BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS^ £*axe" at the bottom. About half of them were left over, and yesterday morning Miss Mary Donelly started to paP er the walls with them. The saffron party was interrupted by Dr. Anna yon Sholly, leader of the district, who hadn't seen the posters before. There was a brief but animated conversation between the leader and Miss Donelly, and then the latter got a pair of scissors and sadly cut the "Vote for Saxe" from every poster in the place. Act 111 opened with the entrance of Mrs. Belmont in the afternoon. Mrs. Belmont looked ut the taillness SSSSSfS* one after the other. What was said is not known, but Tilis.-) Donelly made a second tour of the posters and tore every one down. Dr. yon Shelly said last night that the advice to vote for Saxe was '> little mis- take" on the part el Mrs. Belmont. "I suggested that it be taken off," she said. "Mr. Saxe has not told us he was a suffragist: he has merely said that if sent to the Legislature he would vote to get our bill out of committee. And Senator Agnew has not said he was an anti: he is simply withholding his opinion till he gets light. I think It would i>n very unwise to alienate Senator Angnew by working for Saxe." l.ate last night an asbeart carried away from Broadway and ::>ih street a heap of esters which, unlike little 80-Peep's sheep, hadn't on« of their tails behind •hem. And down at the offices of the Woman Suffrage party they are wondering what Mrs. Belmont will do next. BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS. | Mrs. Belmont's Gorgeous Saf- fron Affairs Pulled Down. A new drama has been added to the at- tractions el Kroadway. "The Docking of di" Suffrage Poster; or. Why the Yellow- Bill Came Down." la its title, and the Btage is the headquarters of the ZTth As- sembly District section of th« Woman Suffrage party, under the Hotel Nor- man. The posters wen the gorgeous saffron affairs printed fur Mr*. O. If. P. lia'muni. and which she distributed herself to th« wayfarers around Broadway and 28th street, in front el the headquarters, night before last— the ones with "Down with Sen- ator Agnew" at the top and "Vote for Such Is the Object of Wadtergfvs Vocation Committee.

Utah School if the ne»- vocation , committee uucceedg in at:<-.»»nj»l a,j j that it wishes to. Under the chairmanship i of alias Henrietta Rodman the ct>ißxnlu«« j wilt endeavor to discover all these bud 3 an* , help them to bloom. "Many girls nh..n they leave school em?!* upon work for Aim h tb<?>- are no* fitted at all," sfald Uiaw Rodman yesterday, "For exam.. almost all thea«"girla bay« some musicaf or dramatic talent, and many of them leave school liopl^s to find a busU ness opening- for these talents. They thini? , the work will be easy +i>i Interesting— jw* different from the urear} , monotonous eas- ' ing of the teacher. Of course, most el them are doomed to disappointment. Now, it ij the duty of teachers to lintl out what Bucf» j girls really can do well and £%z. them t?-' terestsd in that other work. j "To l>elp*"s *m setting at these faeta top our girls we Lave distributed printed '•i*ts of (yuesrions tt> girls who are leaving schooi. We ask each one to t- ii what studies Eh, \u25a0was most interested In wh«-n she mas la the grammar echools, what games she llk*4 best when she was little and what b00«.9 she likes to read. We ask her parents to ' tell about her homo interests and to hsl^ \u25a0 us hi advising h«T." From the answers received the cornmltte* | hopee to discover hidden talents. A girl who loved to p!ay hospital with her broken i dolls and to whom her baby sisters run for petting:? when they bump their noses will be found promising material for a trained nurs?, while the ehlld 'ho played school every Saturday and loved to do sums for her doll pupils will be advised to b*eeoe a teacher. After the girl has been awakened to ths possibilities th>n her the next step tcv the lee i hers Ii to help her secure training. Oft*n the girl who loves to sew has never heard of the dressmaking school in her neighborhood or the girl about to besfme a stenographer does not know which busi- ness schools are best. The teachers \u25a0srill come to the rescue with information, ad- dresses and letters of Introduction. Some*', times the assistance of the teachers la needed in another way. A girl's funds are low. Perhaps the father dies just as she Isw ! ready to begin her training. 'It is then the duty of her teachers," «a3 » Miss Rodman, "to help her get money somewhere— to borrow it or interest wealth? patrons in the case or secure a scholar* In some school. The influence of the teach- era in her school, of course, can accomplish more th.in the girl can alone. "Some girls need positions, too, while they , ara still in school for afternoon or Satur- day work. We are sending letters to pri- vate schools asking for information about f positions as tutors and children's com- j panions Cor our girls. All the teacher* will i interest themselves in finding work for ! girls as houseworkers among their friends. Often the chance to wash dishes and sweep on Saturdays helps a girl get room and board while she is going through college er ! gives her money enough to struggle alorg : until she finishes her school course. Th- are 13) teachers here and if we work to- . gether we can do much." It has been, discovered that a large per- centage ot* the Wadleigh girls leav» school before they graduate, either from scarcity of money in the family purse or from lack of interest in academic studies*. "Su« h girls," says Miss Rodman, "must be made to realize that even without & complete education they have within them the eJements of success in some line of work. A girl may be denied the joy of becoming a teacher. If so. .-he mils" be persuaded to ro into business, for botli teaching and ofiice work require intellectual ; power. But a girl who has been prevented ' from studying art must be assisted int» jsome hand craft or applied art— work, be- icause, like the line arts, they call for hand work, and i:» such lines only the skilful fingers of th* 'handy' girl can succeed."

