ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT

We print in another column the inquiry OF Il
Southcrn correspondent as In the reason why
stories of New England life deal so drvoicdly
with the humber members of society The
question is pertinent. Many readers have
doubtless noticed the absence Of educated pco-
ole from The first planes Of those admirable
pct,rcs in American literature to which our
correspondent refers But the explanation is
not easily Forthcoming. one might look for II
inuntily in the facts of the civilization in New
England villages, but such an investigation
ter lies in the hands OF The rOmancrrS. with
all due respect for the hypothesis Of the OBJ
server who might have spent some time in
studying the subject. but who had not the
sclcctivc gift of the artist, we still would feel
an mistaken confidence in the judgment of
Mary f.. wilkins and Sarah Ornc Jcwctt, the
late Maria Louise Pool and the late Rose Terry
Cooke. Miss Allied Brown and several other
writers. If they have unanimously restricted
themselves more or less TO one stratum OF New
England society, ii has probably been because.
with the instinct Of artists, they have discovered
that stratum 10 be the one best adapted 10 the
purposes Of literature. Good reasons have de
tprmincd their choice Of that much we may
De sure though Il minute eXplcatOn Of them
could only be given by The nOvcslS themselves.
And if they failed our correspondent we would
not he surprised. Poets. painters and romanccrs
have always been hard put TO ii TO justify their
inspiration by anything save the beauty Of their
work

sided. Ali agreed that there should be
an advance in prices Of standard goods
rather than cheapening Of the quality.
The shoe men say that the advance in
leather Is the cause. Cincinnati manu-
facturers met several weeks ago, and
after long discussion of conditions sent
circular letters to the manufacturers Of
other cities, requesting them to organize
and send delegates to the Philadelphia
convention. A meeting Of the local man.
ufacturers will be held before the Phtla-
delphia convention. Chairman Marin
said:
1.-THE Philadelphia convention will be
national in its character, and will in
clude representatives from every shoe
manufacturing company in the country.
The leather people are forming to take
action. It is a subject that interests
every manufacturer, and the next meet
