A Theme For Bunner.

Mrs. Sidney Lanier, now a resi* dent of Greenwich, Conn., was making a tour of secondhand shops lately in search of an old volume not now to be had from the trade proper. On lower Sixth avenue she met a well known illustrator in what proved to be a favorite haunt of his. “Yes,” he said, “I love this place; it seems almost like the old store; Bunner and I used to go there often, and, do you know, it was seated on this very stepladder”—laying his hand affectionately on the well worn treads—“that he wrote those verses, ‘Oh, for you that I never knew’— you remember? It was only a little while before his death that we talked over a story he wanted me to illustrate, in which the plot was to turn on the sale and subsequent separation of an old library ana the final reunion of this leather backed family in a ‘secondhand’ shop like this. The- love story of a bibliomaniac ran through it, as well aS that of two little brown covered volumes that had always stood side by side on the shelf. And he was just the one who could write such a story poor Bunner!” New York Times.
