from a Quaker school for girls in
POughkeepsie. Their marriage, which oc-
CURED soon after, was the beginning OF
one of the happlest companionships ever
enjoyed by any man of letters.
1t was when George Eliot was sixty
one, and only few months before her
death, that she was married. And no
event IN her unconventional though
strangely uneventful life ever gave her
friends more cause for surprise than this.
1t will be recalled that when this great
English novelist Mary Ann Evans, as
she was known in private life, was
thirty-five years old. she entered into
connection with George Lewes, a con-
nection which. so far as fidelity and
tenderness of attachment went, was no
less sacred than marriage. That her
friends failed to look upon the subject
of marriage in the same light that she
did, and that this connection with Mr..
Lewes brought upon her social ostracism
to certain extent, was a great disap-
pointment. And she once wrote to a
friend that she didn't see how any un-
worldly, interpretations person" could
regard the union as anything but moral.
After the death OF Mr.. Lewes, and
after her friends had come to excuse
her unconventional life as simply a part
of her eccentricity, the great novelist
must have had a change of conviction
on the subject. She had been introduced
to Mr.. John Walter Cross some years
before by no less a parsonage than Her
bert Spencer. Their acquaintance had
ripened into warm friendship and intel
lectual companionship. 1t was Mir.
Crosss intention to write a biography OF
this brilliant woman whose warm friend
he had become. But that she would so
far change her convictions at the ma
marry was something that no one
dreamed Of. Perhaps the fact that she
did was a silent acknowledgment to the
world that her disregard for the con-
ventions had really been mistake. I'M
mediately after their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs Cross made tour of the continent.
Returning to London they settled in Mr.
Cross's town house. but in the summer
Of the same year the great woman died
at exactly the same age as Mr.. Lewes
II was an indication of Mr. Cross's sin
gular generosity and breadth of mind
that he permitted his wife to be buried
at the side of this man who had been
her companion for many years. And in
the Life" which he compiled of her
soon after he touched upon this former
companionship with the utmost sympathy
and delicacy of feeling. Perhaps no
woman OF letters has ever enjoyed the
devoted companionship of two more ad-
mirable men than did George Eliot; and
yet, as every one knows, she was singu-
larly lacking in any of the charms or
graces that make for feminine attactive-
ness.
