One morning of the year IR07, tho literary son of a New York bUhop stopped hi a Broadway hook more to look over the latest Importations from Kiw lnnd nnd to chat with tho pro prietor. 1 .. vVs he spoke of Italian lltoratu.e, rt rourtly stranger Interrupted. He Had known puraonally the po-t the hlshop'fi son had mentioned. The New Yorker was Clement loore, future author of "The Night Before Christmas." Tlu stranger wa Lorenzo Da Ponte. Mozart librettist. That winter, n.v der Moore's patronage, the la Pontes were, the social l!on of Now York. This anecdote U nanaled in Ar- thur Llvlngston'H Intrnditctlou to the "MemohH of Lorenzo 1 1 Ponto' recently translated from the Italian hy Klliabeth Aobott. Porn into a Jewish family nf Oeneda, Italy, Pa Ponte was a product oT the times that guve (he world Glacomo Casanova. In fad. Da Ponte wan a friend of Casa nova. Gnco. on hi way to Dresden, ho had remembered that CaMinova owed him several hundred florin-. Da Ponte, therefore, "ventured to pay him a vlult In hope of oh tulnlng all or part of the money due me." "I went nnd Wa well received." he wrote, "but soon ohervlni that his purse wa tenner than mine. I could not put him to tho morti fication of asking for something ho would have been unable to nlve; so after a v I 1 1 of three or four days 1 decided to go on to Dres den.

Be that as It may, Livingston adds that "to call him. In hlsj Kuropcan phase, n Casanova Is at ; once to slander and to overpraise' him." "Ho was not," Livingston pays. J "even in Kin ope, a charlatan, a j swindler and a sharper . . he j was. rather, at the worst, a usurer; and a speculator, handicapped by. n large dose of native honesty and. a tender heart." As for Casanova, S. Guy Kndore ! has attempted In a recent book named for him to assemble lhe( k now n n ml u n k n o w n facts of his life.
