FINEST LOVE STONY.
Views of Different Writers on an ON
Sabiect.
What is the tinest love story ever writ-
ten If The man who recently raised this
interesting question in the columlis of
The London -Express gave as his choice
Charles Reade's "Cloister and the H art,"
a d challenged anybody to name a finer
tale of the tender passion. So many
readers hastened to take up the challenge
that a small avalanche of letters descended
upon the new -paper's editor. and those
that have been printed from day to day
reveal a striking divirgence of opinion.
American authors come ori well in this
l
symposium, James Lane Allen's "Choir
Invisible." Gene Stratton Porter's
"Freckles." and several of Marion Craw•
ford s novels being mentioned by contribu-
tors to the jrxrespondence as their
favor-
ite love story. So good a judge as E. V.
Lucas. for example, writes: "I have
found very great satisfaction in the
novels of Marion Crawford. of which I 'D
remember most vividly r. Claudius
and 'A Roman Singer."'
Among the other works selected by
readers as their favorite love story are
Thackeray's "Esmond." Meredith's 'Or-
deal of Richard Feveral" (chosen by
Archibald Marshall!. Blackm ire's "Loma
Doone." Haggard's "Mtontezuma's
Daughter." Farnol's "Broad Highway."
and Mason's "Clementina." The magnetcorrespondent. however, would seem to
be to some extent justified of his choice.
