TWO COMEDIES: AN ILL WIND; AN ABJECT APOL- 

 OGY. By F. DoNALDSo.v, Jr. Fcap. Svo. Paper, elegant. 50 cents. 



These comedies belong to the same class of literature as do the lightest of 

 Austin Dobson's lyrics and Andrew Lang's least serious essays, and their form 

 is admirably suited to the depicting of the foibles and rather weak passions of 

 that indefinite caste, American societv. They are c-idently modelled on the 

 French vaudeville, and their characters are clever people, who say bright things. 

 Why should we not chnose the people we describe from the clever minority, 

 instead of making them, as is sometimes done, unnecessarily dull, although 

 perhaps more true to nature at large ? Mr. Djuald-^on has done so, and much 

 of the dialogue in these comedies is clever as well .as amusing.
