IRISH PEACE MOVES.

STILL SEEKING BASIS FOK FORMAL CONFERENCE.

LONDON, July 21.

A communique states that Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. De Valera con ferred for an hour to-day. The basis for a formal conference has not yet been found. Mr. De Valera has arranged to return to Ireland to-morrow and communicate with Mr. Lloyd George again after further discussion with his colleagues

HOPES AND FEAR.

LONDON, July 22.

While some quarters in Dublin fear that a hitch bas occurred in the Irish negotiations, well-informed circles generally are still optimistic, and have no disposition to consider that negotiations have broken off. It is expected that Mr. De Valera will submit the whole case to Dail Eireann which can modify if advisable the pledges entered into, before Mr. De Valera's conversations with Mr. Lloyd George. Well-informed circles in London are confident that the Irish delegation will soon return to London.

OPTIMISTIC VIEWS,

LATER.

In explanation of the Irish situation it is pointed out that a very hopeful sign is the continuance of the truce. The Earl of Crewe in the House of Lads yesterday optimistically declared. "If negotiations should grove successful, and at present I am glad to say that they seem charged with hope, it is conceivable that the assembly of Parliament may be necessary in the autumn." He pointed out that Mr. De Valera and his colleagues had been elected to Dail Eireann on the republican ticket and therefore did not possess authority to abate the demand. A prominent Irishman in London last night declared: "We as not less optimistic to-day than we were two days ago.”

SECOND EMPIRE.

WITTY WOMEN,

MEMORIES OF THE FALLS ROYAL,

Paris in the 'sixties had assuredly Lan atmosphere of romance, and Mr. Max Pemberton. In his new book "Prince of the Palais Royal" {Cassell, 8. 6d.), distils it into series of stories which will add to his reputa tion and leave the reader with a host of impressions of thoss hectic days in which Louts Napoleon was prepar- ing his own doom.

Most of the storica are about WODICE, the women who made us what we were in the great days of the Empire," "that bejewelled com-

pany of matchless courtesana which attracted to our city the great of every land, and gave us a reputation for wit and vivacity which other countries envied."

There you have the character of the narrator of the tales, the manager of a famous restaurent disguised as | Biguy's, in the Palais Royal.

He

own portrait a be reveals himself in Mr. Pamberton's ingenious records of adventure, amorous and otherwise. He is a smooth, suave scoundrel who, as he is told bluntly by cds who has no reason to fear him 'would do anything for a thousand france."

He is in the pay of the police, who pump" him about the diners at his restaurant if they happen to be under suspicion for political or other causes. He receives rewards from the Emperor's own hand and is "ever proud to take from his pocket a cigar-case of gold with the Imperial crown in diamonds upon it." The "proudest moment of his life" is that in which he is presented to their Majesties.

EMPEROR'S WEAKNESS. Here is a sketch of the royal pair : "Never have I seen her Majesty the Empress look more beautiful than upon this memorable - night. Her costume of crimson satin with pearls and diamonds more famous than any in Europe gare emphasis to that. dignity of bearing becoming to the people, and few in the great ballroom
