William Frothins tights and sing song. She Is everything that Is charming, companionable, ''unsentimental and accommodating; and, of course, as pure and innocent as a child. Bobbie wants to. marry her, (he is. a clerk ana lives In a House).

Being, like many of her class, an honest girl, she chokes him off, to use an expressive term. This is her reason: "It wasn't you I doubted, Bobbie. It was myself. I do love you, Bobble; truly I do, but I could not be true to you. Once I could have been.

But now. Bobble oh, my dearest, 'forgive me now I don't know how to be faithful any more. I've lost the way. I could not live the same life, day in and day out. I should have "to see some one else sometimes, to be with some one else sometimes, even to be fond of some one else a little, dear.

And you wouldn't understand, Bobble." She was qfilte right. Bobbie would not have understood. He was very young, he had ideals and ho liked to hear Lorelei call him a genius. So It was Just as well that he. Bhould return to the girl "back in our town." In a single, dialogue the word "Bobbie" recurs forty three times, and the word "Lorelei" thirty time's.

"And then I'd die. Yes, I'd die. Bobble. And, you'd back home and marry some nice, American girl. Yes you would.

Bobble. And if you did. I'd haunt her. Bobble. Yes; I would.

Some night she'd wake up and find me sitting on the foot of tho and I'd be making salads. "Who's the poet now, Lorelei?" "She wouldn't think It was poetical, Bobbie. She'd throw a fit." "Oh. you wouldn't be so cruel, Lorelei." And so BOOKS RECEIVED. longer a study applicable to general and therefore degenerates into an individual monograph.

And the study of. such an individual is only of interest to pathologists; therefore the hook doe's not appeal to the general public, arid is in that sense a failure. As a pathological "Jarvls of Harvard' Is clever ahd acute, although one feels that the root, motive of puerperal 'shame' is artificially drawn but In1 order that the whole gamut ot youthful, dissipation may be rung on it. Jarvls, disgusted with' himself arid constantly thrown back by meeting or being reminded of the woman who has the right, to quote, "I had thee first, whoever have thee' last," throws himself into the vulgar pleasures of Boston drlpk, rowdyism and chorus girls. He makes frequent efforts to recover his, ambition, always.

him down agan. Thus he goes in for foot ball and plays in the Harvard Yale match; hut the defeat of Harvard is sufficient' to cast down his morbid sensitiveness and in a moment of physical reaction from severe training all. the effects of his good intentions arc lost. It is possible that the small section of readers which is attracted by a hint of depravity may be induced to read this book on that account. As much In Justice to the author as from cold criticism it.

Is necessary to say that such attraction will be looked for In vain. The love affairs are almost, farcically lacking either in sensuousness or dramatlcalness. Whenever Jarvls meets his siren they talk metaphysics by the hour: The only topical interest in the story reside Its picture of undergraduate life at a New England university, and that is marred, especially in the foot ball episode, by. the uso of slang unintelligible to the.ordinary reader. Sporting, technicology, good enough in journalism, is out of place in serious fiction, Yet "Jarvis" is a novel of exceptional promise.

We shall look forward to hearing of Mr. Kauffman again. THE MYSTERIOUS TWELVE STORIES "A House Party: An account of the stories that were told at a gathering of Famous Authors, the story tellers being Introduced by Paul Leicester Ford." Published by Small, Maynard Co. of Boston, in cloth, 12mo, 406 pages, $1.50, with particulars of a Euessing prize of "I'll venture to say," muttered the old general at the end of the volume, "that if Noah could have got" hold' of twelve "'equally "dry stories he need never have taken the trouble to build the ark." If that is Mr. Ford's.

own opinion on the matter it will not be polite to contradict him. The Interest in this volume of short stories resides in the novel mhthod of advertisement which it carries. Any one who biiy3 a copy has a right to make a guess at. the authorship of each story, with the chance of winning a cash prize. The.

names of twenty five authors are given, and twelve out of these are supposed to have contributed one tale apiece. "The Idea was suggested by a casual discussion of the earmarks of authorship. What is; it that distinguishes the work of one writer from another?" Habitual readers have long imagined that nothing is so distinct and easily recognizable as the individualism of great authors. This book will Jar their belief. Not only are the stories remarkably uniform in their lack of individualism, but the list of authors' names serves as a painful reminder that individualism is not, after all, conspicuous among American novelists.

Most of the names stand for a label of contents, not a label of style. Bangs, Churchill, Garland, Jewett. Stockton, Tarkington, Wilkins'; these names do not seem to carry individuality, except in the choice of subject. One might pretend to know at a glance anything from the pens of W. D.

