V l to I WOMAN'S GIFTS i to TO MTKRATI RB hing i The appearance women as leading figures in the literary world is * 'n quite a recent thing. Not a single stu- book of the Bible is ascribed to a oth- woman. It is possible the Song of rec- Deborah and Barak, if it belongs to the that period may have been written nat- by the former. But this Is at least \ intil Greek literature there flourished no f'u- name of mark excepting that of 're8- Sappho, though doubtless she was by but one of a school of women lyrican cists. Roman literature has no woears men enrolled among the literary ar1 by tists of the Golden Age, and there ir'CR are no women found among great th? patristic writers. France and Italy our produced before the end of the Idea eighteenth century some women poets and romanticists of great powKn* er, but It Is the nineteenth and a,,y twentieth centuries that have seen ' ?' women tak* up the pen in the RrCat*'n* est numbers. It has been stated e<*~ that womon today are perhaps the Uto- most numerous contributors to the literature of romance and poetry, ues" and an author who adopts the pend R name of "Aurel." writipK In the ^ Censeur (Paris), the somewhat rad'm~ leal yet very attractive weekly conmu" ducted by Ernest Charles, sets out 'lnR answer the question why modern tion Women write so much and write so 1 to well. She attributes Jt to the fact K?ithnt modern life has released women from slavery and left their hearts free and fresh; that they are rom pneourafced to write because It 1s r'c" that their work has a certain femlbe" nlnity in It, distinct from the work to of the opposite sex. which renders It . tO 1 _ I 1. .. .1 ' ('oilkl'inai lu wuiucii auu av>ii*o to men.

And of the arts liton erature is almost the only one fawas miliar to'the modern woman. The be- pen is so light to lift! It Is indeed was women who are best adapted to om write the sentimental romance, as slg- it will be allowed by all who have ies. analyzed the feminine book, a work evil which, if it is genuine, by no means lere conforms to the standard of the masd I cullne production." : ln Yet some women have found that ne they can in some senses Imitate the 0re" style and method of men in literaiak" ture. and that, too, without loss to their own style.
