The list of women of Maine who have taken high literary rank is not complete without the name of Mrs. Julia Schayer, a daughter of Rev. Jonas Thompson, who is a native of the pleasant village of Stevens Plains, Deering. Her first story, "Molle," appeared in Scribner's Monthly, September 1878, and was followed by "My Friend Mrs. Angel" and "Thirza." A three months serial entitled "Tiger Lily" begins in Scribner for November, and in their prospectus the publishers place her now among the best American story writers. It may not be generally known that she is the author of the admirable sketches of German life that have recently appeared in the Atlantic Monthly.
