(Continued from page 5) realize that up in London he was forgotten; not even the waters of the Pump Room could ease that hurt. So Quin ate and drank and grumbled himself into eternity, where I'm sure he jeers at the laudatory rhyme which the hypocritical Garrick composed for the tablet to his memory.' Mr. Skinner was on his way to Cornwall when he stopped off two days at Bath, to find a city refusing even to be Victorian, remaining obstinately Georgian to this day. He didn't play there, and he states that they wouldn't have understood him if he had, because they are incapable of understanding any one who doesn't wear the periwig and patches of the time of George the Third. The arrival of the motion-picture and the automobile caused Bath to "shudder and apply its nose to its scent bottle," but did not serve to bring it any nearer into the present time. The intimacy between Sir Sidney Colvin, Lady Colvin, and Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson finds expression in much of the published correspondence of R. L. S., but little has been known up to this time' about the friendship of Henry James and the Stevensons. The famous dern: Misanthrope" straight from life-from the small-town life which, for literary stimulation, "has the Big City stuff knocked into a cocked hat." She doesn't claim to have created the Emma of the story, since she finds Emmas on every door-step. While bringing up her two children, Mrs. Gould is finding time to write a novel drawn from experiences of several years ago in New York City, where she went こん Otis Skinner as Sancho Panza English critic recalls incidents explaining it, and also presents hitherto unpublished letters of Mrs. Stevenson, a second series of which will follow in the April number, and will tell of their life in the South Seas. Theda Kenyon appears for the second time in SCRIBNER'S. She lives in Brooklyn, and writes poems frequently for the magazines. Lately she has turned her attention to shortstory writing. "The family was my own. I mixed them all up to make a good yarn.' "Frances L. Gould says she drew the material for "Marcus Mad to study stage dancing, and ended as assistant to a magazine editor. Did you take issue with Professor William Lyon Phelps on the subject of cats? A writer in the Statesville Daily of Statesville, N. C., finds a different explanation for the cat's habit of spending "an eight-hour day by a rathole, where in the dim neolithic past he captured a little mouse." This is no sign of the cat's intellectuality, he believes. "Selfishness selfishness alone-motivates this behavior. He parks by the rat-hole to gratify his senses. He would rather do that than anything else. In all likelihood he is a slave to that rat-hole, is drawn to it by instinct, the attraction being irresistible when his morale is low." Mrs. Adeline Adams, who used to write for "The Field of Art," has pleasant things to say of its present editor, Royal Cortissoz, in a letter to a recent number of The New Republic. "If there be any one critic who really knows more than Mr. Cortissoz about architecture, sculpture, and painting, lead us to him, or her," she writes. "The author of 'American Artists' may fairly be called a unique figure in our letters. Few if any of our critics of art have brought to the day's work, year in, year out, such wealth of mind as is his by native gift, by broad and unremitting study, by travel, and by fortunate personal contacts with men of creative power in the three arts."
