The Royal Society, in literature as well as in science, has become a stimulating influence in Canadian life.

Fiction.

q- n

In fiction, probably the outstand- ing figure of the period is Mrs. L. Adams Beck, of Victoria, who writes fascinating tales of the Orl- ent under her own name. and equally delightful historical stories under the pen-name of E. Barring- (ton. Frederick William Wallace has lwritten n. number of stories. long and short. of the deep sea fishermen of Nova Scotia and the glorious .daya of the "Bluenose" clipper ship. 'In the Prairie Provinces, a rather remarkable group of Scandinavian Canadian novelists has been doing (excellent work in the interpretation o! the life of their people in the ‘novel environment o! the Canadian west. The outstanding names in the group are Martha. Ostenao, Phil- op Grove and Laura Balveraon. 0f the cider novelists. Sti- Gilbert Par- ker, Ralph Connor (C. W.
