The story Of the origin Of Mrs. Lippen-

the reputation of very promising lyrical
writer. but being extremely douDtIul oi
her ability to write forceful prose. she de-
termined to adopt nom de plume. her
mother suggested the name of Grace niger

as the original lived and was known 70
have married into an illustrious family OF
France. Her mother chung to the name OF
Grace however and after some thought
said:
"You are always out in the woods on
your horse. Why not call yourself Grace
GreenwoodY" And so it was decided.
1t was not until a year later that she
adopted 1t, for before her first prose work
appeared Fanny Forester burst into
fame. and for short time swept all DeIore
her Miss Clark, although modest in her
estimate of her own work. yet priced her
own originality and would not seem to
have been influenced by another. even IN
the choice Of her pen name.
OF her experience as a writer Mrs. LIP
pencott said recently:

accompanies an initiation into authorship.

Barley set aside the verdict of the jury in
the case of James A. wigfeld against Car

action to recover the amount he was COM