Howells, Mark Twain or Owen Wlster. but If these' writers are among the twelve they seem to have suffered a sort of extinction at the hands Mr. Ford. The puzzle is undoubtedly an interesting one much more interesting, than the stories but we are inclined to'thlnk that it would have stimulated more widespread competition if the names only of the twelve authors were given, and if lreir stories had been allowed to stand on their merits and by themselves without the trite framework of a "symposium." We should have found just as much difficulty in attributing (he twelve stories to twelve authors as to twenty five. Try again.

AH good grocers soil It. In their old familiar place, with only the difference of a dancing room of old gold and green traceries instead of the pink and Kilt and tapestries of the Umpire, the Ihpe tongas came to life again' last night. Officially this was the first of the Assembly balls of Brooklyn; actually, though different heads guided it, It was the same historic dance, planned in artistic detail, arranged with much elaborateness. tradition has determined It the Art Association rooms were turned into the ball room of this night. The small retiring room to the front had its walls huns in a somewhat deep red, unrelieved.

The ballroom itself was hung in cloth of old gold, ending high up iii a cornice of white. Garlanded In smilax. with a bower roof made overhead by ropes of smilax at the height of the cornice and the great chandeliers, the red of the walls above and the old fashioned skylights passed unnoticed. There were two big mirrors in this ball room, draped in 'green. At the further end In two boxes with curving fronts the musicians sat; an orchestra, twelve strong, to the left, a Hungarian band to the right.

These boxes were adorned with banks of daisies. Between ball and supper mom there was an anteroom, finished in rose pink. The supper room was lined with Christmas trees and had a root, or celling, of evergreens, swung low down. The tables were set for eight covers each, save the committee table, and the patronesses' table, each seating twelve. The ball opened at a little after 10 o'clock, Mrs.

Edward H. Litchfield and Mrs. Jnmos L. Morgan, two of the patronesses, receiving. Nearly 300 people attended, and the show of gowns further distinguished the evening.

It was a gathering of notable General dancing lasted until close to midnight, and after supper one of the largest cotillons known in the social life of Brooklyn followed: This cotillon had two leaders, Howard J. JHaslehurst. and Thomas A. Gardiner. Mr.

Gardiner danced with Miss Madeleine Litchfield. Mr. Haslehurst with Miss Julia Avery Fish. The seventy subscribers to the ball rather to the series, for a second ball will follow on the evening of February 4 were: A. Victor' Barnes, Frank S.

The Odd Fellow Maennerchor of Brooklyn will remain with the United Cerman Singers of Brooklyn. That is the outcome of. the special meeting held last evening at headquarters, corner of Evergreen avenue and Jefferson street, which wag called for the special purpose of disposing of this question. The society, at Its last annual meeting refused to elect delegates to the United Singers, thereby virtually severing its connection: with them. The radical change of sentiment' of a majority of the members is due to the energetic work of the members of the executive committee of the United Singers, which' has been hard at work trying to prevent the' desertion of the component societies.

Presl dent August H. TIemann and Herman Scheldt of the singers were at the meeting ot the Odd Follow Maennerchor last evening and spoke fervently in favor of re talnlng membership with the United Singers. The vote in favor of, such a resolution was almost unanimous. The Odd Fellow Maennerchor elected the following' new delegates to the United Singers: Gottlob August Granz and Fritz The election of officers, which also took place last evening, was most harmonious, the entire old staff being again chosen for the ensuing year. Its members are the following: President, John Brenner; vice president, Fritz Stelninger; secretary, Frank Braun; treasurer, Gottlob Reinhardt; librarian.

Otto Buell; collector, August Granz. The new representatives to the Kings County: Odd Fellows Association, which will arrange a picnic during the coming summer, are Messrs. Frederick Fritz, Gottlob Reinhardt and August Granz. The Odd Fellow Maennerchor will have Its annual concert and ball on March 9, at Schwaben Hall, corner of Myrtle and Knickerbocker avenues.

plumbers' fit "JARVIS OF HARVARD." The Pathological Study of a Youth's JRemprsei 'for 'His First Fall Into I Temptation, With a Description of a Foot Ball Match'. "jarvls of Harvard," a novel, by Reginald Wright Kauffman. Published in Boston by L. C. Page'ffi ra" cloth) Vtmo, '403 pages, illustrated, $1.50.

