Thomas Iinrdy's Early DAYS,

Mr.. Thomas Hardy has just reached
his sixty-flrst birthday. He began to
scribble, as he says himself, when he
was sixteen. and in his early years he
appears to have acquired some reputa-
ton as a writer-as caligraphist, IL
not as an author. Long before he was
old enough to understand much about
Cupid he would write love letters for
the village girls to their soldier sweet
hearts in India. He did not compose
the letters, but merely acted as amanu-
ensis; but Mr.. Hardy remembers TO
this day how he came tC be regarded
IN tho village as sort OF n writing
