Morning Chat Ctlvc I'lctarea liest. Atter all tho most ingenious people in this world are those who have the precious faculty of concocting variety. Along with March sunshine, naturally, the subject of spring house-cleaning comes to the front. "Do you know what I do every March?" asked an Indianapolis woman whose talent as a pleasant home-maker Is undisputed. "I have every picture In the house taken down, dusted and put in a large storeroom we have. Edmund Russell, you know.says that we all have pictures on our walls that we haven't looked at for twenty years, but I did not get my Idea from him; I evolved it myself from discovering how tiresome even our most precious pictures become. Some of my pictures I have fairly hated just because they were so monotonously in the same place all tho . time. : Of course, bare walls look rather curious, but they rest and refresh the eye to a wonderful extent. BesIJesy it gives all my callers something to talk about. Their comments to me are so queer; and then they all fco off and say how queer I am. "After houe-cleanlng all the pictures come back again, and we enjoy them äs If they were new especially if hung in new places. Without an occasional change in position pictures often affect us as they did the little girl who announced after Christmas that she hated two things 'turkey soup and madonnas.

It Is a noble idea to collect portraits of women who have gained fame for their work, for art, for literature, for science, for their conntry and for their sex Think of the faces that should look from the paintings, pastels and fhotoKraphs In the great gallery upon the thousands who will attend the fair! Ignorant of woman's work, or, careless and Indifferent, men, women and children would be affected and elevated by portraits of Dorothea Dix. Maria Mitchell. Emma Willard. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Charlotte Cushman. Emma Iazarus. Sarah Hale, IouIsa Alcott and countless ethers who miht be named. But stop: The women's hall of fame Is not to contain the pictures of famous women; it is to show the "prominent representatives of fashionable society" In every American city. Well, the result is the same, of course, for all fashionable women are great and good, and work unselfishly for their country. Of course. Mrs. This will represent New York and Mrs. That will stand for Boston and Mrs. The Othtr for Philadelphia, and so on. It will be a real education for the masses to see portraits of the fashionable women whose presence at dinners at home and abroad, at entertainments here and balls there. I chronicled so fully In the papers. It will be much wire Interesting to tee a nice photograph of Mrs. Smith-Jones, whose dinners and divorce take up o much space, than to look at pictures of Margaret Fuller, and the woman who gave (ler.eral (Irant the tip about Island.

If thf fair authorities will send us a twocent stamp we will name several photographers who can supply good pictures without their having to bother about writing to the representative fashionable women.

