NOTED SHORT STORY WRITER

Sarah Orne Jewstt's Explanation Of
How She Became an Author.
Sarah Orne Jewett, who recently
died at her summer home in South
Berwick, Me-, was known for forty
years as a writer Of brilliant short
stories of New England country life
She was pioneer in the field. It was
she who made story lovers feel at
home in the stiff New England par
lors and the prim village streets trod-
den by the descendants Of the Puri-
tans.
Indeed, this clew not merely to her
quality as writer, but her character
as a woman, is best expressed In her
own explanation of how she came to
write. when 1 was perhaps fifteen"
she said, 1.-THE first city boarders began
to make their appearance near Ber
wick, and the way they misconstrued
the country people and made game OF
their peculiarities fired me with indig-
nation. l determined to teach, the
world that country people were not the
awkward, ignorant set those persons
seemed to think. wanted the world
to know their grand, simple lives, and
so far as I had a mission when first
began to write I think that was It."
Miss Jewett was a woman of charm
ing personality. Although her early
education was obtained entirely in her
little country home town, it was under
the best auspices, for her people were
we'll descended and educated. TO this
early education and her own natural
gifts We're added the broadening in
fuences Of travel and association. Her
intimacy with Mrs. James T. Field at
IN early age opened to her the doors
of the most cultured society in Boston
and in Europe, and therefore she was
enabled to look upon the people of
whom she wrote from a dual point OF
view
The authors birthplace and home ia
a beautiful colonial house, built over
$50 years ago, in the old town of South
Berwick, Me. She was born in 1S40.
Her father, DR.. Theodore a. Jewett,
was a highly educated physician and
q professor In the medical department
Of Bowdoin college. In "A Country
Doctor is found a glimpse Of their
happy companionship. Indeed, it was
under her wise fathers supervision
that she obtained most Of her educa.
ton. Much of her time was spent In
browsing in bis excellent library.
Miss Jewett's first story was &C.
cepted, by the Atlantic Monthly pure,
" on it's merits when she was twenty
years old. "Deephaven" was her first
success. Since then she had published
a long list Of books. She Travelled ex.
tensively in the United States and
abroad.
In personal appearance Miss Jewett
was tail and dignihed, With a wen
bred grace and courtesy of manner.
She had bright and plQuant facs
and q low, musical voice. In converse
tion she was bright and Interesting, -
