Women, The London Spectator declares, succeed
in fiction more frequently than do men because iey
have more opportunity for social observation 'nah
men and use it better They are not weary WIN
work when the tine for watching arrives They ap-
preciae character quickly, and see deeper into
ST. and when they make mistakes, make them so COM
petey that the character they have msread is still to
them living WHOLE though 1t happens not to be the
right whole When they tail to John rightly they
nevertheless see q John. They rarely travei OUT oi
their Depth and within their depth they have per-
cepon such as few men, except. perhaps, Mr.. hehry
James possess. accompanied by tolerance such as
men seldom display. Women are accused oil intoier-
ance and often display ii but they are not ntoierah'

evening has often been TO their women stage full OF
little dramas Of human beings or causes for silent
tears or laughter"

Mr. Lowell, " The London Spectator says, made,
as usual the finest criticism of the evening when he
said that he admired Gray not the less but the more
tor the commonI acenes in the sentiment of his most
popular poem No great poet could help striking the
note of commonplace sentiment if he wished to speak
TO all men and all ages. When Homer described
Andromaehe as smiling through her tears at the child
lie appealed to q commonplace sentiment in mankind,
hut nj the less mankind had loved and remembered
this passage tori three thousand years. There is
Spanish proverb, said Mr. Lowell which rebukes those
who ask for something better than bread Those who

dscontented with Gray but for his part he was quite
satisfied with him. Gray had satisfied him in his youth,
and he satisfied him still in age And Mr.. Lowell Is
right 1t is the rare expression given TO universal
feeling and not at all the rarity of the feeling Itself,
which discrlmnates the poet who pleases all tastes
from the poet who pleascs only few"
