Two Visitors
Lady Duffus Hardy and Miss Hardy,
proposed coming to the United Statss
with the purpose of spending the win-
ter in this country, These women are
both novelists; Lady Hardy has writen
a number of romances, and has now in
press a three-volumed novel entitled
“In Sight of Land,” while Miss Iza
novel called * Hearts or Diamonds,”
and has also written a book descriptive
of a previous visit to this country, which
she dedicated to her “American
friends.”
A correspondent writes: “At Lady
Hardy's reception one meets more Ame
ericans than at almost any other social
gathering of literature and art. Here
one sees A. Mary J. Robinson, a pale,
medium blonde of about twenty five,
London correspondent of the Boston
Literary World, author of the novel
‘Aden,’ and of a volume of poems re-
lating to the rustic low life of England
which attracted uel criticism and
created much controversy because of
the glowing colors in which that lite
wis painted; Philip Bourke Marston,
the blind poet, a frequent contributor
to American periodicals; Miss Gordon
Cumming, so well known in English
and American magazines, and alsoa
writer of many books of travel; Mrs,
Louise Chandler Monlton, dressed in
that perfection of taste which is so well
knowu in literary and artistis circles
of Boston and New York.”