Read between the lines, this is the confession, tho premature apologia pro vita sua, of a young man of high' talent, flpe temperament and ambitious who has not yet found himself and who has Started 'life with the, heavy handicap of sehaitive selfrconsoiousness, with it3 inevitable cohsequenca of morbid self analysis. Such a man prepares for himself years, may bo, 'of the most poignant disappointments, which lead to despair or to ultimate salt knowing and new determination, according to his inh'er'ent mental equipment. A grain of stamina more or less decides the scale toward increasing Banity and resolution, or toward the gradual break up of a steadfast ambition into centrifugal. fritter ings. Read on the surface, It Is the story of a weak' young man, who is Incapable of holding tho whip hand of his own destiny and who becomes the mere sport of circumstance in the shape of woman; and the fact that he ends by marrying the right woman would not, it the fiction were fact, make one iota of difference in the final The destiny of a self knowing mind can never be altered by a favorable chance; noblesse oblige, the high mind can never shirk its responsibilities, and a stroke of luck only puts off day of reckoning, while weakening the power by a delusive period of rest.

To the hero of such a book, were he real, Instead of fictitious, one would be tempted to proffer the futile advice of experience; to know one's self first, but to know also the real world, and whether the imagined self Is really compatible with that world; and, if circumstances justify a doubt, to put aside for a few years all attempt at self analysts and. to let the world disclose the iron bands it conceals under its elasticity before deciding irrevocably on a career. One would gather, for instance, that Jarvls looked to the career of authorship; his morbid egotism would then make him produce a book In which the same proportion of mundane life would be unbalanced ty an overweight of egotism; the book would' bo a failure; and Jarvis, unstable, easily depressed, would waste a year in despair and then begin again where he began incurring new disappointment and dulling his capacity to assimilate experience. But if, on the contrary, he had outlived his weakness in the early troubles of college, and' love. If, when he wrote the book that failed, he already knew himself, then he would not be depressed, but would take his failure as a valuable lesson and apply the lesson to another attempt with renewed self confidence.

"Jarvis of Harvard" is such a book as Jar vis himself might have written. It is a failure; yet it possesses twice the artistic promise of many books that succeed. It may also prove a financial success, but It will not bo the sort of success which an artist would desire. It is critically a failure because it betrays Inexperience, both In art and In life; fpr professionally speaking It is bad art to ch6ose a subject with which the sane world at large has no 'sympathy, and the sane world has no sympathy with the morbid egotism of youth. Jarvis is a young man of fine physique and the artistic temperament.

He goes to college with an ambition to make a name for himself, but on the eve of starting he yields to the blandishments of a passionate woman and is thereafter depressed with a morbid remorse for his "first sin." Now there ts novelty and truth in this episode: the clean young man. is as virginal as the clean young woman, and his first fall Into temptation often results in a profound remorse which astonishes older persons who have forgotten their own youth. But the effects of this remorse are, In the nature of things, only a temporary reaction, since nature has a perfectly well balanced scheme In the regulation of human failings. A youth who does not quickly recover his equipoise in so large a change as his first year in college, with all its new and absbrbing interests and athletic tonics, is an. abnormal youth; the analysis of his remorse is no tings, bird cages, oil cloth, rubber shoes, ribbons, flowers, feathers, bric a brac, toys, pictures, glass and china, toilet and dinner sets, lamps, kitchen utensils, furniture, bedding, veils, brooms and brushes, globes, clocks, ca sls.

There is a feeling of remoteness from the rest ot the world, on shipboard, that "gives I the most trivial event an, importance quite beyond its real value. For the time being the boat becomes a veritable cosmos and everything and everybody connected ''with it of vital interest.

No social. function on land could carry with it halt the excitement of the delightfully unique entertainment given on bpard the Hamburg American Liners the last night of each voyage. Passengers to whom this is an unknown quantity are kept duly mystified and those who have experienced the fun before are always just as eager tor an encore to their pleasure. The ceremony follows the captain's dinner the r.lght before landing, making a fitting and memorable finale to the voyage.

From the steeples, turrets and battlements float miniature nags of all nations, while flavors of every sort and description fill up the interior of the castle.

The tender message, "Auf Wleder sehen." hangs in a frame of colored electric I lights, which gleam from a huge horseshoe of evergreens suspended in the confer of tho saloon. Suddenly comes a.sigrial and all lights are turned out, leaving the. room in total darkness, then gradually first one and another of the lights in tho horseshoe arid the castles of cake arc turned on, the band discourses sweet music and a singular procession enters the It consists of the stewards, who aro masked with false faces and wear fools' caps.
