ROBERT FROST. At the meeting Tuesday
evening of the Reading Department of the
Womans Club Mrs, Arthur E. Wilson read an
entertaining paper on Robert Frost, new
poet. The work of this new American genius
fulfls the prophecy of Stedman made about
20 years ago. He is original and practical in
the extreme and courageous enough to dis
card the style standards of ages and enter
upon style all his own. Mr.. Frost is still q
young man in the work, as years of age and a
resident of Franconia, N. H. He is married
and has three children. He studied at ar
ward, but did not graduate, and later went tc
England where some of his first books were
issued, including one of his best, "a Bows
Will" His special theme is | ife in the coun.
try. Mrs Wilson read his "Birches," her ia.
vorite, and one of his best productions. She
also read Intending Wa lls,". and from his emo.
tional poetry "The Home Burial and" 1.-THE
Self Seeker" Selections from "a Boys VIII
