 busy world; but literature as an art de- mands for its highest excellence the quiet life.'' he says. This is only another way of saying that it demands devotion and is jealous of any rival Whatever the na- tive genius of any writer, he cannot att tain supreme distinction in letters and at the same time conduct an important bus mess, perform the duties of an exacting profession, or seriously undertake diplo- macy or statesmanship. He cannot habit ually be a diner-out or the devotee of pleasure. All his contacts with the world at large must be incidental to his master purpose.
 "Even his seclusion must be thus incl dental not sought for it's own sake. as it is by the; recluse. As the ardent lover is the better poet, so the social person is 1 the more genial writer, and the full en- joyment of domestic happiness and friend ly!companionships deepens feeling and inn parts homelke warmth to an authors s appeal, More than any one else the great , writer gains by an impressionable sen- | sibility. by openness of heart and mind; but more than any one else he loses by active participation in worldly and social affairs beyond what is required of him I.by a normal conscience and generous spirit in full sympathy with his kind.'

An lAuthoress ,,Who Posed.


 Few authoresses have themselves. posed for the pictures that illustrate their own books. Such was the unique experience of Mrs. Lucy c. Lillie, author of Nan, Rolf House, and other girls books, who posed to George du Maurier for the illus trations of her own book, Prudence, A Story of Aesthetic London. Nor was this Mrs. Lilies only experiment of the kind. When Edwin A. Abbey made his charm ing illustrations for Herricks Poems for the Harpers. he asked Mrs. Lillie, then in the early prime of her beauty, to pose for him. She agreed, and the results were altogether successful.
 It Is denied that the local color of Bald win Sears's novel, '"The Circle in the Square," was obtained in Richmond, Va. The absolutely fresh and peculiarly strik- ing picture of Southern life given in this story has aroused much discussion. The author has been severely criticised by those who hold to the conventional and sentimental views presented in most nov els of the South but none of the critics have been able to ignore the power and interest of the story. It is amusing to note that while a few critics have de- clared that the author knows nothing of the South, the majority have said at once that the story could only have been writ ten by some one born and living in the South.
