Mannix sends the second installment of her article "TwoSchools" with comments on the plot and characters in the story. What a fine word picture is Charles Warren Stoddard's "In the Desert". She wishes he would write a novel with her. There never were such boys as Eliza Allen Starr's boys, save in her imagination. Mannix has a pretty story in the French by Daudet, entitled "The Mother of a Marchioness" that has never been translated. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
