How W. D. Howells' Looks and Works.

In appearance W ID. Howels is rather below
the average height. His face is round, clean
heavy, except during conversation, when the
expression is materially changed and the face
is lighted with animation. The authors hair
is dark, with here and there bit of gray. and
Is worn short. One seeing Howells without
knowing who he was would mistake him for a
successful Young banker. He Is scrupulously
neat in dress, and INDUCES in none of the &C.
centricties of many literary men. He is an in.
defatigable worker and prolific producer of
sketches, essays and novels. While at home he
writes from ga. NJ. until $50, when he dimes,
and produces in that time page or two of the
Century He is a careful delineator of charac-
ter, and while not writing with the sole idea of
emphasizing some particular doctrine he strives
to teach that the best way to look at life is
through the eyes of good common sense. In
private life Howells is comprehensive, and is
an interesting taIker
