THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
VICTOR HUGO'S IDEAS AS SET FORTH IN
HIS PROSE EPICS-MISS FORDS SEC
OND LITERARY CONFERENCE.


The second of the Literary Conferences, under
the direction OF Miss NJ. L. Ford. was held at the
Waldorf yesterday. the subject being Victor
Hugo's Philosophy Of Life as Set Forth in His
Prose Fpics."
The critical and Instructive analysis. as well as
the charming informality of presentation by Miss
Ford is appreciated by lovers of literature. If one
could judge by the audience assembled, notwith-
standing the incemency OF the weather.
As Victor Hugo is best known as poet, the
speaker gave "A brief review Of the circumstances
which changed his views from a writer of royalist
verse TO his later republican poems, which typhed
the progress Of humanity. in which every soul is
of equal value in birth and destiny
Miss Ford observed that she had certain impa
tiencc with Hugos women creations, for he no.
where presented a full-length portrait of great
feminine character She is always the woman of
an earthly Paradise. 'pupy souls who show a
dnple for each touch of sin'-"rays of light"
"dewdrops"-but never a working factor In the
ethical evolution of life. his men are.
The three great prose epcs considered were In
logical sequence THE Toilers of the Sea" les
Miserabes" and "Notre Dame" although the last
was written first and considered in the lecture
1t has been said OF "Notre Dame that ut is a
romance with cathedral as heroine but the
point. typifes spirit, and from the ethical human

given TO the world. That its influence Ia less TO-
dav Is because there is less OF the broad repub-
lican spirit. II treats of humanity-a reaching
out OF human souls to others in brotherhood. In
The Toiers Of the Sea IS represented the contest
with Nature by which man hopes 10 accomplish
progress by bending the elements to his purposes
Miss Ford said personally. she preferred poems
in sympathy with Nature. and alluded to a prose
poem Of Daudets. wherein the sweet influences
Of Nature produced the most bencf1cent results.
In the discussion which followed, Mr. kavanagh
probably voiced the sentiment OF ma Jority of the
audience IN saving that ne had never realized the
symbolic significance OF Hugos work until he had
listened TO the admirable lecture of the day.
Among others asked TO speak were Mrs Sarah
Cowc lie Moyne, Mrs. Donald Mclean and Miss
Elliott. 49,
