people had blossomed into real art.
There was now an American
style, possessing Unborn grace, and
forcibly reminding one of the very
best that had been produced by the
greatest masters of literature. AS
long as the world stands, much that
Irving wrote will remain among the
finest things to be found in any lit
erature,
The Old World was no longer to
laugh at the "crudities" of Ameri-
can writings. Washington Irving
had won for his country full recog-
milton in the great republic of let
ters He had done for American
literature what his illustrious
namesake had done for American
politics-given it name among the
nations of the earth.
When. in 1892 after an absence
of seventeen years, Irving returned
to his native land, he was received
with open arms and a cordiality of
affection that has seldom been ex-
tended to any man.
"Sunnyside," the delightful re-
treat on the Hudson, became a sec
ond Mount Vernon. and its genial
master a second Washington. for
everybody realized that Irving's
pen had done for us in the realm
of literature as much as Washing
tons sword had achieved in the line
of political emancipation.
1t is encouraging to know that
Irving's memory is still lovingly
cherished by his countrymen; for
no permanent evil can ever over
take us so long as we venerate the
ideals that cluster about such
shrines as Mount Vernon and sun
nyside.

XN7AsIH5INGToN IRWIN c.
. w There is still sunshine and
good cheer in the sound Of
the name, notwithstanding the fact
that it was SO years ago that the
one to whom it belonged passed out
from these earthly scenes.
When Washington Irving died a
beautiful life and beautiful work
came to a close, and yet. after more
than half a century, the benediction
of that life and the glory Of that
work remain among the nations
most precious and valuable assets.
Born in New York city in 1888,
Irving, when about -, was called
to the bar. but he was never cut out
for a lawyer, and, fortunately for
the world, he soon left the sages to
follow his chosen and beloved pro-
fession of literature.
After producing those inimitable
pictures of the old Dutch life, the
History of New York" and the
Knickerbockers," Irving went to
England, where. encouraged by the
great-souled Sir Walter Scott and
other literary lights of the old
Motherland, he soon made himself
famous on both sides of the water.
In the immortal sketch Book
he made the whole reading world
laugh and cry by turns, and in 9TH
er writings he demonstrated the
fact that, at last, America had
produced a real literary man, a
writer of whom any country could
we'll afford to be proud, a man in
whose work the creative vigor that
had long been breathing and burn
ing in the hearts and minds Of his