SUFFRAGE POSTER FIASCO Currant Jelly, melted and added to ice water, is a refreshing drink often appre- ciated by feverish invalids. in this combining' of mat-..*;-, however, ail elaboration that would be "'.it of keep- ing with the character of tli'a gowns, is carefully avoided. It is long Kinee the woman who is con- scious of the deficiencies of the tailored costume has been so well provided with means of escape from it as now. After- noun and evening gowns have for some time been built on such simple Macs and with EQ little superfluous material that so far as form was concerned they were Ideal garments fur informal wear. All that re- mained to be done was to make them of suitable material, such as serge or cash- mere, in order to produce the fascinating frocks now shown which may be worn in the house or go out under a top coat Of cloth or fur with equal success. Another respect In which these frocks copy more formal ones is in the introduction of a lightweight fabric about the neck and shoulders, where a heavy one would l>e un- comfortably warm. There is, to be sure, the three-piece cos- tume, in which one Is satisfactorily clothed without a coat, but these arc generally found only among the dressier models. Even if the utility tailored suit were in three-piece style there would still be the danger in using it for a house frock that there would be a noticeable. lack of fresh- ness In the skirt when it went out in com- pany with the coat.

London, October 25. Women are the best writers of light memoirs and social reminiscences. This l-, shown by the success, cf Lady Doro- thy MevUTs two volumes. Lady Ran- dolph Churchill's recollections, and by Lady SI . Heller's interesting record of her own life aud acquaintances. Men sometimes lack the lightness of touch and vivacity of style requisite for enter- taining good-natured, but easily bored audiences. Mrs. Craig!©, !f .]\u25a0.- had lived, would have written a perfect vol- ume of literary and social reminiscences of London, for, while she Mas a thought- ful censor, a cubtle satirist and a keen observer, she was also master of a de- lightful comedy etyle. Probably there will not be a better substitute for that unwritten work than her friend, Mrs. T. P. O'Connor, has presented to Lon- don society. Mre. O'Connor writes in a delightfully feminine way, indifferent In logical order and consistency and bubbling over with vivacity and natural bonhomie. With all the digressions, casual reflections and spontaneous outbursts of candor, iier iglory, Its tragedies and mysteries are j traced step by step, the author pointing out, in further justification of the book, !that he has bean ahle to bring forward i important new facts, such as the date of I the demolition of the Wardrobe Tower. iand thai he has retold at greater length i and with more circumstantial detail the attempted robbery of the Crown jewels, the niurcie:- or suicide of the Earl of Kf=sex, Lord Kithadate's escape, and the last days, trial and death of Anne I ffojeyn. And, pi course, us an enthu- siastic specialist, he is able to correct many minor historical errors, such as the statement that th.. wedding proces- sion of Prince Arthur mi Katharine of ! Aragon started from the Tower, when i as a matter of fact it started from the palace of the Bishop of London, near by. in these days of world-wide spelling reform, one reads with delight the pho- netic, contemporary account of the coro- nation of Klizabvth'of York, the Queen i Of Henry VII; Her grace cain« to '"• To\ er from Green- wich by water, followed by many- richly decorated barge?, on« r*pre«s^nling "a great r«.-<i. diagnti, spowtyh) Ui&mys Ot l"\^r into tli<* TenimjTS." this being followed by other I ''gentlemanly pageants.*' .

