Mr. Hearn saya In a prefatory note: Most of the following or welrft tales, have been taken from old Japan ese books.

Some of the stories may have had a Chinese orl1n; the very remarkable 'Dream of A Itlnosukl, for example, Is ceitalnly from a Chlneeo source. But the Japanese story-teller In every case haa so roolored and reshaped his borrowing to nationalize it. One queer tale, Yukl-Onna, was told me by a farmer of thofu. Nlahlta magori.

I Is not like the ordinary veler's account of his wanderings, perflclul, Inconsequent, one-sided, and nerally egotistical, patched together tig brief notes jotted down as the thor flies through the country without en really seeing or understanding It. Philip Burne-Jones spent a whole hi in the United States, and his crlti-ma, always friendly, and his common-tkms, often warm, are alike founded actual knowledge and keen, thought-! observation. The author says In his eface: "A year spent In the United Cites, under very fortunate conditions, a.

What Sir Philip has to say about the omen of New York will be interesting most readers, but his views upon and ctures of a hundred other familiar pics will well repay a personal referee to the book. "One of the first things at strikes the stranger in New York, ys Sir Philip, "is the extreme smart-ss of the women all of them, rhh and or, In their varying degrees they are well 'set up," so excellently 'turned so admhably 'groomed. They hold emselves, too. beautifully, and in hat we should call the lower-middle i shop girls, telephone girls, etc.

The high average neatness Is very noticeable at once, i rarely comes across a really badly ssed woman In any rank of life. To ess well and make the very best of her sources seems a gift peculiar to the merlcan woman. Her Parisian sister, whom I suppose she would herself ad i she was occasionally indebted for efts. Is not her superior in this respect.

Imagine a well-dressed American oman Is the best dressed woman in the irJd. Another thing one notices at ce is the absence of all signs of pov-ty in the streets. That poverty exists New York as dark and terrible as that London or Paris one knows; but un-ss one burrows beneath the surface, ic knows it only by hearsay one sees ithing of it. It is a very readable book throughout, many parts of It are decidedly nuslng. especially the numerous etches and other pictures, which, as ight be expected from so great an rtist and so famous a contributor to Punch.

are frequently caustic as well clever. A fresh view of ourselves rough the eyes of others Is always inresting. and In this Instance Is especial-so, coming as tt does from such a high uthorlty.
