Much Interest h Shown in Former Home of Mrs, Ward (Kansas City Star) It was in 1893 that a leading New York newspaper declared: "If a vote of the English speaking

people were to be taken to decide the Identity of the greatest living woman, probably the verdict would be for Mrs. Humphrey Ward, who set the thinking world on fire with 'Robert Elsmere.' ' "Robert Elsmere" was Mrs. Ward's second serious novel. When she died recently she had written no less than twenty-five books after that first "best seller," some of which, "The History of David Grieve" (18S2), "Lady Rose's Daughter" (1903), "The Marriage of William Ashe" (1905) and "The Mating of Lydia" (1913) were widely read in America. Her last books were "England's Effort" (1916), "Missing" (1917), "The War and Elizabeth" (1918) and "Fields of Victory" (1919). Naturally, through the years there has been more than ordinary interest in this brilliant Englishwoman and her life, , Mrs. Ward was born in Hobart, Tasmania, June 11, 1851, the daughter of Thomas Arnold, editor and author, granddaughter of the famous Dr. Arnold of Rugby and niece of Matthew Arnold, and was therefore, brought up in a rare atmosphere of culture. Humphrey Ward, to whom she was married in 1872, is perhaps the best known for his edition of "The English Poets" and as the writer of the brilliant art criticisms in the London Times. One of the most beautiful old estates in England, "Stocks," was Mrs. Ward's home. It lies on the border

line between Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, and although within

easy distance from London, is sit.uat

ed amid some of tne finest country

scenery in all England. The keen delight which Mrs. Ward took in nature

is shown in all her books, but perhaps

most notably in "Fenwick's Career,"

in which her descriptions of the beau tiful Westmoreland scenery are col

ored with an artist's appreciation. There is much in "Stocks" and the neighborhood to interest one who is a student of British literature and history. The estate is one of the oldest in England so old. In fact, that it is mentioned in the Domesday book. The house was once the residence of the seventeenth century poet Waller, and in the garden stands a huge tree in which in hewn a rough niche still called the "Poet's Seat." Sir Walter Scott used to be a frequent visitor at the mansion, and is said to have taken his title of "Ivanhoe" fwom the neighboring village of Ivanhoe. Aldbury village, which adjoins "Stocks," Is a quaint old world place, with a village green which still contains a whipping post and wooden stocks, and a pond where, until only a few years ago, it was the custom to duck village scolds and petty offenders. There Is also a church filled with qnaint memorials of the old county families.

Lonely Giants of the Forest. Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are found scattered throughout forests and hidden in dense undergrowths.

To Stay in Business for 55 Years Means continued confidence and patronage from satisfied customers. Prices have been in the confectionery business since 1865, giving to the people of this community quality and service at" an honest price.
