[By NARY WASHINGTON


Miss Ellen Glasgow is a native OF Rich
niond, Va. and descendant Of long
line Of distinguished Virginians. One of
her forefathers was a colonial president
Of William and Mary College, and another
was Christopher de Graffenried. son OF
Baron de Graffenried. who came near
losing his life in the colony Of North
Carolina. and who was resident OF Wll-
lismshurg.
Amongst Miss Cilasgow's ancestors were
also some of the noted lawyers of old
Virginia, and the credit of her mental
gifts Is doubtless partly due TO them.
The talent for putting yourself In some
one elses place Is the basis OF tlne ncting,
fiction or legal pleading. essentially the
same, no matter In what varied forms
ii may manifest itself. and Miss Glasgow
shows this talent markedly In fiction, and
also the ability to see both sides OF
question. which is supposed to be the
proper attitude of the judicial mind
Being a delicate child Miss Glasgow was
not able to spend much time at school,
but made UP for this defect by having the
run of a good library. She produced her
first novel THE Descendant before she
was twenty-three. and people We're aston
