The It. Paul Press Is evidently
fishing for another libel suit. 1t ac-
cuses the ladies Of that city, or at
least many Of them, of being good
poker players, and that four regularly
organized clubs exist in the city, and
that at times the betting runs high and
that more than one saalskin cloak has

There Is narrow belt OF hill and river
country in Northeastern Massachusetts,
including Concord and Audover which has
been the cradle Of much good and great
American literature.
Andoyer, the little seminary town,
with its theological and female semina-
ries and its Philips academy, seems not
only to disseminate learning but to foster
the genius of production in literature.
For there Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
wrote her "Uncle Toms Cabin" while
her husband, Prof. Stowe, instructed the
theological students in the embryosit!es
of divinity Though Mrs. Stowe mas now
removed household goods from Andover
to that sunny plantation in Florida, where
she can bask in the gratitude OF the eman-
cipated slave, the people of Andover still
point out lovingly the landmarks of her
New England stories, and one can easily
recognize about the village stores and
postoillce the Yankee figures that have
appeared in cold Town Folks" Up under
the brow of beautiful hill is Mrs

The charm of "Guennr Is that which
one finds in beautiful French painting

peasants she has so faithfully portrayed
Last winter she was urged TO dramatic
"GuenE," ard although then deep in
"Aubray Torres" which was to be pub
llshed In the summer, she applied herself
to that work, and we may expect soon to
see that spirited novel in action on the
stage.

Stoves log cabin, built in memory of
Uncle TOMS but in Il style TO suit the
rigorous requirements OF a New England
climate. OF a younger generation, the
daughter and not the wife Of Professor
is Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, still
resident Of Audover, where the beautiful
Old colonial house Of Prof. Phelps is
pointed out as one OF the sights Of the viii
lage.
Miss Phelps made her debut some fif.
teen years ago with the "Gates Alar."
This singular story, which dwells upon
the life beyond the grave with intense
reality, was prompted by an acute per-
sonal experience, and the agony of the
loss of friend for whose sake Miss
Phelps. though very beautiful and at.
tractive women still remains single.
Some of the experiences and joys of
single blessedness Miss Phelps has put
into charming little story called "Old
Maids Paradise" which has sequal now

The real sense OF cold Maids Para

Phelps has built for herself at Gloucester,
on Cape Ann, where she spends much of
her time, doing good among the fisher
folk, and feeding her indignation upon
the wild scenery of the lonely Massachu-
sets coast.

children and grown people.
Her path wasn't always smooth or

from publishers who later regretted IFS
rejection.

SUMMER WAS one Of the phenomenal
literary successes in 1875, Is q daughter
Of Maine, and the bright little summer
story found its scene on the shore OF
Maine, In the quaint, attractive old town
of Wiscasset Those who are familiar
with the pretty bits of description in
zone Summer can hardly fail to
recognize "The Elms,n where the story
was laid, as the home of Miss Towards
I sisters.
Miss Howard Is the daughter OF ID. NJ.
Howard, prominent business man of
Bangor, Me. To those who knew her
from childhood she always showed that
strength of purpose and wealth of
language which have been among the
secrets of her literary success. Yet, ex-
cept as the home of her youth, Bangor
can hardly lay claim to having inspired
either zone Summer or any Of those
novels which have since added so much
fame TO her name. Wiscasset had also
much influence upon "Aunt Serena
though but portion OF the manuscript
was written there, the bulk of the mate
rial being obtained aud modelled In Stutt-
CART.
A new and hitherto unheard.of writer,
who meets as much success as Miss
Howard by her first novel, can hardly
fail to excite curiosity and interest, and
she was the subject of more
iictious than even her versatile pen
could devise in score OF
years. Not the slightest economy was
used in the dee cription of her appearance,
the details OF her life and the circum-
stances under which her book was writ

schoolgirl, now fair young widow,
now sour old maid, now a brightsocie-
ty belle. As fact Miss Howard is a
handsome woman, we should say in the
neighborboOd of thirty-ilve. Though we
claim her as a literary representative OF
Maine, she has been since 1876 resident
of Stuttgart, Wurtemburg, returning to
her native shores only periodically TO
present her favored publishers with some
new work of her hands. The beautiful