To-Day' Schedule. GRAND. High-class vaudeville, 2:15 and S:l." p. m. PARK. "East Lynne," 2 and S p. m. EMPIRE. Burlesque. 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Variety, 3 and 8 p. m. The Grand's new vaudeville programme, which will be given its first hearins this afternoon, promises to be one of the best offered at that theater in several weeks. Tho principal attraction will be the team of fun-makers. Eddie Garvey and Mollie Thompson, known throughout the country as delightful entertainers. They will present a laughable sketch called "Wanted A Partner." which has scored a hit in the Eastern vaudeville houses. Eddie Garvey has the reputation of being one of the funniest comedians on the vaudeville stage, ftnd he has a clever assistant in Miss Thompson. Their new vehicle is said to give both of them excellent opportunities for the display of their mirth-provoking ability. Menifee Johnson will be the secorid "headline r" on the bill. He will be insisted by Miss Belle Stoddart in a playlet entitled "The Golden Rose," which is credited with being a very interesting little comedy. An act of novelty will be that furnished by T. Nelson Downs, who has few equals as a sleight-of-hand performer. Nearly all of his tricks nre played with coins, his manipulation of silver dollars and half-dollars being little short of marvelous. He has Just returned to this country after a highly successful tour of England, France and Germany. "The Bijou Circus" is the name of an uproarious specialty that will be given by Burto, Lowando and Wilson, and other acts in the entertainment will be contributed by the famous Marco Twins, grotesque acrobats; Young and De Vole, in a singing and dancing specialty; Orville and Frank, in a gymnastic exhibition, and Lew Hawkins, the monologulst. A new series of attractive bioscope pictures will round out the programme. 4 f Dan Daly, the favorite comedian, who died of consumption in New York the night before last, belonged to the celebrated Daly family of comedians and dancers. At one time all of the Dalys appeared togetherit was about fifteen years ago in a musical farce called "Vacation," playing an engagement in this city at the Grand Opera House, and a more agile lot of funmakers never was seen on one stage. The Daly family soon drifted apart, though most of them continued to appear as performers either in vaudeville or comedy. Lizzie Daly, the dancer, is Dan Dalys sister, and Vlnnlo Daly, the soubrette, Is his nelce. it was not generally known that Dan Daly was at one time an acrobat, but the writer remembers a dance which he used to do in the days of the farce, "The' City Directory," in which he introduced a series of surprising acrobatic "stunts." Of late years he portrayed "swell" characters nearly altogether, and his mock dignity and tremendous gravity of manner never failed to cause laughter. In all of the New York Casino reviews, such as "The Whirl of the Town," "The Belle of New York" and "The Rounders," he appeared as a very serious sort of individual, but always managed to startle his audience by one of his unexpected dances during the performance. Daly was in the very prime of his career at the time of his death, as he was just about to star in a. musical production that was being prepared for him. He copied no one, his style of funmaking being original in the extreme. The first attraction of the week at English's will be Nat C. Goodwin in one of his most successful comedies, "A Gilded Fool," which was expres3ly written for him by Henry Guy Carlton. Mr. Goodwin will come Wednesday night for a single performance and seats for the engagement will be placed on sale at English's box office this morning. The favorite comedian's art, now fully ripe, and his accomplishments, thoroughly rounded, find in this play of American life congenial fields for their exploitation, but it is useless to go into superlatives, as every playgoer knows Nat Goodwin's position In the histrionic world and knows, too, that he never had a better play than "A Gilded Fool." The company which is to support Goodwin here Is a very well-balanced one, according to all accounts, and Judging from the excellent reputations of some of the players the cast should be more than equal to all requirements. Chrystal Herne, daughter of the late James A. Heme, the actor-dramatist, is the leading woman of the organization. She has not been seen-in this city since she played the role of the heroine in "Shore Acres," with her father as the kindly Uncle Nat Berry. Others In the Goodwin company are Mary Blythe, Suzzette Jackson, Helen Davidge, Estelle Mortimer, Neil O'Brien, Fred Tilden. Hugo Toland. Frank Mclntyre, William H. Post and William Burress. It was decided last Saturday that Henry W. Savage's "Prince of rilsen" company would sail from New York for London the last day of April. Another decision equally important was to the effect that in the organization there should not be any performer who did not claim America as his home. Those interested in the enterprise are willing to win or lose with a strictly American product. For the same reason there will In? no alterations In the libretto or score of the piece, as Is usually done when a production is transferred internationally. Even the references to "Cincinnati" made by the German comedian will be retained. This is as it should be. When a Indon musical comedy is given in this country the comedians do not eliminate all allusions to English places and things, for American audiences have enough sense to appreciate local color. The outcome of this new experiment will be interesting. Strange as it may seem, it Is a fact that only about one out of every dozen persons who will witness "The Prince of Pilsen" in London possesses any knowledge of the geography of this country. The Rogers Brothers will be at English's Friday and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee, presenting the sixth musical farce of the McNally series "The Rogers Brothers In London." The music for the new piece was written by Max Hoffman and Melville Ellis and is credited with being brighter than any of the melodies ever heard before in a show of this class. The company consists this season of sixtysix people, and the chorus girls are said to b the prettiest ever got together by Klaw & Erlanger, which is saying a good deal. Unique specialty features form one of the attractive parts of the new production. Every principal will be seen in a specialty of some kind. The cast Includes Jre Coyne. Lee Harrison. Melville Kllis. George Austin Moore, William J. Cale, James Cherry. Harry Brown. Lillian Coleman. Carrie Reynolds, Neva Aymar. Sue Stewart, May B. Wood. Frances Tyson, William Torpey and Arthur Gibson. The sale of sear.s for the three performances will begin to-morrow morning. - Alice Fisher, the well-known Indiana comedienne, who was last seen In this city m the comedy, "Mrs. Jack." has been selected by Manager Fred C. Whitney to play the principal feminine part In his big musical production with the. curious title of "Piff. Paff. Pouf," which is to have its initial performance at the New York Casino next Saturday night. May Robson, the character actress, was originally engaged for the role, which Is that of a society leader, but. according to reiort, she and Mr. Whitney failed to agree as to th proper Interpretation of the character, and when she insisted that she would either have her own way or resign the manager decided that the resignation would be preferable. Miss Fisher, who Is nothing if not thoroughly artistic In her fun-making methods. Is expected to score a great success in the part which has been allotted her so unexpf ctedly. Since Ir.et Foreman presented "East Lynne" at the Park last summer there have been some important changes in her company. J. Frazler Crosby at that time w.-ts playing the part of the villainous Sir Francis Levison. but he has withdrawn from the glare of the footlights, and is now Miss Foreman's manager, Vernon Homers taking his place In the cast. John Dillon, one of the famous actors of comedy p;irts of other days, has Joined the company to lend weight to this phase of the piece. He was known during his time as an artist of Infinite humor, and with his advancing years is said to take up the action of "East Lynne" with his old-time spirit. The play leans heavily upon its scenic lnvesture and elalorate accessories, and it was these features which added much to the worth of the production as presented here last summer. The com-

