LADY ROSE DAUGHTER. X.
II Reply from Mrs. Humph'y Ward
to THE I11bune's Criticism.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l am delighted to find from stray news
paper paragraph which has reached me that
some of your literary readers have discovered
the relation between my new story, Lazy
Roses Daughter" and THE Life and Letters
of Mile de Lespinasse." 1 have, of course MADE
it sufficiently plain, both by calling my heroine
Julie and by several references and passages
in the book itself. which will have appealed at
once to those acquainted with that treasure
house of human psychology, the world of French
memoirs Some years ago, when reading the
French letters of Mile. de Lespnasse, l was
struck with the dramatic possibilities OF the
situation between her and Mime. du Deffand.
Certain figures and incidents of modern English
life rushed into my mind at the same time. and
a modern Julie seemed to stand and move before
me- Alack, it not possible for me to fol-
low the sad, and fear, shameful, story of the
old Julie very far; not for me- at any rate, who
prefer to believe in and paint the kindler issues
ana possibilities oil human fate. Otherwise, like
the master of us all. George Meredith, in
famous book might have tried to reclothe and
revitalize the whole story; and If your readers
had been able to trace my sources throughout
supposing they had cared enough about the
tale to do so-that, submit, should only have
been an additional pleasure to them, and
discredit to me- Yours faithfully.
MARY A. WARD.
London, Grosvenor Place. s. w, Feb %, 1903.
1--WE are glad to print Mrs. Wards letter just
received by cable. and fully appreciate the can
did admission it contains of her Indebtedness to
the history of Mile. de Lespinasse in writing
Lady Roses Daughter" an indebtedness which
was pointed out in detail in our literary columns
on January 25. We trust however, that she
and her publishers will see the necessity for
giving with the novel, when it appears in book
form, some acknowledgment to the famous
Frenchwoman more explicit than that indicated
above. We cannot agree with Mrs. Ward that
by calling her heroine Julie. and by the refer
ences and passages, to which she alludes. she
has made her debt to Mile de Lespinasse 'suf-
ficiently plain" The debt is too great, top COM
prehensve, to be disposed of in this summary
fashion; and predatory note, containing the
fullest explanation of the source of her plot and
characters, is the least which Mrs. Ward read
ers have a right to denland.-Ed

CATsKILL MOUNTAIN HONEY.
Many a Rose Is Born to Blush Unseen, but
Not This One.
[BY TELE5RA TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Kingston n. 7. Feb. 25.-1n that romantic and
beautiful region OF the Ulster County Catskills
known as Woodland Valley, where few summer
visitors ever reach, duells a charming maiden of
seventeen summers whose personal attractions are
as rare and manifold those which are SO freely
spread by nature the green slopes that environ
her humble abode Many mountain youth has
sought to gain her favor and two men of
riper years proudly shown on her list of suitors
And yet she declares. with much sangfroid, that
the prize is still open for the successful wooer-
Her father isn't rich. is there any fortune of
gold dollars and cents anywhere in sight; just the
girl herself with that mystic halo of attractive
ness that no fellow explain even to him
self Love letters have reached her in great plies
from various sections. Soon after the close of last
wear she sorted over these packages in pink and
blue ribbons, and packed trunk full of the con-
certrated sweetness for which she had no furtner
Sc. Then when the junkman came. she sold the
lot for 81 cents Learning of the extravasant
nature and contents of his purchase this man says
he boiled down the whole thing carefully and sold
the product as strained CatskiH Mountain honey at
a good profit.

PARK COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Interesting Pamphlet Showing the

Interesting Pamphlet Showing the
 Work Accomplished in 1902.
 The fourteenth annual report of the commissioners of public parks for 1902, just issued, contains an abundance of interesting information for those who take an interest in the growth and care of the beautiful breathing spots with which New Haven ahounds. Be- sides the work and Improvement ef- fected in the parks at the city's ex- pense mention is made of the donation of Mrs. Henry Farnham of several hundred dollars expended in the build ing of a rustic retaining wall for the protection of the Farnham drive on East Rock, also of the needed improve ment secured through the generosity of Frederick D. Grave in defraying the cost of erecting around Judges Cave, a handsome and substantial iron fence. The pamphlet is illustrated with ex- cellent photo -engravings of several beautiful views of portions of the parks.
 The report of Superintendent Amrhyn discloses the fact that a great deal of fundamental work in park develop ment was done during the year, in fact quite as much as could have been expected to be done from the compara- lively meagre resources which amounted in all to $17.73S.2S for the year, and when it is remembered that the park system of New Haven in- cludes ten separate pleasure grounds, with combined area of over 300 acres.
