English Girl Literary Lion of New York.
A slender English girl, pretty and
uffy-haired, a girl of twenty three
efour, who apparently belongs to a
garden party at charming manor
house of Old England, is just now the
literary lion of the hour in. the East.
She Is F. Tennyson JESSE great-nieee
of the poet Tennyson, granddaughter
of the sister of Tennyson, to whom
Arthur Hallam, of in Memoriam."
was once engaged.
But her relationship to the great
poet Is of less Importance than the
fact that this mere girl has already
made a place for herself in English
literature. AS the author of THE
Black Mask. that grim and primitive
play of coal miners and horror so
widely discussed last winter, she be-
came known as a writer whose stark
power was in amazing contrast with
her own charm. But now, with a new
novel, The Milky Way" a gay and
fantastic tale of light hearts and
lighter heels and springtime wander
ings in Provence, she appears in a
literary role more in keeping with her
own prettiness.
Miss Jesse has not finished her sur
prising contrasts, however. 1t proves
that she is decidedly a wanderer In
perilous places. After experiencing
all the thrills she could get out of
riding, motoring and awaiting in Eng
land, she started on a long trip of
exploration in the West Indies, at
the end of which she went to New
York.
She made careful study of the
Panama Canal, wandered through
Jamaica and Cuba. She was ship
wrecked in a Attention sloop on a
reef off the Windward Islands, after
nineteen hours in a storm which
threatened the lives of Miss Jesse and
the frightened negro crew She was
driven out of one town by the plague,
and out of another. in San Domingo,
by a revolution-which she stuck out
till the rebels began to she'll the
town.
While in Trinidad, Miss Jesse found
that old fox of South America, ex-
President Castro, whom she triumph
antly interviewed. Miss Jesse de-
clares that newell, failed to tell the
entire truth, for one steady hour, yet
never contradicted himself once.
This perilous trip is but one of the
surprises which Miss Jesse has shown
New York. She has declared that her
only interest in her own pleasant
novel, 1.-THE Milky Way" is in its
metaphysics. She has shown herself
most interested in politics and engi-
neering, and declared herself
suffragette- but opposed to militancy.
AS to what her next novel; sue
cessor to THE Milky Way" will pc,
Miss Jessie refuses to commit her
self.

here and there in those neighborhoods,
viii testify to the life-like truth of
the picture which Mr.. JanYier sue
ceeded in painting.
Strangely, too, the characters in
"At the Casa Napoleon" recall the
beautiful story of Emile Sonvestre,
the "Philosophe Sous les Toits,' or
the attic philosopher in Paris" The
same spirit of helpfulness among the
bourgeois characters of the French
writer is observed in those of the crea-
ton of Mr.. Janvier. Indeed, in places
like the Casa Napoleon there are al
ways to be found some of the most
self-sacrificing of mortals, those who,
If they find suffering at their elbows,
spring to relieve it, while in more
fashionable sections one might die of
grief or famine before a hand would
be raised to offer aid.
"At the Casa Napoleon" should be
read by the modern social science
worker, especially 1t will teach him
lessons in pure ahruism which his
chosen cult may never learn. 1t il
pity that more of the floeelists OF
the day have not the inclination and
the genius to write about kindly hui,
man nature as Mr.. Janvier did, rather
than to display their talents in de-
picting the same human nature at It's
worst.

AT the Casa Napoleon" the best,
perhaps, of the stories of Thomas A.
Janvier, his posthumous work. just
published by Harper & Brothers,
bears all the evidences of his ex-
qu.site style and his delicate delinea-
ton of character, especially of that
of the Latin races.
The readers of this book may be
interested to know, as the publishers
say, that the Casa Napoleon had a
real counterpart, though not in ex-
actly the location given in the book.
ut was not q house of phantasy,'
says friend who had also frequented
it, this cosmopolitan Casa Napoleon,
but very definite haven for wander
ers of Latin origin which for several
years opened hospitable doors upon
a side street near lower Fifth avenue.
To this house 1t was the custom of
MI Janvier to come, and it was dur
ing dinners which he planned with
supreme art that his close but kindly
observations garnered suggestions
which ripened under the sunshine of
his humorous fancy into the fruition
of his book"

gone by, the northern end of South

Associations, Narrowly Escaped

Destruction Recently.
The Ancient Monastery of st. Ber-
nard, the second highest inhabited
spot in Europe, narrowly escaped de-
struction recently when an avalanche
swept down the mountain side. De-
bris entered the second story of the
hospice, but the monks were unin-
jured.
The monastery stands in splendid
isolation at an altitude of 5000 feet
above sea LEVEL 1t was founded more
than 1000 years ago by the monk
St. Bernard de Mention to give sue
cor and shelter to all pilgrims on
their perilous journey over the
mountains to Rome. Since that time
its hospitality has been extended to
all travellers, rich and poor alike,
and without distinction of nationality
or faith.
The Great Pass, at the summit OF
which the hospice stands, was for
centuries the direct route between
France and Italy. 1t is rich in great
associations. Thousands of pilgrims
and caravans of mules, bringing oil
and wine and merchandise, have
Travelled over it. Monarchs and dig
nitaries of the church have traversed
it. Three of the mightiest armies OF
the world have crossed it. Hannibal
and his Carthagenian hosts marched
in barbaric pomp by this route to-
ward Rome. Caesar and his Roman
legations on their cOnquering way to
western Europe, and Napoleon with
his 10000 warriors, have crossed its
frowning nights.
AS BELTS the desolate and forbid
ding surroundings the hosp1ce is

in appearance, with narrow windows

built to resist the fierce snoWstorms
and raging winds which prevail dur
