Women Novels of Protest.

HIOMEN novelists of the 1S90s
w were fairly well represented
IN England by such dissimilar
writer's as Sarah Grand, whose
Heavenly Twins" proved a best
seller; Mrs. Oliphant, who wrote
popular innocuous tales; Mrs.
Humphry Ward, whose best work
appeared before the new century
began, and Charlotte Yonge, the per
petrator of "The Daisy Chain" and
other discursive stories. In these
the modern touch was conferred by
allowing the most courageous of the
woman characters to ride bicycles
in knickerbockers. Yet even in
these conservative novels the char
acteristics animating the woman
movement" were perceptible. Mr..
Hugh Walpole, discussing the pc
riod, observes that equality of the
sexes made a novel sell like hot
cakes" Both as principle and as a
purpose it loomed large in popular
fiction of the period-no less in
America than in England, where
such novelists as Margaret Deland,
Beatrice Harraden and Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps Ward may be said to
have given it impetus. There was
an undercurrent of self-assertion,
an attempt to tear away reactionary
tradition. Taken as a whole, novels
of women in the 90s form a Itera-
ture of protest.-From the Neso
York Sun.

ments they have the few which
they can rely on from which to
write a trustworthy history of the
war. This delicate and difficult
work has already been tried witk
much success by Victor Giraud in
his "Histoire de la Grande Guerre."
1t is still methodically and scrupu-
lously pursued in every part of the
monumental "Histoire de laGuerre,"
prepared by the most prominent
historians under the direction OF
Nj. Hanotaux. The great care Of
each and all of these writers is to
achieve a true and scientific history
in opposition to the well known and
skeptical definition of Anatole
France: History is not science.
IL is an art. One succeeds there
only by using his imagination.
From the North American Revieto.
Maupassant's Love Sentiment
TENDER, delicate, too. and sweet
l. is the love sentiment of the
writer of Fort CONNIE la Mort and
Notre CGur; it is natural also in
that it is not perverted or perverse;
but tenderness, delicacy and natu-
ralness do not alter its essentially
sensual character. 1t is love, that
sweet thing, the most sweet that
life can offer, the flower of youth;
il is also youth itself with is illu-
sion perpetually renewed; but in this
sweetness it consumes itself away
entirely; il produces nothing, is no
wise transformed or glorified- He
who loves places the center of his
existence, the true reason of his
being, in his love which is pleasure,
a pleasure which has no equal; so
Overwhelming is the force OF pleas
ure, the pleasure of love, that it
imposes itself on the soul as an alb
solute necessity. replaces : other
ideal interest and all other source
OF comfort and JOY. evades al, moral

IT is amusing to know that W. S.

honorable mention in a once ia

specimens in a letter seem to reflect
upon the critical ability of the
judges.

Who had bad pain in his middle,
But a gentle emetic

His absolute mastery of rime was
better shown in another limerick

some rash guest instanced Decima
as a difficult name with which to
deal.
There was a young lady. Miss