rJ- vX" .;. v t j i - a 1 EDDIE GARVEY. Who Will Appear In a Comedy Sketch at the Grand This Week. pany comes to the Park again to-day to remain through Wednesday. The Empire's attraction for the week, opening with the matinee to-day, will be the Transatlantic Burlesque Company, an organization that is said to have enjoyed a prosperous season in New York at the opening of the theatrical year. The management claims that the show will rank with the best burlesque entertainments on the road at the present time. It is understood that there Is a large chorus of pretty girls who can both sing and dance. A musical travesty and a vaudeville olio will make up the programme. Specialties will be given by the Taylor Trio of gymnasts; Mitchell and Cain, singing comedians, who are well known to Empire audiences; Kino and Gotthold, burlesquers, in a farce called "A Medical Discovery," Ben Jansen, In a new act, and Josie and Willie Barrows, who will appear in an original specialty. The long-awaited premiere of Mme. ReJane's new play, "La Montansier," took placo in Paris last Thursday evening and the piece proved a great success. The great French comedienne thinks that she has found in it another 'Sans Gene." Both she and M. Coquelin achieved unqualified success In the play, according to a cabled account of the performance. Llebler & Co., the American managers, have been awaiting the result of the presentation in Paris to arrange Mme. Rejane's repertoire for her tour under their management next season. They now announce that "La Monbinsler" will be the first play to be acted by Mme. ReJane In New York next fall. It is understood that James K. Hackett Is endeavoring to arrange for a joint starring tour with his wife, Mary Mannering, this summer that will take in all of the principal cities of the Pacific coast and give the two popular players a long season in San Francisco. The Pacific metropolis is now one of the best "show towns" in the United States, and the playgoers of "Frisco are eager to see Mr. Hackett and Miss Mannerlng together in a series of plays. The two have not appeared in the same company since "The Princess and the Butterfly," given in 1898. Frizl Scheff, the little German prima donna, will begin her first Chicago engagement to-night at the Illinois Theater and indications point to a highly successful run for the popular singer and her comic opera, "Babette." which was written exFressly for her by Victor Herbert and larry B. Smith. Her charm of personality and marked musical and histrionic ability are said to be displayed to better advantage in this romantic operatta than in any of the grand operas In which she was formerly heard. "CHIMBS OF NORMANDY. The announcement of the production of Robert Planquette's "Chimes of Normandy" at English's Opera House on Friday evening, April 8, by the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music Choral Society, will appeal to the many who witnessed the excellent production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Mikado" by this society last year. The chorus Is under the direction of Edgar M. Cawley, head of the conservatory, and the speaking parts will be cared for by Mrs. Harriet Augusta Trunk. Mr. Harry Porter, who will sing the part of Gaspard, will have charge of the stage management. Special interest centers around Mr. Christian Frederick Martens, a newcomer to this city, who will take the part of Henri, Marquis of Corneville. Mr. Martens has a part especially suited to him, and much can be expected from him in this appearance. A new set of costumes has been especially made to order for this occasion by A. W. Tarns, of New York. The cast of characters is as follows: Serepolette, the good-for-nothing Miss Dorathea Smith Germaine, the lost marchioness Miss A. Litta Grimm Gertrude Miss Mary C. Trees Jeanne Miss Nellie Butler Manette Miss Blanche M. Page Suzanne Miss C. Jean Wright Henri, Marquis of Corneville Mr. Christian Frederick Martens Jean Grenicheaux, a fisherman . Mr. J. W.