It setms only the other day that we j were welcoming a new batch of volumes jin "Everyman's Library," the series of ! cheap reprints started by Dent, in Lon- don, and published in this country by E. P. Dutton & Co. There were enough books then in the collection to justify a ipause, but with something: like breath- less energy the tasli has been carried forward, and now five hundred volumes are available. The last group of fifty in the series has just been received, and re- vives keen appreciation of one of the best schemes of bookmaking ever pro- jected. These volumes are, to begin with, excellently well made. Small in size though they are, they are printed in good type, on good paper, and they are 'charmingly bound, the color of the simple cloth cover varying according to j the department of literature in which a given book belongs. Thus, notion is clad I in red, poetry and drama in green, the classics in gray, and so on. For pub- lications so inexpensive these are aston- ishing in their solidity and good taste. All this, moreover, Is subsidiary. Tlie first purpose of '•Everyman's,'' of ' course, is to enable any reader to feed a special interest at its abounding board. The standard works ana here and with them a. quantity of books which, if not i to b«* reckoned among the greatest tri- ! umphs of the old masters, are neverthe- less desired by the studious reader. . Take, for example, the division given to I"Poetry and Drama." In this latest in- stalment we have the complete works, i in two volumes, of Ben Jonson, edited j with an Introduction by Professor Behei- \u25a0 ling, and to the same group Professor Thomdykl contributes a couple of vol- ] umes of manor Elizabethan, plays, while j following these we have the poems and : plays of Byron, in three volumes, edited jby Professor Treat, and. what is pecul- I iarly significant of the alert editorial i j judgment controlling the series, a vol- ! ume containing "A Doll's House" and ; two other plays by Ibsen. The inclusion of this last vividly illustrates the resolu- tion of the publishers to keep "Every- j man's" from being a mere museum of ' i familiar el.is.sirs. In the historical di- ! vision they issue to-day the fourth, fifth : and sixth volumes of Gibbon, and they ' reprint living's "Conquest of Granada," i i but they give us. besides, Proude'a [ "Reign of .\Lity Tudor," and, under the ; title of "Tho Pilgrim Fathers," a collec- | tion, happily edited by John Masefield, of . contemporary tracts or narratives of the sailing of the Mayflower and the found- ing of Now England. Lord Derby's I translation of the "Iliad" and Cowper's version of the "Odyssey" figure in the classical list, which also embraces Plato and Thucydides. But ii would be tiresome to enumerate all of the eloquent titles In this collec- tion We need onJy note in passing two or three ospfcially welcome volumes, sucb as Burke'B "Reflections 011 the v •\u25a0< i• ii Revolution," Scott's "Lives of the Novelists" and Bartholomew's "Lit- erary and Historical Atlas of Europe," adding that among the novels room is found not only for works by Fielding, Thackeray and BaJsaa, hut. for "The Woman in White" and fur a collection of "Tales and Parables" by Tolstoy. : This batch by itself makes a little I library, and it represents only a. tenth part of "Everyman's." Obviously, the j scheme is Invaluable in th/ dissemina- 1 tioti of the knowledge and delight that i literature afford^. ! SPRIGHTLY' GOSSIP SONNETS TO A LOVER.

