MONTESQUDU AS PUCK AND ARIEL. ‘ As a Course of Imagination Cul- ture the Attenuated French- man’s Definition of Himself Affords His Hearers Scope. IN A LECTURE ON TRAVEL. Declining Gate Receipts Exert a Depressing Effect on the Airy De:-riptions of This Imported Ex- pounder of Poetic Fancies. Comte Robert de Montesquiow has two aides. He has made a very interesting metaphysical subdivision of himself. Berlously and poetically he has an- mounced to the world that he has a dual personality. With breathless joy a @mall but very select audience lstened yesterday in one of Sherry's pink par- lors to the Count's declaration that now fhe was Puck and then Ariel. His dear friend M. Gabriel Yturrl clapped his hands) and rapturously exclaimed “Bravo! when the descendant of D'Artignan in rippling Mquid French Painted his character in the rosy gur- ments of Puck. He nearly fainted with Joy when Count Robert arrayed himself in the airy, feathery and zephysbiown raiment of Ariel. Yesterday's $ conference had for ita @udject travel. “Le Voyage” the pro- gramme announced it, It is as Puck and Ariel that Montesqulou travels. As he traipsies up Fifth avenue and ob- Serves street scenes or glances in the shop windows he is Puck. He feels like & deliciously plump little fellow, rotund and jolly, his heart free from gulle or gail, and his spirit for the moment filled with minstrelsy. Into Many Pleasant Places. The Count carried his auditors into many delightful places on the Continent, always as either Puck or Ariel. He was 4&3 sombrely clad as at his first lecture, but he evidently suffered from the strain of foregoing the aesthetic delights of dressing himself according to the poetic harmony of his thoughts, He was pale, almost haggard. His press ageut has Announced that there is nothing queer bout the Count. He is a most serious Uterary gentlemar, ‘Those who have seen him dressed in robes decorated with Chinese nightmares ana irescoed With bats and monkeys were erroneous their impressions that the head of the buse of Fezensac belonged to the ultra- Aesthetic school of which Oscar Wilde Was once an inspired disciple. These little eccentricities were simply pretty fancies of genius. ‘Those who have listened to the af- onate dialogues between Robert his dear friend Yturri, in. which discussed Lips like scarlet threads &ia hair scented with pomegranate, the soulful beauty of the rainbow eyes in @ peacock’s tall, the exquisite poetry in the hideousness of a,baboon, and the thropbing imysery $f the - pire, made coarse and vulgar criticisins when they ventured an opinion as to the Je brand of dope required tor sucn . The Count nimself, in his @ on travel, sought further to s impression oy splitting him- self up into Puck and Ariel. An Effort of Immagination, While gazing upon tho tall, lean form of the Frenchman, his pale smootn cheeks, set off by the black mustache curled up at the ends, and each hair brushed carefully from the full, red lps, it came somewhat as a shock even to such @ select little audience as he had, to describe himself as a plump little fellow, whose taste in ciothe begins and ends with his own rosiness; but M. Yturri interpreted toe cnoughi as almost sublime. ‘The Count's lecture on travel had very Mttle to do with travel as the vulgar mind suggests. As Puck and Arle! he got about with wonderful facilit Versailles to Venice and from land to Haarlem. A fat man with a red face, who sat In the front, chuekled ‘ht came to him of the aloud as’ the thoi loose ny, huts, chuckled again when the Count, raptu- rously rolling his eyes, described him- self as Puck walking along the Strand, e boulevards or Broadway and nue. ‘He might have wondered vhat Capt. O'Reilly would have done it the had caught the chubby little teilow, dressed in ia cheery smile, wandering through the Tenderloin, Richard La Gallienne and M. did their ‘best to rrown down the chuckles of the fat person whose soul Svas hampered with coarse and material suggestions of things as they might ap- fn the flesh shorn of their poeti ., Dut as Robert persisted in tr, elling about as @ fat, naked little fe)! the fat man persisted {n ‘his chuck unt M. cir wae nearly red in the whh wrath.

Never again will they, in all probability, be offered at such astonishing prices. . The reasons are interesting, the opportunity extraordinary. BE, The Largest Manufacturers of Cameras Have Combined to Control the Retail Prices of their respective productions, with a view to eliminating the ruinous competi- tion which has left them frequently at the end of seasons without profit. When this Special Sale is over it is hardly likely that Cameras will ever again be sold at other than the prices fixed by agreement of the producers. We foresaw this; we knew months ago it was coming, and we prepared accord- ingly. We went to work and cornered the market, so to speak. We bought hundreds of well-known cameras, and offer them in this sale at prices lower than other dealers could buy them, were they obtainable.
