Life and Letters (Continued from page 25) deserves a notice in approximate terms of itself. Fraulein Else, on a visit to her aunt at a fashionable hotel in the Austrian Tyrol, receives a special delivery letter from her mother announcing that her father, a brilliant lawyer whose finat- cial escapades have gradually alienated all lenders, must have thirty thousand gu'den within three days or be sent to prison. All possible sources have been jlingly tapped, and it is the “s suggestion that Else, nineteen xquisite, get the money from Herr sday, @ contemporary and former benefactor of her father who is also hotel. That is all of the story h should be told here. Schnitzler presents the desperate child's situation in the new manner, and with a poignancy which often makes the reader feel as if he were an unhelp- shade at her side. Robert A. Simon's translation from the German is a good one. lr T Know Wuat I Mean,” by Elsie Janis (Putnam), calls into ques- tion whether or not it is quite fair for the gods to have bestowed so many tal- ents on one person, but inasmuch as the popers in this book prove that they be- stowed a good deal of common sense on her as well, perhaps no complaints woll be registered. They cover a va- ricty of subjects, and are written with an informal cheerfulness out of Elsie’s own experience. One of them is about s. Janis, whose faithful shepherding ner daughter has long been a matter { comment. From it we learn that nice when a foreigner asked an Amer- n if there were any institutions in r country similar to something they vere discussing, the American answered, yes. We have the Statue of Lib- and Elsie Janis’s mother.” Henry Cottins Brown's “The Last y Years in New York,” the tenth ame of Valentine's Manual, is ue- htful. How well Mr. Brown has embled the high lights of the period is covering, and what positive genius he has displayed in gathering the illus- ions for his text! Not the least interesting amongst the latter are the «productions from two or three maga- ines identified with the period’s devel- opment, and, blushing modestly, it gives this department pleasure to mention that Lire and Mr. Charles Dana Gibson come in for a fair share of the glory.
