The President has given to the

writer's Of America and England
are coming SO rapidly and sol
prominently to the fore. Few
indeed, are the English writing
novelists of today, to whom pos
terity is likely to accord a higher
place than to Mrs. Humphrey
Ward. Her lengthening row of
masterly books would appear to
be an unmistakable guarantee
that she has not written for her
generation only. In this coun-
try, we may, as her latest work
iddubitably shows, point with
confidence to the still youthful
Edith Wharton, who sharing
largely Mrs. Wards deep under
standing of human nature and
subtle analytical skill, has also
the added grace of delicate and
keenly satirical humor. And it
is no merely local pride that

not far behind these two may al
