >lr. Wac/a has been enabled to
publish the correspondence, around which
he has woven a silken thread of truth
and romance with many charming de
scriptions of the island upon which Hugo
spent the years of his exile; glimpses
into the domestic environments of botli
Juliette and her lover, and other letters
that throw a red light upon the amours
of the great writer.
That Hugo should have remained under
the spelt of Juliette and she under the
Influence of his personality for one-half
a century is unprecedented in romantic
history. :See what lie writes to Mmo.
Dronet in a copy of "Litre de C'Anni-
versaire” on the fiftieth anniversary of
their entering the solemn mysterious soli
tudes of love:
“Yes, this boolc contains my life and
thine. In writing this book it seem" to
me X am adding sacred hours to our
sweet hours and eternity to our exist-
ance. I iove thee is the great word.
God said it to the creation, the creation
reports it to Him. I love thee, my beloved
angel. Ta-t us commence, the fiftieth year
With that divine word, ‘I love thee!’ ”
When one considers the iove of two
her children to do likewise and kept her
eyes apparently closed to the situation
with wifely appreciation of the needs of
her lord’s nature. That she suffered in
tensely, however, there is no doubt, for
her cousin, M. Asseline, repeats a story
of finding her sad and in tears one day
at Hautville home, the home of the Hu
gos’, while the men of her family were
making a merry dinner party at Mme.
Dronet’s. On this occasion the wife ask
ed her cousin to write for her the quota
tion :
“Time, the old god. Invests all things
with honor and makes all things white.”
Evidently 'in her mind the lines applied
to her husband and Julieite.

fragrance at its heart even though the

yet such was the affection between Vic
tor Hugo gnd Mme. Dronet.
It is a remarkable fact that, although,
the mistress of Hugo was a woman of
wonderful charm of face and feature, no
record of her beauty remains in pictured
lines save one inferior drawing by Villain.
Hugo wrote to Juliette Dronet on her
failure to please her critics in the role of

Mr. Wack has dealt with his theme
most delicately. He touches upon the re

brush so fine that one sees only the
marvel of a passion that endured ever
lastingly upon the restless changes of
the human heart.
For the author of “The Romance of
Victor Hugo apd Juliette Dronet" there
is a future bright with the sunlight of
success. Already Mr. Wack has opened
the storehouse of his mental treasures,
rich with the flowers of the south, clean

past generation there iias been deeper
and more painstaking research by schol

had been found before during the Chris
tian era. Not only tha

tempter into their work, too, that, while
giving us at times uneasiness, has re

“If the democratic idea, that lays
large stress upon the individual, that is
sweeping round the world, and tiie sci
entific spirit, that calls everything into
question, have, on the one hand, lessen
ed the authority of priests and councils,
they have, on the other hand, given a
firmer grasp on the great fundamentals
of truth, righteousness and godliness;
they have brought the words of Jesus
to the world’s attention as never before,
and this is a wholesome result.
"It seems that the time, then, is ripe
to take tiie discourses of Jesus and dis-
dlay the connected and symmetical sys

Tiie book is a decided contribution to

Dronet? Her real name, Mr. Wack. tells
us, was Julienne Josaphine Gauvin,
an actress, for the talents of whom Hugo
had more appreciation than the play-
going public. She had beauty and she
had lovers before she met Hugo, but
with that meeting her past was closed
and a new future of delight was opened
to the two impetuous spirits, a future
which began on the 17th of February,
1833, and of which Hugo wrote:
“That day I spent eight hours with

it is intended, in grammar or lower
high school grades, either as a history or

shows clearly the continuity of history,
presenting the subject in chronological

and effect. Thus the book is divided
into three parts: I. “The Colonial
Period;” TI. “The Revolutionary Period;”
TTI. “The Development Period.” At
tiie same time. Interest in the subject
is increased by the use of the biographi

(Houghton, Miffiin & Co.) will establish
his position yet more firmly. Dr. Hen
derson is in harmony with the trend of
the most advanced and authoritative
thought in holding with the Greeks rath
er than with the Germans that there
can be no conflict between genuine, in
dividual happiness and true social wel
fare. Good fortune—the attainment of
happiness and true worth in social effi
ciency—is, he holds, an experience, not
an abstraction: and he believes, as he
says finely, that “only those who live
can say anything very helpful about life.”
Accordingly his book is not meant so
much for the tecnical moralist, though

ciety are graphic and authoritative, the
plot itself turns on motives elemental
in human nature. "Memoirs of an Amer

more popular appeal than any of his pre

fifty illustrations. "The Storm Center.”
the first novel to appear for some time
from the pen of Charles Egbert Craddock,
is said to be brighter and more engaging
than much of her previous work. “The
House of Cards,” by Major John Heigh,
is described as a very strong story of a
somewhat unusual kind; and “Mrs. Dar
rell,” by Foxcroft Davis, is an exception
ally lively and readable story of political
and social life in Washington, written
with a light touch and in a manner like
ly to appeal to feminine readers.
“Russia must be kept frozen that it
may not grow putrid.” This axiom of
Russian autocracy demands quotation
from tiie book entitled “The Case of Rus
sia,” a composite view, just pulished by
Fox, Duffield &. Co., New York. One of
the most interesting chapters in -.ne vol
ume is an analysis of the beliefs and
motives of the circle of autocrats to
whom the immediate destinies of Russia
are handed over. The ultimate conflict
between the autocratic group and the
peasantry depends upon the awakening
of the Moujik, the analysis of whose char
acter is an interesting feature of the
present volume.
The ninth volume of the Jewish Ency
clopedia ranges from the Morawczyk
family of Polish scholars that flourished
during the sixteem... and seventeenth
centuries, to that Philippson, German
authors and scientists whose members
lived in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. This volume is especially rich
in material pertaining to Jewish history.
The notable articles of the volume may
be cited as: “Moses,” "Moses ben Mai-
mon,” “New Testament’’ and “Pales
tine.” Especially important to American
literature ,>%e tiie records concerning the
Jews of “New Orleans.” “Newport,”
“New York” and “Philadelphia.” The
history of Jewish activity in the states
of Now Hampshire, Now Jersey, New
York, Oregon and Pennsylvania is placed
on record here for the first time in a
systematic way.
Mrs. Mary Austin has evidently been
a close student of the early mission days
of old California, for her novel, "Isidro,”
will be found to “be an historically cor
rect and fair picture of the times. The
flight of men and beasts before the great
forest fire at the story's climax is a piece
of description not likely to be forgotten

Tiie attention lately paid Russian
writers by The Critic is continued in the
May number by an anonymous article
on “A Glance Backward at Ivan Tur-
genieff and His Work. “There were only
ten years between the births of Turge-
nieff and Count Tolstoi; but .the latter
seems more than a generation the young
er.” Turgenieff was a knight-errant
iu search of the monster, serfdom, and
when the object of his quest died, his
energy relaxed. Tolstoi, on the other
hand, with advancing years has grown
more vital and distinct in his aims.

HOLY STONE.
(From Pearson’s Weekly )
The holystone is a soft stone used
by sailors for ssru-bbing decks and i s
said to have got Its name because It
was onignally used solely for Sunday
cleaning. Others assert that the first
stones used for this purpose were taken
from churchyards, while it is also said
to get the name from the fact that a
sailor has to go on his knees to use It.

Although every Swiss is a born hotel

the fact that hotel keeping can be over-

travel constantly in the country, report