It is much to be wished that when coining scientific terms scientific char- acters would mind their p's and q's! Long ago it used to be said that a poor scholar was nourished by inventors of hair dyes and patent razors to make sonorous names, good in advertisements, for their wares. One of his words was, I remem- ber, Rhypophagon, and, at all events, he had combined two Greek words and had made no unholy wedlock of Greek and Latin, as in "sociology," and "homo- sexual"*—things to shudder at. Surely scientific gentlemen might subsidize a poor scholar to make correct terms for them. Indeed^ if they will consult me I will do it "for love," with the help of friends and a Greek dictionary, and to avoid outrages pn languages once respec- table and now worthy pf reverence, as they are dead. There is a favorite phrase of the post- Darwinians, "panmixia." it is just as cheap and it is correct to say "pain- mixia." Fifty years ago an advertising- hairdresser would have found that his starving scholar gave him "pammixia," if he needed it for a hair wash. But now- me kind of razor is termed, I think, the "autostrop" the self stropper. "Autos" Is Greek for "self, 1 but "strop" is hot Greek. I (Jo not remember the Greek for "strop"—no doubt any schoolboy can supply it but science prattles about "auto-suggestion" when "self-sugges- tion" is natural am] is meant. in- awful "howler* is quite scientific —you meet it everywhere^ In Greek, alpha, our letter a, is "privitive," and means "not."' In Latin, as we know, non means ' ii"l." •Moral," notoriously, is a word of Latin origin. It', therefore, a. scientific character wants to say that something is "non-moral" he does not pay so, but having somehow heard ii* the fourth form or "alpha privative," he writes "amoral." lie might as well write "spot" for "spot barred." The very worst I ever saw was "aaor- orogamous.V The inventor o| this amaz- ing term, by which he meant "not mar- rying your sister," combined alpha (Greek) with soror ("sister" in Latin), and threw in "gamous" (Greek) ion the analogy of "bigamous," which, by the way, is also wrong. "AnadelphogamiC was what my friend wanted, but, alas! he he was as lazy at school as he was inge- nious. Are we to say "multogaiay" for "polygamy?" It i- no worse than the rest. The last scientific "howler" which I have seen is "hypernatural." The Greek per" has the same sense as the Latin "super." "above," and hitherto- -before scientific gents handled a language, Greek, which they don't know, and di test when, we meant "above nature" we said "supernatural.'! But the unin- structed pedantry of the scientist; char- acter now gives us "hyp' •rusitural." and "superhuman" will soon be "hyper- human," whereas "hyperanthropic" (riot without warrant from so self-respecting an author as Lucian) would serve th«j turn, without setting our teeth on edge. I am no advocate fop ''compulsory Greek.'' If a bo) genius is in the Bcien tine way. I would not be for the futile folly of trying to teach him the language Of Homer. All I ask is that .scientific gentlemen, as they neither know nor love Greek, should leave that language alone when they mix up their jargon at impossible combinations. For each of them, surely, hie native tongue ought «o be good enough They and the hair- dressers ought not to tamper with the speech of Plato and pollute the language of Shakespeare. Why say "pantoga- mouH" when pasigamous" is correct, if me must veil our meaning In th« decent obscurity of a dead language? memoirs, entitled, "i Myself," have the merit of rapid improvisation at whits beat. The zest for astonishing her au- dience by saying unexpected things has survived her ardor for society and even for life; and while she makes no secret of her ill health, loneliness and iinhap- piness, she cannot write a dull page, nor tell an anecdote without revealing a Hash of her own individuality. The title of this attractive volume, published here by Methuen, lias the superficial glitter of egotism, and yet thoso who have known the author well will con- sider it peculiarly appropriate. It is a piquant and interesting revelation of an American woman's personality. Americans who read this entertaining; book— and ! hope there will i- many of them—will bo particularly interested in the account of her girlhood la Texas and Washington, and of her struggles as a journalist In New York. She seldom re- ferred in London drawing rooms to these experiences, and never mentioned her father, Judge Paschal to whom Bho was passionately devoted, but in the printed record everything connected with her youth is told with intense vividness and easy naturalness. Heredity had much to do with her fearless spirit and inde- pendent judgment; the making of the woman was in the Southern atmosphere and In the trials and sacrifices of early womanhood, and protracted as was her residence in England and intimate as her friendships have been with interesting and important people here, she has re- mained an American at heart and in manner. How loyal has been her feeling for her native country is attested by many passages which Americans will like to read for stimulative effect. How delightful and useful a. service the could render to what is still with her "the borne country" by writing a book about America for English readers! Of her life in England, where she has been a favorite in smart as well as in bohemian society, she writes with un- failing animation and sparkle, but dis- cursively and at haphazard, as impul- sive fancy seizes her. Of the- great men whom she has known, like Gladstone and Parnell. she has little to say, and her reticence is to be regretted, for her Judg- ments of celebrities are both shrewd and tolerant. Of her intimate companions and friends she writes most affectionate- ly, but not always with discretion, for she does not hesitate to blurt out unnec- essary things, such as cheating at cards for the sake of obtaining social ostracism or an actress leaving th* table to clean her teeth. She can be easily forgiven for breaches of taste, since in her frank reminiscences as in her conversation she is never dull. I. N. F. NEW-YORK DAILY TUIIH s". r,'j:!>\r:sD AY. \o\ i:\irek 2. 1010.