Skirts tucked at their upper portions and falling in soft folds at the lower are among the most fashionable and most graceful worn. This one has' much to commend it and is adapted to the entire range of suiting materials, but is shown in lightweight homespun of mixed tans and browns with threads of red stitched with corticelli silk. The perfectly smooth fit over the hips is especially desirable and gives a yoke effect that is much liked. The skirt is circular and is laid in gradu4C89 Circular Tucitd Skirt, 22 to 20 waist ated tucks that are generously wide at the lower edges while they are mere points at the upper and which turn backward, so giving a narrow panel effect at the front.

In the Blsliop'w Carrlne. The reader who opens this book and runs over a few pages will find that he has fallen upon something quite unique, and when he has read a little further, as he is sure to do. he will discover that he Is following the narrative with a breathless interest quite in keeping with its sv.ift action. Nance Olden, the heroine, tci!s her own story, and it is the story of a born actress, though her best acting is not done upon the stage. She Is a waif from what she calls the "Cruelty," which is another name for the S. P. C. C, and she is not in good company when Fhe first Introduces herself In fact, she is in partnership with a burglar, a brutal fellow, whom she idolizes because he has been kind to hT when most people she has known have been the reverse. She gets out of one scrape after another because she Is quick witted and can act any part that suggests itself to her as desirable at the moment. How she gets away from the influence of the burglar, how readily she responds to better intluences, being really good at heart, how she finally reaches the place she was born for the stage and wins success there, all these things are told in the rapid, eager, sprightly style In which such a girl would be likely to talk. She is slangy at first, indeed rather rough in speech, as is natural in such environment; but with her quick adaptiveness she mends her manners and language as she learns the ways of the world, and at the end Is rpuite the grand lady without being the less genuine. The story has the merit of novelty and of furnishing a character quite new in contemporary fiction, but not the least of its attractions is the cleverness of the literary style suited precisely to the theme and the keen and witty comments on certain institutions and conditions. It seems probable that the author has had a direct acquaintance with the stage else she could not have written of It with. such familiarity. The thrusts at the theater trust are as direct as if aimed at a mark, and the pictures of happenings behind the scones are too vivid not to have been drawn from life. Altogether "In the Bishop's Carriage" offers a refreshing change from the stereotyped novi of the day. It is light and gay, though with all its sprightliness and cheer an undercurrent of seriousness and once a touch of tragedy. And with all its vivacity it Is a story to make its readers think for instance, of the "Cruelty" and of. the hardship of waifs brought up in public institutions. Miss Miriam Michelson, the author, lias united snse, sentiment and humor In a very happy way and deserves credit for the combination. The book, which is attractively bound and printed, is illustrated by Harrison Fisher, who, unlike most Illustrators, seems to have read the text before making his elrawings.

