HATTIE HORNER LOUTHAN.


Hattie Horner Louthan, a former White
Water, Kansas girl, is the author of five books
and many contributions to newspapers and first
class magazines. After graduation at the Normal
School, Emporia, in 1883, Miss Horner
engaged in teaching and literary work. Ten
years later, she became the wife of Overton
Earl Louthan, who died in 1906.

She is editor of the Great Southwest and
a member of the staff of the Denver Republican.
Her first volume of poems came out in
1885; the next year, ``Some Reasons For Our
Choice.'' ``Not At Home,'' a book of travels,
was published in 1889; ``Collection of Kansas
Poetry,'' in 1891; and ``Thoughts Adrift,'' in
1902. Her work is versatile; the rhyme easy
flowing and strong.
