A series of week- iy sports on certain evenings dur- ing the summer is another possible attraction.

Futslttl H: Wed ‘Phomatn Hardy was eighty-one years old last week, and the puh- licstion of a new limited edition of his works. Slneeit is described as a definitive edition. one must as- sume that Hardy is ready now to call it a day. At no time has he been a prolific writer. in which rea- pect he is far inferior to Humid Bell Wright, Sir Gibert Parker and Laura Jean Libby. At the most he wrote not more than one novel a year. Over the "mussel" he toil. ed for a decode. We have 110 tid-V inga of Hardy contemplating‘ ano- ther novel. and it may be taken for certain that "Jude the Obscure" was his last, and that if anything more from his pen is published it will be a verse or two. It is incon- ceivable that anything more he might write would add to his fame, but it seemed equally inconceiv- 111110 that after he had written “Jude his name could have been onhan. ced. Yet some of the best critics, among them John balsworthy, if memory serves. has offered the op- inion tiiat ‘Hardy is the greatest of living peots, and the publication of his verses followed that of his no- veis. “

Hardy As Poet. I

Hsrdy has said in the preface to his collected works that his first ventures in literature were metri- cal, anti that he began writing poet- ry fifty years ago. There are thou- sands of personsvko have deligh- ted in his novels who have never read one of his verses, and perhaps have been convinced from the read- ing 0f his novels that the gift of poetry was one 0f the gifts denied him. As evidence to the contrary, volume of his works in which one - we give the last poem in the last ‘may sppose that dfagdy becomes more personal than is his wont. it is called ‘Afterwards’ und is as f0llt-ws:-

To his most famous novelshe gave the subtitle “A Pure- Woman," and though Tees committed a murder and was hanged, we doubt if any- body would dispute the fact- thui. she' was n pure woman, and a ‘great woman. Jude, too, was as noble a character as Christian, in the “Pilgrim's Progress." -but he lived s, life of wretchedness, not because of his own failings, lint he- eauss of his own goodness. Hardy's outlook on life is 1'1 sad one, des-

ed the greatest peasants since Ellakespeare. as 0110' critic has said. This knowledge, which all his readers have derived from his works, has spread the impression that Hardy himself is a most un- sociable .and aloof mortal. The contrary is the truth. lie shuns the curious, but those who have been admitted t0 his companion- ship testify that he is most‘ amus- ng in conversation, most sympath- etic at heart.
