' "TO describe men and women 'as they are, for the delectation of men and Wo- men as they are," says- Mr. Austin, "may possibly be the proper business, and apparently is at present the chief task- of the -novelist. But assuredly," he continues, "that is not the tunetion of ;the -Poet, who, if he glances from heaven to earth, glances likewise front earth to heaven.

But for the. poet it is an instruction ,and a Watchword." ' After, paying a high tribute to the feminine temperament, the POet Lour- eate. qualifies his admiration. with the ?ollowing remarks upon woman's liter- ary taste: ' "The lady," he observes, "who said the other -day that she was -not: much. in- terested in politics, but that • she. was greatly. interested' in politiCians, utter-, ed'a Suggestive truth, not only regard- ing- herself but likewise rega.rding . the majority- ef her sex.
