parent to an outsider perhaps than to
those closer at hand. The members or
this club and their friends have form
ed the nucleus of a constantly growing
literary movement, and have made
possible many large enterprises in the
world of letters recently established in
Philadelphia. Among the members OF
this group who have gained or are
gaining more than local reputation are
such poets as Weir Mitchell. Harrison
Morris, Charles Leonard Moore, the
late Coates. Francis Howard Williams,
and Langdon Mitchell-such critics
and essayists as Agnes Replier, Talcott

camping and a good deal of shooting
big game. and still more of missing
big game, as he puts 1t in talking about
his experiences. Returning east he
completed a course at the Harvard law
school, taking his degree, and settled
down to the practice of his profession
at Philadelphia. His continuous trips
TO the Rocky mountains gradually de-

great-grandson both Of Senator Butler
and OF Charles Kemble. the distin-

Miss Butler. married a member OF the
Wister family of Philadelphia, where
he was born in 1860. AS a boy he was
sent TO school for short terms In Eng

his preparatory course at st. PauI $

course in music under Professor Paine
at Harvard, and with the advice OF