When IVIIdernea Wnn King:. The McClurgs have published a new historical novel of the Illinois country by a new author Randall Parrish. The writer is a lawyer and a newspaper man of varied experience and mature years, but, although he has contributed to the magazines, this i3 his first venture into the field of fiction. The story is founded on one of the most thrilling incidents of the frontier the famous Fort Dearborn massacre. The majority of the characters' are drawn from history, but tne historic facts in no part hinder the progress of the romance which is purely .Ictitlous and fascinating. John Wayland. the hero of the book,- sets out for Fort Dearborn at the beginning, in search of a young girl who has been intrusted to his father's care. lie falls in with a gentleman adventurer, Captain De Croix, and later with a band of Miami Indians. Then he finds Tolnette. the remarkable heroine of the story. His troubles begin, and a sad time of it he has with his capricious lady love. They reach Fort Dearborn, and from that time on the tale is one of thrilling perils and hairbreadth escapes from the Jaws of death. John is captured, but escapes; he rescues Tolnette from her savage captors, and fortune smiles on him once more. The whole 6tory is that of a man who loves passionately a woman ho cannot find; she is so Often separated from him and seemingly hopelessly lost that his meetings with her are mere glimpses of happiness. Antoinette Is a piquant character and well portrayed; the French soldier of fortune is scarcely less delightful. The strong, sober-minded frontiersman has the sympathy of the reader from the start, and all this helps to make up a story of absorbing Interest. A tender love story softens a tale of continuous adventure, and the combination is a happy one. Not the leaöt remarkable feature of the book is found In the illustrations in color by the Klnnzys. These artists drew the remarkable pictures for "The Thrall of Lief the Lucky" and later "The Ward of King Canute," the two popular books by Miss Lilyincrantz. The cover design, too, is striking, and the whole book a good example of attractive, modern bookmaklng. The title is reminiscent of that of Major's historical novel, and like it was taken from a verse of poetry. Benjamin F. Taylor's poem, "Chicago," contains the lines: "I saw a dot upon the map, and a houselly's filmy wing They said 'twas Dearborn's picket flag, when Wilderness was king." A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago. Great Folk of Old Mnrylebone. An attractive little book has just been printed by Henry J. Glaisher, Cavendish square, London, called "Great Folk of Old Marylebone." The author, Mrs. Baillie Saunders, wife of the present rector of Marylebone Church, has lived for a number of years in the place about which she writes. Mrs. Saunders's task has been one of love. To her the gracious ghosts of Marylebone are real. She says the town is fragrant with visions of immortal men and women "as an old garden is drowsily aromatic with Virginia-stocks and musk," and that her desire in writing has been "to portray and gather in simple form those dear great folk." The desire has been fulfilled. The book is simple and unpretentious, and all the more charming for its simplicity. Reading it is like walking about in the town with a lovingly garrulous resident who delights in pointing out the places where lived Dr. Johnson, Macready, Dickens, Turner, Mrs. Thrale and others. Mrs. Saunders talks happily of the old town when it was a mere village; of how it got its name; of Its gardens, taverns, churches, customs, people. The closing paragraph is illustrative: "Out of the solemn procession of gray ghosts of Marylebone, many voices echo to us down the years the sonorous voice of old Samuel Johnson in stern warning and exhorting to duty, truth and right; the clarion voice of Browning to energy; the laughing voice of Dickens, with the sound of tears In It, to charity and humanity; the gentle voice of Elizabeth Barrett Browning to earthly love; the angel volet of Adelaide Anne Proctor to divine love. Elizabeth Montagn sends a grave summons to wisdom; Sarah Wesley to Christian wifehood and lovely womanliness; James Boswell to perfect friendship; William Turner to steady Industry, and lltt. Uurke and Hogarth to manly public spirit and social reiorm. So every voice speaks to us its own ppeclal teaching and lesson, an innumerable cloud of witnesses, and last but not least the herald voice of the divine Charles Wesley, sloping down the years distances those deathless hymns which are a trumpet call to brotherly love and unity." Imiiik, Fail and Fhken. A book has just come from the Ilollenbeck Press which will be of interest to the reading and thinking people of Indianapolis. "Isms, Fads and Fakes," by Jasper Newton Field, is a very attractive little volume of 2C7 pages and treats of sixteen of the leading "isms" of the day. Among the subjects considered are Spiritualism. McrmonIsm, Anarchism. Dowieism and Indifferentism or Criminal Neglect. The. author is an Indiana man. now pastor of the First Baptist Church of Fort Wayne, probably the largest Baptist Church and one of the largest of any denomination in the State. The addresses were originally prepared for his own congregation with no thought of their publication. However, they attracted such widespread attention that the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette published them In full every week, and a general demand for their publication In book form followed. This Is the first book which Mr. Field has given to the public, but he has long enjoyed In his own denomination the reputation of being a clear thinker and a forceful speaker. The book is listed at Jl net and Is on sale in the leading Indianapolis stores. Another Book by George Ado. Under the title of "Breaking Into Society" George Ade has collected into a volume a score or more of his "fables" having to do with the social struggle. Like

