Clearly Divided in Him, She Says, and He Would Pass Visibly Frorh One Personality to Other. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. “Every man and woman has, in a certain sense, a dual personality—one feminine, the other masculine, Genius # not male or female, but male and female. The development of the feminine element, the dreamy subjective side of our natures, tends to make poets, musicians, artists; the masculine element produces men of science, of practical achievement.” This is part of an interesting analysis made yester- day at the Hotel Bristol by the. widow of the most notable dual personality of modern times, William Sharp, the English art critic and essayist, whose death revealed him also as Fiona McLeod and solved one of the greatest literary mysteries of the century. The person of William Sharp united two distinct writers with sharply divergent points of view, one cold, reasoning, analytical, the other dreamy, poetical and with a marvellous insight into feminine nature which the critics of the day declared only a woman could possess. And the dual author himself declared that Fiona McLeod was the expression of his inmost self. Perhaps the most surprising feature | of double personality was MoLeod,” the writer of tales and runes, had become [much more famous than the older brother of her soul, William Sharp. Was Two Personaliti “In Mr. Sharp,” his widow and biographer continued, “the masculine TREATIES OF THE McLeod had thought or written, and as Fiona he did not forget his individu- ality as William Sharp.” Psychologist after his death, considered him a markable instance of dual personality, and he was, except in .he Jekyll-Hyde sense, where one side of a man’s nature 1s completely forgetful of the other side. “Sometimes I am tempted to be- Meve I am half a woman," Mr. Sharp once wrote to a friend.

Two Sides of His Nature. | “The first work of Fiona McLeod ap- peared in 1896, and from ‘that time till the end of hie life there was a don- tinuel play of the two forces within him, the two sides of his nature, the reasoning mind and the spiritual mind. He would speak often of the momentary jo in the brain,’ which would pre- ing from one personality to the other, I have been beside him when he has been in a trance and I} have felt the room throb with helght- ened vioration, He compared the two sides of his nature to the torch and the matoh, anid the comparison expresses as well the interdepemtence of the mascu- of citizens" “to take immediate meas- ures in conformity with the express tween the United States and Russia, and in accordance with the laws of nation, to terminate such treaties to the end that if treaty relations are to exist between the two nations, it shall be upon such conditions and guarantees only as ghall be consonant with the dignity of ithe American people." tion consisted vf Martin A.
