From Current Literature. Years ago—in the 30'’s—Du Maurier, a small American child, Mved near Union Square, New York—a child endowed with the purest artistic sense, color, form, in- sight. Pictures were his delight; each day he pored over them, exciting as well as peopling his imagination with their varied jore and aspect. “Punch,” that famous London weekly, which many Americans vote consistently stupid, became his little world. All England was centered there. The cabmen, the costermonger, the habit- ues of the Row, pages in buttons, seaside revelers, Impecunious Micawbers, Eton stu- dents, and followers of the chase were the figures that paraded through the city of his brain, night and day. The little child ne- giected plays and pastimes adapted to his years. More enjoyment was found in his little world, bounded on all sides by “Panch,” and year after year found him possessed of but one idea—that of beholding the great city where the people he knew and loved so well existed. Familiarity with “Punch” developed in young Du Maurier an education as lasting and as valuable as that developed within the mind of a thoughful traveler, so that when the young American, at the age of twelve, went to London everything was familiar, the inky woodcuts of Leech’s that nad influenced his mind took substantial form; English life was no new story to him, "The ruling propensity was toward art, and so to the picturesque Bohemian Latin Quarter of Paris he went. His associations in the Latin Quarter were remembered. The army of students went forth, and many made names, as did Du Maurier, and the pages of “Trilby” Is now the field of action. Du Maurier's eye- sight having fafied him, literary work be- came his next attempt. Little love of land- scape has he, skill in race portraiture being more in his line, his pre-cminent success having been attained in delineating the manners and customs of society, and the endiess absurdities of English country life. and his refined sense of humor, united with a true love of nature, Is observed in the few black and white fllustrations of outdoor life that bear his name. ‘The Postlethwaite characters in “Punch” added to his famc, the snobs of London, the absurdities then prevailing, the aesthetic craze were caricatured in turn, and his brush laughed out many fads, many ex- tremes of social and political life. Thus Du Maurier, in one sense, became a reformer. Many London parers, at the time, declared that Gilbert's model of Bunthorne was sug- gester by Du Maurler’s caricature of Oscar Vilde, that ran through many numbers of unch.”” George Du Maurier is now a brilliant star in the literary galaxy, and if any one asks why, “Peter Ibbetson” and “Trilby” have only to be produced. But “Trilby” has done more for his fame than “Peter Ibbetson” did. The freshness and breeziness of her type is natural, yet so un- usual to the heroines of the present day novel that one feels as near to her as if she breathed, spoke, moved. A Givineness tlu- minates her nature—a warmth and affection fascinating to the reader. Although in his sixtieth year, Du Maurier is a fine exemple of a well-preserved man. His mental faculties are still active and in- ventive, and the geniality pervading his nature keeps him ycung and exuberant. He is now about to start for a trip on the continent, accompanied by his magnificent St. Bernard, a dog of unusual proportiot which has figured in many of Du Maurier’ drawings. Just outeide of bustling London, Du Maur- jer lives, his house a mansion of turrets and gables—a kind of architectural beauty made famous by such stately residences as those of Alma Tadema and Sir Frederick Leigh- ton.

From the Troy Press. Soon after the advent of typewriting ma- chines in telegraph offices, about five years ago, senders of news messages began to abbreviate, and the manager of one of the news associations invented a code of ab- breviations which is almost as intricate as the sign code itself.
