The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-08-05

Mr.. James dictates all his work to a
secretary, and he rewrites and pol
ishes it from a typewriter copy. With
his writing he takes infinite pains. His
sentences are long and involved at
times; but in spite of this confusing
fact his verbs are OF the same number
as his nouns. That is to say, his sent
ences are balanced and complete.
His whole life shows the same Or
dered neatness as his books. His IL
brary is carefully selected and shelved
His letters are always arranged in
little piles Of the same size One man
tells that during a call on the novelist
he saw him, when the ash had collect
ed on the end of his cigarette, walk
the length of his study and snip it out
OF the open window
Henry James has been called a mo-
dern of the moderns as novelist. He
describes contemporary life. His
characters are people of the world !;
but they are subtle and complex. The
human element predominates.
He is not widely read, because the
public finds him hard to read. AS
someone said, His books need to be
translated LOT Cne average reader.
This is due in part to his use of long
and involved sentences, and in part
to his subject matter.
His career has been happy one
1t has been long, and has been free
from serious mistakes. His talent and
point of view are personal He has
had crowd of imitators; but none of
these has approached the master in
greatness.
There is one side of the character of
Henry James, the man, Of which few
people know. Never has a man in need
come to him whom he has not offered
to help. Years ago, when James was
deriving an income of less than $1,000
a year from his writing, a novelist died
in England. He died in poverty, leav-
ing two little children absolutely alone
in the world. A friend assisted the
children and wrote to other literary
men asking for help. One literary man
whose income was over 100000 was
appealed to in vain. Among those
from whom aid was asked was Henry
James. A check for $3.50, more than a
sixth of his whole years income, ar
rived from him by return mail.

and then, after spending a little time
IN Kentucky decided to enter the law
department of the University of Vir-

there in about half the time usually
required, and began practising in

1898.

girl to her sweetheart in Georgia

discovered that she loved him, after
all, and that if he would get a furlough
and come home she would amrry him:
that she had loved him ever since they
had gone to school together in the lit
tie school house in the woods. Then.
as II she feared such a temptation
might be too strong for him, she added
a postscript in these words: Don't

Harper's. He is at present the writer
OF this department.
Mr.. Howells has received MANY hon
orary degrees. Harvard and Yale have
both conferred on him the degree oof
Master OF Arts, while he has received
the degree of Doctor of Letters from
Yale, Oxford, Columbia, and Prince
ton, and the degree of Doctor of Laws
from Adelbert College. In 1909 he was
elected president Of the American Aca-
deny OF Arts and Letters. Since 1885
the novelist has lived in New York
City.
HoWells is great realist and a
perfect artist in words. He was once
asked II he never lost himself in his
work and was carried away by what
he was writing.
Never he answered. "The essence
OF achievement is to keep outside, to
be entirely dispassionate, as a sculp-
tor must be, molding his Gladly"
And indeed of all American writer's
HoWells comes the nearest to success
in holding the mirror up to Nature.

No. 2. WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS

The Dean of American Letters
that is what William Dean Howells is
called. He is and has been for half a
century the literary leader of Ameri-
ca. And well he deserves the title!
James Russell Lowell said of him that
he is one of the chief honors of our
literature" He has never written a
bad sentence, never struck a false
note. He is the leading representa-
tive of the realistic school Of Ameri-
can fiction.
William Dean Howells might with
truth be called a "self-made man Eof
letters" He was born at Martin
Ferry, Ohio, on March /, 1887. His
father, William Cooper Howells, was a
printer and editor, whose library was
large and we'll chosen for that time
1t was in this library that the future
novelist picked up most of his educa-
ton. AS usual in a small country
town, the regular schooling consisted
only of the three RS" but Howells
was an omnivorous reader. He parti-
cularly enjoyed poetry. 1t is said that
even as a small boy he wrote verse,
setting it into type himself. Whether
this was ever printed is not known;
but surely some space in his fathers

these productions of his juvenile pen.
In 1851 the family fortunes met with
disaster, and Howells went to work as
compositor on the Ohio State Journal
at a salary of four dollars week. He
soon graduated into journalism, and at
the age of twenty-five was news editor
of the Columbus Ohio, State Journal
Howells' first published work APP
peared in 1860 The Poems of Two
Friends" were written with John ].
Piatt. He began to contribute to the
Atlantic Monthly, then just founded,
about this time, also. A campaign bio
graphy of Abraham Lincoln was writ
ten by him in 1860. For this he was
appointed consul at Venice, where he
remained until 1865. There be studied

On his return to the United States
he wrote for the New York Tribune
and the Nation for a time Then in

and from him the novelist derived his
idiomatic, picturesque English. His
brother became Professor William
James, the psychologist and philoso-
pher, who died in 1910.
Henry James entered Harvard Law
School in 1860; but found out soon
that he cared more for literature than
for law. His first short story was
published in 1866, and many stories
and sketches quickly followed this.
Since 1869 he has made his home in

PRIVILEGES OF AMBASSADORS

London has just welcomed a new Ambassador from the United States d New York editor The honor has gone begging for some time. most of the Tefusals being due to the fact that while ambassadors have to entertain lavishly, America pays it's representa- tives too small salaries to support the dignity.
 Another reason is the American dis like for court ceremony. One distin- Euishcd senator to whom pr. Wilson offered the ambassadorship is said to have replied. T cant see myself in plush pants"
 Ambassadors have curious privileges. Most people know that they and their households are safe from arrest, an embassy being considered a geagroph- icaI part of the ambassadors own country. But there are many less we'll known. The ambassador is the only person about a court who has the right to turn his back on the sovereign at the end of an interview. And he always exercises it, turning to bow after walking three paces This, of course refers only to state occasions.
 This worked out rather funnily in Queen Victoria's time. To turn ones back on a. lady would be rude to re- tire backwards would be to resign a privilege-so the ambassadors always compromised by edging sideways to- ward the door like a crab
 Another privilege of ambassadors is the right of having both leaves of the folding-doors thrown open when being ushered into the royal presence. No one else can claim this privilege.
 Another highly prized privilege of the ambassador-one that sovereigns must often regret-is that of being able to demand an interview with the SOW ercign whenever he chOses. at any hour of the day or night.

When this water becomes soiled. change it for another. and so on un- til the garment is perfectly clean. Rinse thoroughly through several clear waters and press the superfIuous moisture from the sweater or jacket but do not wiring tightly. This has . tendency to stretch the garment out of shape. Hang the sweater or coat in the open air to dry or spread it on the grass, pinning it in shape Frequent turnings will help the pro- cess of drying, which should be ac- complished as quickly as possible.
 If the sweater appears to stretch a great deal in the washing, place it over a coat hanger and slip it into q pillow case to dry. Pin the case together at the top and this will pre- vent the wool. weighted with water, from stretching
 In winter. when it is an impossibiI- ity to hang the sweater out of doors, because of the danger of freezing, dry it in a not too warm oven or over the radiator If dried in an oven, place it in a pan lined with towel and turn every few minutes.