Smart and useful though the tailored suit may be. it has never satisfied the aesthetic soul.

Mr. Phillips Is even more con- vinced that the responsibility for aH the •faults of our social ; "* ft especially the matrimonial side of it—that get into the yellow press lies with our women, but at the same tims he presents the- short- comings of our men as he sees them through the same sensational medium. ' Th» Husband's Story" offers us an eutebiographic account, by the man, of the rise to the financial and social top '\u25a0 eC things achieved by the daughter of a Passjafa undertaker and the eon of a corner grocer in the same interesting New Jersey -pot. He is a money-maker »nd she is a. slatternly, incompetent housekeeper, untrained for her share in the business of life until the two begin to rise. Then she blossoms into the aristocrat that every woman is said to be at heart, a cumber and a success. Serious interests she has none;' true culture is unknown to her. Worldly to the core, selfish In all the relations of life, her conquest of New York and then of Europe is accomplished at the cost of a complete estrangement between herself and her husband, ending In di- vorce. Thereafter she does better than ever for herself in the foreign environ- in en t aha has learned to prefer to that of her birth and earlier progress. It all makes most entertaining reading. bat it bears the same relation to our social conditions that is borne by the sources from which Mr. Phillips con- fessedly draws his material. "Any reader," says the official pronouncement, "can rind the plots of his» stories In the contents of any number of hundreds of metropolitan newspapers." Just .so. That is the exact measure of their trust- worthiness as pictures of American "high-life."

The saffron party wasinterrupted by Dr. Anna yon Sholly, leaderof the district, who hadn't seen the postersbefore. There was a brief but animatedconversation between the leader and MissDonelly, and then the latter got a pair ofscissors and sadly cut the "Vote for Saxe"from every poster in the place.

Act 111 opened with the entrance of Mrs.Belmont in the afternoon. Mrs. Belmontlooked ut the taillness SSSSSfS* one afterthe other. What was said is not known,but Tilis.-) Donelly made a second tour ofthe posters and tore every one down.

Dr. yon Shelly said last night that theadvice to vote for Saxe was '> little mis-take" on the part el Mrs. Belmont."I suggested that it be taken off," she

said. "Mr. Saxe has not told us he was asuffragist: he has merely said that if sent

to the Legislature he would vote to get ourbill out of committee. And Senator Agnewhas not said he was an anti: he is simplywithholding his opinion till he gets light.Ithink It would i>n very unwise to alienateSenator Angnew by working for Saxe."l.ate last night an asbeart carried away

from Broadway and ::>ih street a heap ofesters which, unlike little 80-Peep's

After the girl has been awakened to thspossibilities th>n her the next step tcvthe lee ihers Iito help her secure training.Oft*n the girl who loves to sew has neverheard of the dressmaking school in herneighborhood or the girl about to besfmea stenographer does not know which busi-ness schools are best.

After-noun and evening gowns have for sometime been built on such simple Macs andwith EQ little superfluous material that sofar as form was concerned they were Idealgarments fur informal wear. All that re-mained to be done was to make them ofsuitable material, such as serge or cash-mere, in order to produce the fascinating

frocks now shown which may be worn inthe house or go out under a top coat Ofcloth or fur with equal success. Anotherrespect In which these frocks copy moreformal ones is in the introduction of alightweight fabric about the neck andshoulders, where a heavy one would l>e un-comfortably warm.

Mrs. T. P. O'Connor on LondonSociety.

London, October 25.Women are the best writers of light

memoirs and social reminiscences. Thisl-, shown by the success, cf Lady Doro-thy MevUTs two volumes. Lady Ran-dolph Churchill's recollections, and byLady SI . Heller's interesting record ofher own life aud acquaintances. Mensometimes lack the lightness of touchand vivacity of style requisite for enter-taining good-natured, but easily boredaudiences. Mrs. Craig!©, !f .]\u25a0.- hadlived, would have written a perfect vol-ume of literary and social reminiscencesof London, for, while she Mas a thought-ful censor, a cubtle satirist and a keenobserver, she was also master of a de-lightful comedy etyle. Probably therewill not be a better substitute for thatunwritten work than her friend, Mrs.T. P. O'Connor, has presented to Lon-don society.

