THE NEW SPRING| GOODS James, at his 29—Henry James’ and Henry James presented in his own personali and career a paradox such as, in others, he delighted to study and to portray. He was born in New York, of New York parentage. He was an American who lived most of his life abroad and finished it as Educated Abroad He was born in New York City on April 15, 1843, but in his early vo became an exile. His father, was, perhaps, more at home in Eng- land, or at least better known ther: than in America, took him abroa and had him educated in the _be: private schools of Geneva, of Paris and of Boulogne. Bxtended trave on the continent were followed with a course at the University of Bonn. Then he came back to America, but not to New York. Instead he enter- ed the Harvard Law school, was graduated, and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar. Independent means made it unnecessary for him to devote himself to his profession for a livelihood, however, and in the course of a few vears of progressive neglect the bar came to know him no more. Tnstead of practicing law he began in 1866 to write for publication. But his means enabled him to do so in a | desultory fashion, suiting his own Be | tastes and conveniences rather than pecuniary needs. His first writings | were miscellaneous literar. and criticisms, contributed to new | papers and magazines. The first of | all was “The Story of a Year” in “The Atlantic Monthly,” in 1864, These attracted attention for their merits and their promise, though they gave little indication of the di- rection in which his industrious tal- ents would chiefly be developed. No work came from his pen remained in America. But he went to England to make manent home, and a couple of later his first volume appeared, Watch and Ward” This was follow- ed four years later—he could always Invitations will | afford to deliberate—in 1875 by *‘A McCall, ' Passionate Pilgrim,” one of the most and pas. | intense and characteristic of hix sengers agents of the New England | °2rly works.

He felt it incum- bent upon him, therefore, to with- draw his allegiance from the. land with which, in that transcendent i sue, he was no longer in sympath and to give it to the land which at fearful cost, had instantly taken up the cause which in his eyes was su- preme. He renounced his American citizenship, and on July 26, 1915 took the oath of allegianc a British ibject and received papers of naturalization. His sponsors in that act were Mr. Asquith, the prime min- nd Mr. Edmund Gosse. Their identity is a sufficient indication the esteem in which Mr. James was held in England.
