The award Of the bronze medal Of

petition for the advantages which such
badges of distinction carry in their

years Of study under most favoring
conditions, as they SO often do, they
bring to an artist instant and wide

novel manner Of treatment. Perhaps
it was her own sweet youth in the
blood that led her Imagination away
from the additionally mature Cecilia,
and made it dwell rather upon the
heavenly maid when inspiration first
dawned upon her youthful conscious
ness. With few clever. effective
strokes she has achieved the sweetly
serious face and pose Of the young

Kuck was awarded Lord Leighton's

her to adopt the artists profession. In

At the outbreak of the war between
the states the people of the south were
bitterly opposed to everything of north
crn origin. and they very naturally
decided to boycott the literature Of
that section. This was all that they
could do. The blockade was effective,
and northern books could not cross the
line. At rare intervals shipment
came through and was at once confis-
Gated. The southern people and their
newspapers began to ridicule the lit
erature OF the north. All that was
original was namby-pamby or immoral,
lied. This was the way the southern
press and people talked.
But could the new republic create a
literature in a day? There were bold
spirits who made the effort William
Gilmore Simms wrote stories which
were not at all comparable with his
early productions. John Esten Cooke
laid aside the pen for the sword. and
dashed through the country with Stu
arts cavalry. James d. McCabe, Jr.,

de-Camp." novel Of the war. while a
member of the Washington artillery
wrote "Clarimonde," story now for

"Macaria." the weakest OF her nov
els. because 1t was sectional. After a
year or so the confederates gave their
literary craze a rest. Edward Pollard

historical and literary subjects. but the
novelists and poets took vacation.