Mre. O'Connor writes in a delightfullyfeminine way, indifferent In logical orderand consistency and bubbling over withvivacity and natural bonhomie. With allthe digressions, casual reflections andspontaneous outbursts of candor, iier

iglory, Its tragedies and mysteries arejtraced step by step, the author pointingout, in further justification of the book,

!that he has bean ahle to bring forwardiimportant new facts, such as the date ofIthe demolition of the Wardrobe Tower.iand thai he has retold at greater length

iand with more circumstantial detail theattempted robbery of the Crown jewels,the niurcie:- or suicide of the Earl ofKf=sex, Lord Kithadate's escape, and thelast days, trial and death of AnneIffojeyn. And, pi course, us an enthu-siastic specialist, he is able to correctmany minor historical errors, such asthe statement that th.. wedding proces-sion of Prince Arthur mi Katharine of

!Aragon started from the Tower, whenias a matter of fact it started from thepalace of the Bishop of London, near by.

in these days of world-wide spellingreform, one reads with delight the pho-netic, contemporary account of the coro-nation of Klizabvth'of York, the Queen

"EVERYMAN'S"Fifty More Volumes in a Re-

markable Series.It setms only the other day that we

j were welcoming a new batch of volumesjin "Everyman's Library," the series of!cheap reprints started by Dent, in Lon-

don, and published in this country byE. P. Dutton & Co. There were enoughbooks then in the collection to justify a

ipause, but with something: like breath-less energy the tasli has been carriedforward, and now five hundred volumesare available. The last group of fifty inthe series has just been received, and re-vives keen appreciation of one of thebest schemes of bookmaking ever pro-jected. These volumes are, to beginwith, excellently well made. Small insize though they are, they are printed ingood type, on good paper, and they are'charmingly bound, the color of thesimple cloth cover varying according to

j the department of literature in which agiven book belongs. Thus, notion is clad

Iin red, poetry and drama in green, theclassics in gray, and so on. For pub-

lications so inexpensive these are aston-ishing in their solidity and good taste.All this, moreover, Is subsidiary.

Tlie first purpose of '•Everyman's,'' of'course, is to enable any reader to feed aspecial interest at its abounding board.The standard works ana here and withthem a. quantity of books which, if not

ito b«* reckoned among the greatest tri-!umphs of the old masters, are neverthe-

less desired by the studious reader.. Take, for example, the division given toI"Poetry and Drama." In this latest in-

stalment we have the complete works,iin two volumes, of Ben Jonson, editedj with an Introduction by Professor Behei-

\u25a0 ling, and to the same group ProfessorThomdykl contributes a couple of vol-

]umes of manor Elizabethan, plays, whilejfollowing these we have the poems and:plays of Byron, in three volumes, editedjby Professor Treat, and. what is pecul-

Iiarly significant of the alert editorial i

j judgment controlling the series, a vol-!ume containing "A Doll's House" and;two other plays by Ibsen. The inclusionof this last vividly illustrates the resolu-tion of the publishers to keep "Every-

jman's" from being a mere museum of'

ifamiliar el.is.sirs. In the historical di-!vision they issue to-day the fourth, fifth:and sixth volumes of Gibbon, and they

'

reprint living's "Conquest of Granada," i

ibut they give us. besides, Proude'a[ "Reign of .\Lity Tudor," and, under the;title of "Tho Pilgrim Fathers," a collec-|tion, happily edited by John Masefield, of.contemporary tracts or narratives of thesailing of the Mayflower and the found-ing of Now England. Lord Derby'sItranslation of the "Iliad" and Cowper'sversion of the "Odyssey" figure in theclassical list, which also embraces Platoand Thucydides.

