LITERARY WORKS OF JOHN HAY
TO BE PUBLISHED BY his DAUGHTER

The country approves OF John Hays
selection OF his literary executor. The
work OF preparing the former states
mans papers for publication was be-
queathed by him TO his daughter, Mrs.
Payne Whitney, who was Miss Helen
Hay. She has inherited much of the
high literary talent of her father and
has been a frequent contributor to the
leading periodicals of both prose and
verse. 1t will be her pleasant duty to
prepare for publication the many un-
printed manuscripts from Mr.. Hays
facile pen.
Mrs. Whitney's first published vol
ume of her own was a collection of
poems which appeared I'm 1898. Quite
lately, and principally through the in
fiuence OF her children, she has col
lected a series OF charming stories for
little folks. Many OF these have at
tracted critical attention through their
easily recognized smack of childhood's
hours As a possible explanation of
how she was able to portray things so
genuinely from the childish standpoint
she has said that she has endeavored
always when writing them to bark
back to the scenes of her own child
hood, and to assist her recollection and
imagination she has thrown herself ON
the floor with pencil and tablet, getting
as near actually as possible TO the
youngsters point of view.
At the National Capital Miss Hays
true worth made her a great favorite,
and both there and I'm London her
learning, wide reading and ready sym
patty with her father made her OF
great assistance to him in his work.
Her husband. Mr.. Payne Whitney, was

Are the Catalogue Houses
Advantageous

While the mail order houses can do
large business In every section
where they can get in touch with the
customers. II is, however, a much dis

sell cheaper than local merchants. and
II orders are combined and wisely
placed they usually do enough 50

things must be ordered from cata-
logues: there Is always more or less
