AUTHORESS'S HARD TIMES.
There is in Paris a woman writer of great talent who has fallen on hard times. She is Marguerite Audoux, the author of "Marie Clare." When this charming story of a youug girl's life, remarkable for its delicacy of treatment, observation, simple analysis and power of description, appeared, the discovery that the author was a poor, almost blind, dressmaker, caused no little astonishment. It was the late Octavo Mirbeau who . discovered her, and the success of her work brought her halycon days, during which she was able to help to bring up a young niece and three nephews. Marguerite Audoux has sinco written twoothernovels, the "Atelier de Marie Claire," and "De' la Villo au Moulin," but she fell ill some months back, and since then her pen has been idle. Now a number of readers and friends have come to her assistance, and she has teen induced to be in attendance at the Librarie Flammarion, where yesterday she_ signed copies of her work for purchasers.
