To the sound ou he prefixes an e (hard to exemplify otherwise than orally). . . . 6. Au in such words as daughter and slaughter, he pronounces ah. 7. To the dish thus seasoned add a drawl ad libitum. The New England dialect may perhaps best be studied in such later writers as Rose Terry Cooke, See Book III, Chap. VI. Sarah Orne Jewett, Ibid. and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. Ibid. What is known as the Southern dialect may be formulated also in seven general rules: 1. Like does duty for as if in such sentences as He looks like he was sick. This construction, says Lowell, is never found in New England. 2. 'Low (allow), meaning think and say, though never heard in New England (Lowell), is very common among white and black illiterates, as it is in the pages of Bret Harte.

rials of life itself. One cannot forget them. A transition from another source is to be found in the stories of Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), who also stands on the border line between the real and the romantic. She was affected not at all by real that it may be reckoned with as one of the characters in the story. Rose Terry Cooke had written of New England; Miss Jewett wrote of Deephaven, which was Berwick, Maine, her native town. Mrs. Stowe and Mrs. Cooke wrote of the New England flood tide; Miss Jewett wrote of the ebb, not despairingly like Miss Wilkins and the depressed realists, but reverently and gently. Over all her work is the hint of a glory departed, that Irving-like atmosphere which is the soul of romance. She deligree phases: first, the Irvingesque school that romanticized its material and threw over it a softened light,—Harte, Miss Jewett, Cable, Page; second, the exhibitors of strange material objectively presented,—Charles Egbert Craddock, Octave Thanet, a

Some of these were written for St. Nicholas, in which Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge was nearly equalling her achievement. The two books which next to Miss Alcott's have the most assured position are Mrs. Dodge's Hans Brinker (1865) and Donald and Dorothy (1883). The former still remains the best story about Holland, and was awarded a prize by the French Academy; the latter runs it close for naturalness and interest. A little later these artistic successes were matched by Betty Leicester of Sarah Orne Jewett, See also Book III, Chap. VI. whose work for young people has the charm and distinction of her short stories for adults. St. Nicholas became in itself a library of choice literature for children, and many of the books which this chapter mentions appeared there. It encouraged writers for younger children also, and there were now some magazines devoted to them alone. For them Rebecca Clarke (1833-1906) had already written much, under the name of Sophie May.
