REPLY TO THE CRITICS.
Americanism of American Literature
Its Chief Value to E~ng1ishmen.

English critics of the beginning Of the
century so convincingly set forth the rea-
sons why America, absorbed in the COLI
quest Of nature and in material progress.
could not produce anything great in the
way of literature, that their
remain embedded in many minds even to
this day, when events have conclusively
falsified them. writes William Archer in
the Pail Mall Gazette. It is quite a
commonplace with some people that
America has not developed a great Amer
lean literature. If this merely mean that
in casting off her allegiance to George
III. America did not cast off allegiance
to Chaucer, Swift, Pope, the reproach, if
it be one, must be accepted. If it be a
humiliation 70 American authors to own
the traditions and standards established
by these men, and thereby enroll them
selves in their immortal fellowship, why.
Their it must be owned that they have
deliberately incurred that humiliation.
One American of vivid originality tried
to escape it, and with what result? Sim
NV that Whitman noiGs a place of his
own, somewhat like that of Blake, one
might say, in the literature of the Eng
fish language, and has produced at least
as much effect in England as in America.
If, on the other hand, it be implied that
American literature feebly initiates Eng
lish literature, and fails to present an
original and adequate Interpretation of
American life, no reproach could well be
more f1agrantly unjust. It is not only the
abstract merit of American literature,
though that is very high, but precisely
the Americanism of it, that gives it it's
value in the eyes Of ali thinking English

An American Countess who Tells al
Interesting Story.

Comtesse Lovean de Chavanne, an
American girl, has written from her own
experiences a book, in which she advises
other American women to avoid entering
into alliances with foreign noblemen. The
comtesse herself has had a most unfor-
tunate experience. She was Ouirda Ben
son Of Brooklyn, the daughter of Henry
JOIN Benson, a captain in the revenue
service, and a niece of John Benson, the
California millionaire, and also of Arch
bishop Benson of Canterbury. She went
to school at Paris, and there she met the
count, who married her, as she now
knows, because of the $1,000 900 she in
herited from her San Francisco uncle.
The count himself was of a splendid fami-
ly and a member of the family of a fa>
nous artist, Purvis de Chavanne. When
the count had spent all of her money he
treated her shamefully. She left her I'M
worthy spouse and, shaking the dust of
the Faubourg de st. Germaine from her
shoes came to Philadelphia, where she had
several cousins, who welcomed her gladly.
Now she has written this book, which she
says she will publish from a sense of duty,
to warn other American girls lest they en-
counter q similar fate. The countess is
tall, with golden hair and a lovely COM
plexion. She is bright and witty and her
book is certain to be interesting, especial
ly as she has had much literary expert
ence, having written for Figaro and
LEtolle de Beige. No name has yet been
decided upon for the forthcoming book.

"If half the citizens of the world" said
a young woman who works on umbrella
covers, "only knew such a simple thing
as how to roll up an umbrella, most of
the umbrellas brought to dealers to be
mended would never nave needed repairs.
"The right way to roll your umbrella
is to take hold of the ends of the ribs
and the stick with the same hand and
hold them tightly enough to prevent them
being twisted while the covering is being
twirled around with the other hand.
Then your umbrella will be as nicely
closed as when you bought it, and the
only wear and tear will be on the cloth.
around the stick and fastening them
there that spoils most of the umbrellas
Never hold the umbrella by the handle
alone when you roll it up and got will
find it will last longer and cost less for
