ABLE WOMAN.

, OFFICIAL PROPAGANDIST.

Mrs. Elinor Glyn, the novelist, was one of the ableet of official propagandists in- the lest war. In her office in Paris she wrote propaganda about the French for America and about the Americans for the troops in France, and she paid several visits to the Somme. At the age of seventy-five Mrs. Glyn canndt take so active a part in the present war as, no doubt, she would like to do. To-day, she is an observer and she ha« left the role of war worker to her daughter, Lady (Rhys) Williams, ■who has a post in the Ministry of Information. La/tely the novelist has been absorbed in study of the Middle Ages and is thinking of embodying in a new novel some of the volume of notes on the intimate details of medieval life which the late Dr." T. M. Lindsay, the noted medievalist, compiled for her. These notes have never been published and Dr. Lindsay made only one other copy of them, for Lord Curzon.
