A LITERARY SUCCESS
Miss Nancy Cunard, the daughter of the famous shipowner, the late Lord Cunard, has just sent me a copy of the anthology "Negro," which she has edited, states a London writer. It is a tremendous work of 855 large quarto pages, containing at a moderate estimate 750,000 words. Miss Cunard has been working at it for nearly three years, and the result has been very much worth the trouble. To those who know her, the statement that she intends devoting the rest of her life to the negro race is not surprising. For some years, fighting against the oppression of negro peoples has been both the main passion and interest in her life. Here in London she has organised a series of inter-racial dances, with the object of creating a better understanding between black and white people. She herself lives in one of the poorest quarters of London, leading a life remote from the 'May fair in which her mother is one of the great hostesses.
