Scotchman, formerly of Granttown
Scotland, but now a member of the
New York brokerage firm of Leayitt
& Grant.
He was older than Mr.. Mumford and
broader in his views. They met at
the house of mutual friends-the rich
broker and the beautiful young au-
thoress. He was immensely taken
with her literary work and never
wearied of praising it to his friends
SO different from Mr.. Mumford, whom
it bored quite thoroughly.
Mr.. Grant frankly told his friends
he believed there were plenty of clever
women who could follow their talents
and at the same time be good wives
and mothers. He held that there
could be no incompatibility between
the art of a woman and the helpful
comeraderie of the home.
Finally the time came when he felt
that he could say this same thing to
Mrs. Mumford. He did. His answer
was a whispered Yes" just as the
young college man, Mumford, had re-
ceived it IL years before. But this
time it was more qualified one.

Mrs. Mumford said Not" She in
sisted that she could be a good wife
and a good mother, and still give rein
to her literary ambitions. Neither
side would yield. There were quar-

life, in 1899, Mrs. Mumford took heI

New York home. AS for her. she went
to California and acquired a legal resi-
