MRS souIH"ohrH' Her first novel "Re-

sequent efforts securely confirmed 1t.
In 1871 Miss Nevirfe-this was her
maiden name, married Frederick II.
Southworth, in Utica, n. Y. Two years
later she was thrown on her own re-
sources by his desertion, "broken in
spirit, health and purse-a widow in
fate, but not in fact-with my babes
looking up to me for a support could
not give Them" as she forcibly relates.
This was suffering added to suffer
ing, for in early years her sight was
affected and her childhood was excep-
tionally unhappy. Her father died
when she was about 4 years old, and,
under the care of her mother and
grandmother, she passed her glrlhood
In solitude and misery.
Necessity spurred her to action and
she became a teacher. Then she turn
ed to literature and produced "Retalia-
ton"
This was the turning point in hrr ca
reer. Other works were written, and
within FIVE years she had achieved a
competence. "The Deserted Wife,
"Shannondale," 'The Mother-in-Law, i"
children of the Isle" "The Lost Heir
ess' and other volumes followed in
quick succession.
She was enabled in 1853 to remove to
charming villa on the Potomac
Heights, at the west end of George
town, which she called Prospect Cot

her home becoming the resort of distin-
guished people from all parts of the

No part of the human cOuntenance
engages our attention so frequently
as the eyes. When face to face in
conversation we do not look ut the
lips-although as n rule. the attention
is very quickly taken by any move
ment-but at the eyes of the person
with whom we are speaking. So much
is this the case that the habit of many
deaf people of watching the mouth nj
ways strikes us as peculiar. In fact,
one usually feels that there is a sense
of incomplpteneSS in the association
Of mind with mind by means of con-
versation If there is not a continual
interchange of glances, making a kind
of running commentary on the words
spoken. The same may he said Of or
binary greetings when two people
shake hands; unless there is at the
same moment a meeting of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much of its
meaning.
Now. why IS there this continual
meeting Of eyes accompanying all
kinds Of human Intercourse? Partly.
no doubt, It is attributable to certain
