1t is likely that the identity of

ill be revealed about Christmas. Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Fcnnelosa are credit
ed with the authorship by many people
in Boston. but the guess is declared to

should be made of the authorship of
Truth Dexter is one of those things
no fellow can find out. An entertain
ing essay might be written on The
Absur1ities of Pseudonymity." In
most instances the pseudonym is
mask of authOrial vanity and Sclf-Con-
seriousness. Occasionally q writer
whose fame has been made in one field
may venture into another and wish to
put forth his new work without pre-
judce, as when Mark Twain published
his romance on Joan of Arc
anonymously. Hugh StOwcll Scott
made no conccalmcnt of his identity
when he adopted the pcn-namc of

pose was to avoid inviting invidious
Compar iSon between the novels Of two

in William Sharp is the most singular
incident in the records of pSeudOny-

sonality was a pedestrian journalist;
the feminine share was endowed with
imaginative genius working in prose
and poetry.
