NICE Prosper Merimee wrote his
~ Letters to an Incognita" litera-
ture in the shape of correspondence
has received no more interesting con-
trlbution than the much talked of An
English Woman's Love Letters The
letters Which purport to be written by
a woman to her fance, breathe the
most exalted love. The hero of the
story, either incapable of approaching
or unable to claim SO unsefish a dsvo-
ton, wounds the writer by his request
for freedom, and she dies perhaps of a
broken heart. The letters are repre-
sented to be published at the dead wo-
mans request and appear as they We're
originally written, excepting that
names of persons and places have hean
changed in order to avoid identification.
The popularity of AN English Wo-
mans Love Letters, aside from the
interest and quality of the narrative,
lies in the riddle it presents. Why did
the Englishman without any warning
break the engagement His mother
had opposed the marriage with inn
placable determination from the begin-
ming OF the betrothal. OF the theo-
ries advanced to explain the strange
severance of the enga cement one is

it either because his love had grown
cold or because he had quiNotic idea
of duty to his parent. Other answers
to the riddle are that there may have
been insanity, some terrible family Sc
cret on one side or the other or some
unacknowledged tie of blood known to
the mother and Of which she finally ar
prised her son. Jealousy of the foster
brother mentioned in the letters is
brought forward as another solution.
but it seems too paltry and too little
supported by evidence to be worthy of
acceptance. Each reader of the love
letters has an explanation of the trag-
edy, and the theories differ widely.
An English Wonlans Love Letters
are unacknowledged, and, whether the
mystery that surrounds them will eve,
be dissipated, either in regard to the
identity of the writer or the enigma in
the story, is one of the burning ques-
tions Of the hour in literary circles.
The authorship of this much talked Of
book has been ascribed to number of
English literary women, for it is admit
ted that only master hand could have
penned the epistles. John Oliver
Hobbies (Airs. Craigie), Marie Coreili
Edith Wharton, Sarah Grand, Mrs
Humphry Ward and Beatrice Harraden
have each denied that they know aught
of the letters.
Some critics are Of the opinion that
the book was written by man, giving