all this author's sketches they show intimate acquaintance with human nature and keen powers of observation. They are amusing studies of contemporary life and afford the means of passing a pleasant hour. Mr. Ade's, humor is Irreristlble to American readers, even through Andrew lng Is bewildered by It. Harper & Brothers, New York.

Current Periodicals. A series of satirical papers on "Our Best Society," as seen la New York, Newport and other fashionable centers, will be begun in the April number of the Critic. The author of these papers prefers to withhold his name, for the present at anv rate, but it is admitted by the publishers tiat he is a successful novelist and a well-known contributor to the leading magazines. The frontispiece of the April number of the International Studio is a beautiful reproduction of a picture by James McNeill Whistler, entitled "The Blue Girl." reproduced in this number in colored lithographv by Thomas R. Way. The article of special interest to American readers is Charles II. Baffin's fully illustrated critique on the exhibition of the Society of Western Artists, now on view at Cincinnati and en route for various of the Eastern cities. Among other interesting items of information the Stamp Page of the April St. Nicholas will tell of the new issue of stamps shortly to appear for the Kingdom of Italy. The essays which have been prepared for these new stamps are said to celebrate the discoveries of Marconi in the 1 and 2-cent values. The 5-cent bears a picture showing tho flight of swallows, while in the 10-cent the king's head is shown with the high peaks of the Alps behind it, and in the 23-cent stamp his head appears in the center of a map which shows the position of the Kingdomof Italy on the earth. There are four color pictures in the April Century: "The Easter Hymn," frontispiece, by Violet Oakley; "The Easter Bonnet," by Anna Whelan Betts, and drawings by Maxfield Parrish, of the famous Villa d'Este at Tivoli and the pool of the i!la d'Este. These, last two Illustrate, with other drawings hi black and white by Mr. Parrish, Edith Wharton's paper ou "Villas Near Rome." The wood cut in Timothy Cole's Old Spaciish Masters series is Morales's ."Madonnu of the Little Bird." Another notable feature of the issue is a double-page drawing, by Jules Guerin. of "Easter in Greeley Square, New York City," showing the ilower market in its Easter array. Under title of "The Great Siberian Railway," James W. Dm-idsou, F. R. G. S., United States consul at An-Tung, Manchuria, gives much information in the April Century about "the greatest railway which the world has ever seen." Travelers on the great Siberian Railway find the many days on the train wonderfully comfortable. For its passengers the train de luxe plans to provide brass bedsteads, private toilet rooms, baths, gymnasium, electric fans and lights; steam heat and a handsomely furuished4 drawiug room. Mr. Davidson estimates' that one may enjoy all this luxuiy from Paris to Dalny or Peking for not over $280, including sleeper, food and all incidental expenses. A dairy farmer in Pennsylvania, whose wonderful success Was described in Professor L. H. Bailey's series of articles in Country Life in America on "How to Make a Living from the Land," has now been approached by the United States Department of Agriculture, which wishes to make his farm the subject of a bulletin on model farming. He objects, however, to making his place the Mecca of brother agriculturists the country over, unless the government will pay him $20,000 down or the same sum in $2.000 annual installments for his trouble. He began with fifteen acres of ground that would not support two cows and a horse. Now the same land supplies food for thirty-five cows and two horses, bringing him a large income from the place. It is one of the most remarkable instances of practical results of model farming In this country, as Country Life in America points out. Anionic the PubllMher. Eleven novels, a work on invalid cookery and a new edition of a standard authority on the clog, comprise Little, Brown & Co.'s spring announcements. Robert Louis Stevenson's "Prayers Written at Vailima" will be published by the Scribners this month in a small volume suggesting, in size and general appearance, the "Acs Triplex" and the "Christmas Sermon," recently published. Horace Howard Furness, sr., whose monumental work, the Variorum Edition of Shakspeare's plays, is everywhere known, is rapidly completing the preparation of "love's Labor Lost," which is to be the next volume to be added to this edition, of which J. Ii. Lippincott Company are the publishers. The title of Maeterlink's new book will be "The Double Garden." This title indicates that the contents of the book will be of two sorts: first, pastorals, dealing with flowers, bees, the dogr etc.; and. second, philosophical or mystic essays. The book will be issued in this country by Dodd, Meade & Company in the spring. Mrs. Wiggin's "Rebecca," according to reports in the American and English Bookmn, stood among the three or four best selling books during the month of February in the United States, England and Scotland. The. publishers. Houghton. Mlftiin & Company, state that they have Just had to send the book to press for the tenth time, making the total number of copies 120,000. Among the new Macmillan books is one on "Trout Fishing," by Mr. W. Earl Hodgson. An attractive feature of the volume is "The Book of Flies," which consists In colored plates for each fishing month in the year, showing the appropriate lures of the month as they would look in the angler's fly book. Besides his Instructions, Mr. Hodgson tells many good stories. Doubleday, Page & Co. publish this month Volume 1 of "The Poultry Book." containing the nine parts which have been Issued consecutively, about one a month, for the last year. The color illustrations are by Harrison Weir, while the many hundreds of photographs also have a great practical value in a book which aims to be the complete and comprehensive work on the raising of all sorts of poultry. A new volume by President Roosevelt will be Issued In the early spring with the Putnam imprint. This will be entitled, "Addresses and Presidential Messages of Theodore Roosevelt. 1902-1W1." The book will have an introduction written by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The publishers desire to make it clear that in Mr. Roosevelt's opinion these speeches have been dedicated to the public, and he derives, therefore, no business advantage from their publication. Booker T. Washington'3 forthcoming book, "Working with tho Hands," was announced for publication a year npo. It was then considered finished, but the author was not satisfied with it and finally insisted upon withdrawing It from his publisher's hands and putting in another year's work upon It. The book is intended to ?how the practical working out of the theories advanced in Mr. Washington's earlier writings. Doubleday. Page & Co. are the publishers. There is a fascination in the various sciences which claim to reveal what Is hidden or unknown. One of the few .f these studies which may be ranked as legitimate is grapholoRy, or the reading of character by handwriting. The' latest book on this subject will be published by the Putnams under the title "What Handwriting Indicates," by John Rexford. This will be, it is said, a thoroughly practical hand book which will be intelligible to the most casual amateur.

