The Oliver Ditson Co. has published a pamphlet of "Trilby" songs, etc., containing the words and music of "Ben Bolt," "Malbrouck," "Bonjour, Suzon," "Der Nussbaum" ("The Nut-tree") "Cantique de Noël" and "Au Clair de la Lune," and the music of Chopin's "Impromptu." * * * * * On March 1, 1895, a postcard was sent from the office of _Life_, calling the attention of "exchange editors" throughout the country to "A 'Trilby' Examination." We reprint the card in full:-- "_Life's Monthly Calendar_ offers a series of cash prizes for the best sets of replies to the following questions on 'Trilby': 1. What does the author claim as the king of all instruments? Who does he claim was the greatest violinist of his time? What does he call the most bourgeois piece of music he knows? 2. What was Svengali's real name? 3. Where does the author state that he is a social lion? Where does he deny that he is a snob? 4. Where does he bring Little Billee in contact with Punch? 5. What did the Laird call M. le général Comte de la Tour-aux-Loups? 6. In what places does the author compare Gecko to a dog? 7. How old was Trilby when she died? 8. What was Little Billee's physical explanation of his inability to love? 9. What verbal description of one of the heroes contradicts almost every one of the author's drawings of him? 10. What incident of the story is inconsistent with the author's own argument in behalf of the nude in art? "Dear Sir: The above questions are covered by our copyright, but in view of the popular interest in 'Trilby,' you may wish to reproduce them. We should be more than pleased to have you do so, if you will give us credit. Yours very truly, JAMES S. METCALFE, Editor and Manager _Life's Monthly Calendar_." The Songs in "Trilby"
