THE WRITERS.

After long silence Miss Braddon, who is now an old lady, is about to bring out a new novel.

Mrs. Mary Wilkins-Freeman has gone back to her maiden name in writing books, and her forthcoming volume will have her name as simply Mary E. Wilkins on the title page.

It appears that Lady Helen Forbes, the novelist, is a real person-the only sister of Lord Craven, Mr. Bradley Martin's son-in-law. She is the wife of Captain Forbes, who has seen service in South Africa.

Ibsen has just celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday-not publicly, however, as his physicians forbade it. The poet can't take any active exercise, but he drives out every day with the young doctor, who never leaves him. He reads a little every day and likes to talk, but never writes even the shortest letter.