This particular picture Is presented with the idea that there Is a certain element of Interest in the portrayal of real people, that is not brought out by either drawings or paintings, hsnce the study deplcttd above has a living interest that is impossible In the most famous paintings. A Tonnessen photograph of a beautiful woman and a child first gave the artist the basis conception of. this new idea. To the graceful lines and features of the photograph were added the de Icate tints, clever fancies ani transforming touches that made of the resultant picture a thing of artistic beauty and excellence, quite aside from its original value as a portrait. "An Easter Offering" Is an example of the highest class work of this kind and represents the advance which has recently bsen made in chromatography or color printing.

The idea that animals possess t-oula at first appears startling, but Investigation has shown that other scientists besides the famous Agassis have heid the fcarne theory. The question is very fully and ably discussed in a recent volume by Dr. E. I). Uuckntr, published by George ". Jacob3 & Co., of Philadelphia. The book is said to be remarkably stroiiK. ably written and unusually striking. In Scribner's Magazine for April is a description, by Montgomery Schuyler, of the architecture of the St. Louis fair, with beautiful drawings by JuUs Guerin. which gives a clear Idea of the beautiful buildings and general plan of the exposition.

There is another installment of Mrs. Geoige Bancroft's "letters from England," the fourth chapter of Captain Mahan s history of the war of a chap ter of Robert Grant's serial an1 several short stories and poems.

The novelette with which the number opens Is called "The Notorious Fir Charles Gratwicke," and Is written by the Birouess Von Hutten, whose recent novels have revealed such wide knowledge of the world and such keen iirsight Into human nature.
