Show A Clever Literary Woman . It is but fair, when counting up the successful women writers of today, to reckon tho author of "The Angloma-, Angloma-, uiacs" in the southern contingency. Mrs. Burton Harrison, although for years a resident of New York city, is essentially es-sentially a Virginian. She is a direct descendant of the Thomas Jefferson family, and has several brilliant professor profes-sor cousins now occupying chairs in the Washington, Leo and the University of Virginia. In girlhood she was known as "Lovely Connie Cary," with as much wit and good looks and charm enough of manner to have endowed a whole country side of holies. Sirs. Harrison has been uniformly successful suc-cessful in her literary efforts, but it remained re-mained for this last and unsigned story to bring her supreme success. Her name now ranks among tho first feminine writ- era of the day, and much brilliant work from her pen is anticipated. As with all clover women, Mrs. Harrison has Iw pet fad. This fancy tak?s tho very satisfactory satisfac-tory form of collecting rare old silver. Having an unusually tine assortment of heirlooms, sbo has amassed, piece by piece, many priceless specimens of antique an-tique cups, jugs and urns, with odds and ends iu the same precious metal picked tip in this country and abroad.