But ii would be tiresome to enumerateall of the eloquent titles In this collec-tion We need onJy note in passing twoor three ospfcially welcome volumes,

sucb as Burke'B "Reflections 011 thev •\u25a0< i•ii Revolution," Scott's "Lives ofthe Novelists" and Bartholomew's "Lit-erary and Historical Atlas of Europe,"

• adding that among the novels room isfound not only for works by Fielding,Thackeray and BaJsaa, hut. for "TheWoman in White" and fur a collectionof "Tales and Parables" by Tolstoy.:This batch by itself makes a littleIlibrary, and it represents only a. tenthpart of "Everyman's." Obviously, the

j scheme is Invaluable in th/ dissemina-1 tioti of the knowledge and delight thatiliterature afford^.!

SCIENTIFIC TERMS.Andrew Lang in Scorn of Their

Careless Coinage.From The Illustrated London News.It is much to be wished that when

coining scientific terms scientific char-acters would mind their p's and q's! Longago itused to be said that a poor scholarwas nourished by inventors of hair dyesand patent razors to make sonorousnames, good in advertisements, for theirwares. One of his words was, Iremem-ber, Rhypophagon, and, at all events, hehad combined two Greek words and hadmade no unholy wedlock of Greek andLatin, as in "sociology," and "homo-sexual"*—things to shudder at. Surelyscientific gentlemen might subsidize apoor scholar to make correct terms forthem. Indeed^ if they will consult meIwill do it "for love," with the help offriends and a Greek dictionary, and toavoid outrages pn languages once respec-table and now worthy pf reverence, asthey are dead.

There is a favorite phrase of the post-Darwinians, "panmixia." it is just ascheap and it is correct to say "pain-mixia." Fifty years ago an advertising-hairdresser would have found that hisstarving scholar gave him "pammixia," ifhe needed it for a hair wash. But now-

me kind of razor is termed, Ithink, the"autostrop"

—the self stropper. "Autos"

Is Greek for "self,1 but "strop" is hotGreek. I(Jo not remember the Greek for"strop"—no doubt any schoolboy cansupply it

—but science prattles about

"auto-suggestion" when "self-sugges-tion" is natural am] is meant.•

in- awful "howler* is quite scientific—you meet it everywhere^ In Greek,alpha, our letter a, is "privitive," andmeans "not."' In Latin, as we know,non means

'ii"l." •Moral," notoriously,

is a word of Latin origin. It', therefore,a. scientific character wants to say thatsomething is "non-moral" he does notpay so, but having somehow heard ii*the fourth form or "alpha privative," hewrites "amoral." lie might as well write"spot" for "spot barred."

The very worst Iever saw was "aaor-orogamous.V The inventor o| this amaz-ing term, by which he meant "not mar-rying your sister," combined alpha(Greek) with soror ("sister" in Latin),and threw in "gamous" (Greek) ion theanalogy of "bigamous," which, by theway, is also wrong. "AnadelphogamiCwas what my friend wanted, but, alas! hehe was as lazy at school as he was inge-nious. Are we to say "multogaiay" for"polygamy?" It i- no worse than therest.

The last scientific "howler" which Ihave seen is "hypernatural." The Greek

per" has the same sense as the Latin"super." "above," and hitherto- -beforescientific gents handled a language,Greek, which they don't know, and ditest

—when, we meant "above nature"

we said "supernatural.'! But the unin-structed pedantry of the scientist; char-acter now gives us "hyp'•rusitural." and"superhuman" will soon be "hyper-human," whereas "hyperanthropic" (riotwithout warrant from so self-respectingan author as Lucian) would serve th«jturn, without setting our teeth on edge.Iam no advocate fop ''compulsory

Greek.'' Ifa bo) genius is in the Bcientine way. Iwould not be for the futilefolly of trying to teach him the languageOf Homer. All Iask is that .scientificgentlemen, as they neither know norlove Greek, should leave that languagealone when they mix up their jargon atimpossible combinations. For each ofthem, surely, hie native tongue ought «obe good enough They and the hair-dressers ought not to tamper with thespeech of Plato and pollute the languageof Shakespeare. Why say "pantoga-mouH" when pasigamous" is correct, ifme must veil our meaning In th« decentobscurity of a dead language?

memoirs, entitled, "i Myself," have themerit of rapid improvisation at whitsbeat. The zest for astonishing her au-dience by saying unexpected things hassurvived her ardor for society and evenfor life; and while she makes no secretof her ill health, loneliness and iinhap-piness, she cannot write a dull page,nor tell an anecdote without revealinga Hash of her own individuality. Thetitle of this attractive volume, publishedhere by Methuen, lias the superficialglitter of egotism, and yet thoso whohave known the author well will con-sider it peculiarly appropriate. It is apiquant and interesting revelation of anAmerican woman's personality.

