LECTURE ON MEREDITH.
Miss Woods, of London, Describes
Famous Poets Work.

Before a large audience Of persons in
terested in literature and in ethical (cul-
ture. Miss Alice Woods, of London. Eng
land, delivered an interesting lecture upon
George Meredith's poetry on Saturday
afternoon, at the residence Of Miss Goode
In X street.
Abiding to the popularity of George
Meredith on this side OF the water. the
lecturer suggested that possibly the ap-
probation OF his work by America is due
to the fact that Americans realize how
closely his message OF strength and serv-
ice comes home to them as citizens Of a
young and virile nation.
Miss Woods said: "SOTIre- of Meredith's
poems are provokingly condensed. very
elaborate, and hard to understand, but
they are full Of reward. nevertheless, for
those who take the trouble to read and
re-read them. They become a precious
possession for those who have ears TO
hear"
At the close Of the lecture Miss Woods
was the recipient of many congratula-
tons Miss Woods IS president of a
woman's college in London. and well
known there as a writer upon educational
and literary subjects.
