The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-01-28

There is a great deal of mysterious in
terest about the popular newspaper
writers OF the day, and their style is more
familiar TO some intelligent readers than
Is the style of the standard and classic
authors. There is Bah, for instance,
whose versatility and converse tional
style of writing, together with her seleo-
ton of interesting subjects which she
talks of with an easy iberality of mind
and heart All this has made Bah famous

her sermons in facts and fancy have
doubtless done worlds of good, admins
tered consolation to aching hearts, and
encouragement to the helpless.

is Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who has wide
reputation and deservedly so, for her in
sight into human nature and her charac-
teristic pen pictures Then there is
Harrydell Hallmark, a talented young
Georgian who has not yet reached her

writers. She writes gracefully and with
snap and go in her style, that savors of
the inpetuous southern woman. In Wash
ington there is "Adeline" whose breezy,
clever, and original articles are read in
the Washington Post, and whose style is
strong, almost to masculine, fearless and
courageous like woman, charitable and
broad-minded like man, versatile and
communicative like a woman, and sar-
castle, like man; "Adeline" is certainly
an interesting combination.
