for the next contest, Advocates of Realism
| A nice book will be given TO the person send
ing the best paper. not to exceed 800 words, adj
dressed to her. at 720 North Clinton street, De-
fance, o.. before March ]. 1897. Upon the
scope of the papers she writes as follows:
We hear much of realism in arr, drama. and
| fiction. Many of our most widely. read writer's
of to-day contend that the creators of the
Modern School Of Fiction will rely almost,
| il not entirely, upon realism pure and simple,
| as foundation stone upon which they will
construct their little histories Of the pain and
| pleasure, the joys and sorrows. and all the
| varying emotions crowded into a human life. y
Realism is exempliied to-day in the work
produced by the younger writer's, such as Ham.
| lin Garland. Among the oder and more ma
ture writers we find w. d. Howells and a num-
| Der Of others equally as well known to the
reading public.
As our next progress work we will discuss.
review, and study the works Of the two au-
| thors named, or any other writer's Of the same
kind. Among w. ID. Howells's most popular
works we find "a Hazard Of New Fortunes y
"A Foregone Conclusion" and "Chance Ac.
! quaintance." The frst is published by Harpers
and the last two by Houghton. Mr.. Howells
| wrote the introduction to MAIN Travelled
Roads, /" by Hamlin Garland.
| We wish to make this subject general so that
| it may interest all. We will lay down no dis
| tinct outline for your work, but it may be q
| brief review of any Of the works mentioned, OF
any of the other works of the other two, or
any other reaist, or presentation of the
writer's own views the subject, just as fancy
or inspiration may direct.
