These sketches, five of which have been grouped under the title of The
Affairs of Anatol," may be accepted as the last word in philandering. Their
easy morat is hat variety is the spice of life. In Schnitzten Vienna
nothing could be more simple, and even here in stad New York it may be

over innocent little adventures of their own in following Affairs of
Anatol." Indeed, it may now be counted as a certainty that daughter will

Excellent tasta has been shown by
Winthrop Ames in staging the sketches,
