NOTES AND QUERIES
A statement was made in last week's
Courieu concerning the prolific work
of Anthony Hope. Can you give me any
definite information concerning the date
of their publication? M. G.
Tho statement made in last week's
Courier was raoh and partially in
correct. It was corrected in tho proof,
but the compositor did not heed the
correction. Mr. Hawkins published her
first book, "A Man of Mark," in 1839 at
his own expense, and impoverished him
self thereby. From that time until the
success of "The Prisoner of Zenda," Mr.
Hope's life was by no means all roses.
At this time he looked on the bar as
his career in life, and, far from think
ing of literature as a profession, he
simply wrote for amupement. "Father
Stafford," published in 1890, was his
second book, also a financial failure;
then followed the writing of short
stories for the St. James Gazatte, several
of which were republished in the vol
ume entitled "Sport Royal." "Mr. Witt's
Widow," published in 1882, was more
successful; "A Change of Air and
"Half a Hero" were published the follow
ing year. "Haifa Hero" by the way,
has just been reissued by Harper's in a
new edition. Then he wrote i'The
Prisoner of Zenda," which established
his reputation. Subsequent books of
his are "The Dolly Dialogues," "The
God in the Car," "The Indiscretion of
the Duchess," and at present he is en
gaged on a series of romantic stories,
the scene of which is laid in an imagin
ary Italian republic in theMiddle Ages.
Who is the artist that HIi-ftietcF Ibr,
syndicate articles in the Stats Journal?
Is he a New York man? D. P.
Heaven only knows, I do not. I
think he is probably a New York man,
at least I hope he does not dwell in
Lincoln. I think that the Journal
syndicate artist and Mr. Fred Kettler,
who frescoed the Lansing drop curtain
must be one and the same. I do not
think that two such masters of form
and drawing couldinhabit this unworthy
perhse at one time

When a gentleman asks a lady to a
dance is he expected to send flowers?
That is a leading question. Theoret
ically it sometimes seems a sad waste
of duty to drag roses to a dance where
they are crushed and laid about on
window sills and divans and steam
radiators until they wilt and half the
time are stolen by some black hearted
wretch at the close of the ball. But
practically I should say its the thing to
send flowers. It makes the girl feel
complete and content and altogether
well treated. Flowers are customary
like gloves and fans, and to be without
them is to be more or less uncomfort
able. Of course they are really not
necessary and the gentleman who
omits to send them can not be criticised,
but when they are sent they certainly
aod greatly to the young lady's
pleasure, and to her graciousness and
charm. That the gentleman takes her to
the dance is merely a regulation matter
of form, he may do it under protest and
compulsion, because her card was puj
in his invitation or at the entre ty of a
despairing hostess. But flowers are a
personal and individual attention, and
they indicate that the young man is
interested in the evening and h er enjoy
ment of it.
