According to Harper's literary bulletin, Mrs.
Humphrey Ward dislikes making speeches, and
avoids the unpleasant duty whenever it is pos
sible to do so. When she feels the obligation
unavoidable she talks with excellent effect, but
in so low a tone that only those sitting near
can follow her discourse. At the recent dinner
given in her honor at the New Vagabohd CUB
London, she was introduced by Mr.. Jerome X
Jerome in a humorous speech, to which Mrs
Ward responded by saying that while she did
not know the sensations Of three men in
boat" she knew very well how it felt to be "one
woman in a fright" Her manner when speak
ing is very earnest, and her subject matter gen
orally Of a serious character.

Mrs Poultney Bigelow has written a novel
called The Middle Course which the Smart
Set Publishing Company is just bringing out.
In it there is this description of NewYork:
A place that is not over comfortable for the
| rich and quite impossible for the poor. One
! must be either millionaire or a pauper to live
/ there What strikes me as remarkable, when
| ever go back, is the number of we'll dressed
women. Hardly any one looks dowdy, and yet
one knows that they are not all rich. You can
| conceive how grotesque it is to see women in
beautiful gowns hanging on to a strap in an
electric tramcar liable to be sent at any mo-
ment into the laps Of strange men, who do not
! get up to give them a seat
Mr. Frederic Rernngton's novel, John Ermine
! Of the Yellowstone" has been dramatized, and
will be put on the stage this fall with Mr.. James
X Hackett in the title role. The publishers OF
! the story hint that it may be changed for the
purpose. To the question as to whether the
4 play Will end in the same way as the novel the
! reply is made that This seems very doubtful;
and, indeed, the tragic ending Of the novel does
not seem necessary"
