From G. l.. Sherman's Brattleboro letter % The
Hartford Couraut.l
To that admirable interpreter of New
England life, Miss Mary e. Wilkins, there
came the first flush of literary success
while she was in Brattleboro The family
came here from the little village of Ran
dolph, Mass, about twenty five years ago,
and here Miss Wilkinss literary lahors
were begun. 1t was in those early days
when her work had not received its popu
lar approval that her father said of the
prospects of his children: annie (Mary's
sister, is a good musician and will take care
of herself in the world, Mary has no talent
and | don't know what she will do for a
living" Annie died and Mary--well, she
has turned out successful author, who
has been reprinted in Edinburgh and
translated in Paris Said one who was
well acquainted with the family when in
Brattleboro; 'She sent off story after story,
mostly to Wide Awake at first, but she
either never heard from them or at best re-
ceived them back One day she said she
had sent little story to Harper's Bazaar,
and few days later she told me, with
sparkling eyes, how she had received S25
for it. This was the turn m the tide and

instalment of "Over the Teacups," dis
courses on the fondness of Americans for

contributes scholarly paper on Modern

an article on the Disasters of 1880" and
these three papers furnish the solid reading

chronicle of famous horse, Mr.. Quincv's
bright paper on "Cranks as Social Motors,
aud Mr.. Brisbanes Journal" the diary of
South Carolinian, written about 1901,
are among the other more notable papers.
