London, November 27.--(Special.)- )-One
of the most remarkable Of literary fam
lilies will be represented in the United
States for the first time this month, when
Wilfred Ward. the veteran English Cath
olic author and publicist-a famous son
of a famous father-crosses the Atlantic
to deliver a series of lectures in which he
will deal with 'There Great Cardinals
Wiseman, Manning and Vaughan and
Three Great Authors: Tennyson, Huxley
and Disraeli." All six of these men were
personally known to Mr. Ward whose
father, William, better known as Ideal
Ward the famous head of the Oxford
movement, was described by Tennyson as
the most generous of Ultramontanes,
and who Is himself an acknowledged
leader of religious thought in this coun-
try. Mr. Ward, whose visit is made under
the auspices of the American Catholic
Historical society, sailed for the United
States on November /, and will give his
first lecture at Philadelphia after which
he will be heard in New York, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and at Cornell university, as
we'll as In Boston. Baltimore and proba-
bly, other cities, the dates for which have
not yet been fixed.
Fifty-seven today, Wilfred Philip Ward
is fest. known, perhaps, for his book,
THE VIII to Believe" and for his bog-
raphS of his famous father, DR.. William
George Ward, and not only Is he an tu-
thor himself, the son of an author and
descendant of authors, but he is the
brother of one author and the brother-in-
law of another; and has famous author
ess for a wife, and has two promising
authoresses as daughters.
Mr.. Wards literary brother is Monseg-
neur Bernard Ward, who Is president of
st Xdmunds college, Hertfordshire, and
has written several historical works,
while his wife, Mrs. Wilfred Ward, who
can claim kinship with Sir Walter Scott,
is the author of that now famous novel,
"One Poor Scruple' as well as of six
other romances, the latest of which,
Horace Blake" promises to eclipse even
One Poor Scruple" in popularity. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Wards daughters, more
over. have inherited the literary tradl-
tions. the former, Miss Maisie Ward,
having written life of St. Bernardine
of Slena and the younger Miss Tetta
Ward who is only 81, having just fin
fshed a book-her first-of fairy tales for
children, which is said to be uncommonly
clever and which is to be published short
ly. Yet another of this family is Mrs.
Wilfred Wards half sister, Mrs. Maxwell
Scott who is a graf granddaughter Of
Sir Walter Scott and the author of "The
Tragedy of Fotherngay" and other
books
Wilfrid Wards Books Serious
Until a few months ago all the writings
of Wilfred Ward himself had been of the
most serious kind. Like his father, a fer
vent Roman Catholic, he made a great
name for himself at 2S, with THE Wish

His second wife was Lady Victoria
