Miss Jewett will find in hers an element of higher breeding and more refined living. Her people will be more influethe good looks of the English people because of Du Maurier's pictures in Punch. The latest New England story-teller, Miss Alice Brown, is in a fair way to rank as the best of the three, because the widest, mellowest, and most genial. Her tales smacrwards to the lady herself, I was assured that she had never been near the place, and had scarcely even heard of it. Miss Alice Brown, writing her delightful sketch called Heart's-ease, describes Miss Lucinda, who, after a lifetime of bondage to her nges immediately into the wild delights, before prohibited, of riding on horseback and wearing flowers in her bonnet. Miss Brown, after writing this, heard for the first time of another maiden lady-also the daughter of a very repressive judge — who

Within their limited field A New England Nun and Main-Travelled Roads may not be surpassed.

beth Stuart Phelps, women with nerves; and finally the three artists who have written, out of the material offered by a decadent New England, as perfect short stories as France or Russia can produce-Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Freeman, and Alice Brown. These gifted writers portrayed, with varying technique and with singular differences in their instinctive choice of material, the dominant qualities of an isolated, in-bred race, still proud in its decline; still inquisitive and acquisitive,ere trader, a crank, a grim recluse; at best. endowed with an austere physical and moral beauty. Miss Jewett preferred to touch graciously the sunnier slopes of this provincial temperament, to linger in its ancient dignities and serenities. Miss Brown has shown the pathos of its thwarted desires, its hunger for a beauty and a happiness denied. Mary Wilkins Freeman revealed its fundamental tragedies of will. Two of the best known writers of New England fiction in this period were not nati

ality, and conviction did not rise above picturesqueness. But in The great divide Moody caught the permanent passions of real people. This also may be said of Alice Brown's Children of earth (12 January, 1915), which won a $10,000 prize offered by Winthrop Ames in the hope that competition would bring forth the American masterpieces which popular belief imagined were hid under a bushel by the ruthless hand of the managers of commerce. Miss Brown committed extravagances in her desire to reflect the New England life she knows so well—an atmosphere which relates her to the school of fiction ably represented by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, and—of the author's learning of the Southern problem from books read at Harvard University. It has none of the innate sincerity of Moody's The great divide or Alice Brown's Children of earth, written out of inherited feeling for spiritual yearnings and ancestral prejudices.
