six years Of age, she has ample time be
fore her in which to develop the promise
of her youth. Two little baby daughters
occupy all the time not devoted to htera-
ture, though in spite of her domestic
cares Mrs. Almon-H ensley is now at
work upon a novel which will in all
probability be published this autumn.
Her bright, attractive manner makes
her host of friends wherever she goes,
ard she particularly excels-where so
many literary people, both men and
women, fail-in being brilliant con-
vorsationist. Mr.. and Mrs. Hensley at
present reside in New York.
A Canadian by adoption, Mrs. Sarah
Curzon is an English woman by birth,
but as she came TO Canada young and
all her literary work has been done
there, Canadian subjects forming the
principal themes of her facile pen, she
may be fairly called a Canadian. A
short time ago she published a collection
of poems, including one Of the best
known of her works, n drama entitled
Laura Secord," based upon historical
incident in the life of that Canadian
heroine.
Mrs. Curzon has from time to time
occupied various editorial positions, be-
sides being the special correspondent for
numerous daily and weekly papers.
She is the mother of a family and
most earnest advocate of the higher ed
ucation and advancement of women.
For what she has accomplished she has
had severe struggle, for her attention
was turned to literary and educational
matters at time when TO he considered
"blue" was to be regarded as bold and
repulsive. if not positively wicked. In
addition to her regular work for Cana
dian journals. she is a valued contributor
10 many English and American maya
zines.
Latterly Mrs. Curzon has been devot-
ing her pen to monographs upon his
torical subjects, and in recognition of
her services in this line she has been
created aa honorary member Of several
historical societies and associations.
Verse, the simple Tilt Of the ballad
and the grand flow of the Alexandrine,
has always had charm for her, and
from time to time she published num-
Der Of fugitive pieces. The most i'm
portant of these she has republished in
her book, which has been most favorably
criticised and reviewed.
Mrs. Curzon began literary career
at a time when prejudice was strong
against women doing so, and to her be-
longs the honor of having fought many
battles that have rendered it now COM
parativcly easy for any woman who has
the desire to enter the arena upon equal
terms with all corners.

She has crossed the ocean no less than
eighteen times, and in both London and
New York society has a large circle
of connections and friends.
One of the first writers to explore the
French Canadian field for character and
descriptive sketches was Frances Harri'
eon. better known as Seranus. Mrs
Harrison. who is native Of Ontario, be-
gan writing reviews for the Toronto
Mail at the early age of sixteen, and was
for four years editor Of The Week, To
ronto. at that time in the hands Of Pro-
lessor Goodwin Smith. To Temple Bar,
Of London; The Cosmopolitan and New

slant contributor. OF her book Crowd

press spoke most highly, as they also
have of her latest works, "Pine Rose"
and "Fleur-de-Lis." Seranus is also wide
" known in the musical world as a COM
poser of several songs and piano forte
pieces. which have been published at
various times in New York, London and
Philadelphia.

"With brains" was the truthful II
rather conceited reply. And with brains

DO remembered, is a clever and most
amusing account OF the very unconven-

two girls alone.
Sarah Jeanette Duncan is the daugh-

q pleasant, old fashioned house sur

briliancy ard yivacity Of expression.
While III New Brunswick she married
the late Eon. A. Seely. a prominent
government official in the maritime
province, and after her marriage she
Travelled for a number of years, visiting
Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, Rus
STA, Burmah, India and South America.
Shortly after Mr.. Seely's death she
settled in New York and there married
Count Adolphus Norraikow, an exiled
Russian noble, who had been wealthy
and well known lawyer in st. Peters
burg, but whose opinions did not please
the imperial government. The countess
is ''woman Of the world" in the best
sense Of the term. a fine musician and
an accomplished linguist. She is con-
slant contributor to the Harper publ
cations, The Cosmopolitan, The Inde-
pendent, Lippincott's Magazine, etc.

though she is a native born Canadian.
OF medium height, with brown hair,
dark blue eyes and an aquiline nose,
Mrs. Harrison gives an immediate i'm
preston of intellectual attainments.
Her husband, Mr.. J. Harrison, is a
professional musician, lately of Bristol,
England, but resident now in Toronto,
where he is prominent in musical cir
cles.
A very charming woman and equally
charming writer is Sophie Almon-Hens-
ley. Poetry is her special gift, and her
published pieces show rare depth and
tenderness of feeling. Two of her SON
nets, "There Is No God" and Triumph"
appeared in Douglas Sladens' younger
American Poets" She is a disciple OF
Professor G.. d. Roberts, inasmuch as he
directed her studies and taught her the
principles of ancient and modern poetry.

father nor mother nor any other mem

While on hor trip around the world
Miss Duncan met Mr. +. Cotes, of Cal

married, and India is now her home.
In appearance Miss Duncan, or rather
Mrs. Cotes. shows her Irish parentage
in her dark hair, fair skin and blue
gay eyes with their wonderful glow

has sweet, earnest expression. At pres

anxious TO have the matter determined. and
he was in favor OF discussing the question.
Chairman Wood said that the subject was

He personally was in favor of a primary,
but was not in favor of il for April 9TH. He
did not consider that the election Of these
delegates should in any way be arranged so
as 10 conflict with the city primary, but
thought that sufficient time would be allowed
after the meeting of the State committee.
and therefore thought the subject should be