Americans who read this entertaining;book—and !hope there will i- many ofthem—will bo particularly interested inthe account of her girlhood la Texas andWashington, and of her struggles as ajournalist In New York. She seldom re-ferred in London drawing rooms to theseexperiences, and never mentioned herfather, Judge Paschal to whom Bho waspassionately devoted, but in the printedrecord everything connected with heryouth is told with intense vividness andeasy naturalness. Heredity had muchto do with her fearless spirit and inde-pendent judgment; the making of thewoman was in the Southern atmosphereand In the trials and sacrifices of earlywomanhood, and protracted as was herresidence in England and intimate as herfriendships have been with interestingand important people here, she has re-mained an American at heart and inmanner. How loyal has been her feelingfor her native country is attested bymany passages which Americans willlike to read for stimulative effect. Howdelightful and useful a. service the couldrender to what is still with her "theborne country" by writing a book aboutAmerica for English readers!

Of her life in England, where she hasbeen a favorite in smart as well as inbohemian society, she writes with un-failing animation and sparkle, but dis-cursively and at haphazard, as impul-sive fancy seizes her. Of the- great menwhom she has known, like Gladstone andParnell. she has little to say, and herreticence is to be regretted, for her Judg-ments of celebrities are both shrewd andtolerant. Of her intimate companionsand friends she writes most affectionate-ly, but not always with discretion, forshe does not hesitate to blurt out unnec-essary things, such as cheating at cardsfor the sake of obtaining social ostracismor an actress leaving th* table to cleanher teeth. She can be easily forgiven forbreaches of taste, since in her frankreminiscences as in her conversation sheis never dull. I.N. F.

Smart and useful though the tailored suitmay be. it has never satisfied the aestheticsoul. While there is little fault to be foundwith it as an outdoor costume, in thehouse, with the coat removed. the skirtand blouse always have the appearance ofbeing more or less of a makeshift arrange-ment.

Mr. Phillips Is even more con-vinced that the responsibility for aH the•faults of our social ;"*ft—especially thematrimonial side of it—that get into theyellow press lies with our women, butat the same tims he presents the- short-comings of our men as he sees themthrough the same sensational medium.'Th» Husband's Story" offers us an

eutebiographic account, by the man, ofthe rise to the financial and social top

'\u25a0 eC things achieved by the daughter of a

Passjafa undertaker and the eon of acorner grocer in the same interesting

New Jersey -pot. He is a money-maker»nd she is a. slatternly, incompetent

housekeeper, untrained for her share in

the business of life until the two begin

to rise. Then she blossoms into thearistocrat that every woman is said tobe at heart, a cumber and a success.Serious interests she has none;' true

culture is unknown to her. Worldly to

the core, selfish In all the relations oflife,her conquest of New York and thenof Europe is accomplished at the cost

of a complete estrangement betweenherself and her husband, ending In di-vorce. Thereafter she does better thanever for herself in the foreign environ-inen t aha has learned to prefer to thatof her birth and earlier progress.

Itall makes most entertaining reading.

bat it bears the same relation to oursocial conditions that is borne by thesources from which Mr. Phillips con-

fessedly draws his material. "Anyreader," says the official pronouncement,

"can rind the plots of his» stories In thecontents of any number of hundreds ofmetropolitan newspapers." Just .so.That is the exact measure of their trust-

worthiness as pictures of American"high-life." They take no notice of thethousands that do not furnish materialto swell the contents of the columns ofthesa papers. One baa, however, thepleasant sensation of realizing that hole reading a roHUlil v <!>'

It is not that Mr. Phillips fuil^ to saymany true things; it is only his over-

statement of them, in addition to his en-tire suppression of the other side, that* causes up to question bis skilland indus-

Mr. David Graluur. Phillips Is one of£»* American novelists Who are takenseriously as delineators of our contem-porary social life and as critics of itsfaults and evils. The thoughtful take

his opinions and judgments with a grainof salt, but those who buyjifs books inhuge quantities implicitly believe hint.To convince the unthinking °»° merely

has to interest them, and that is bestdone by entertaining them. .Mi. Phillips
