NOyel-Writing,

The author of John Halifax tells her
experience and practice as follows:
"How do you write a novel?" has
been asked me hundreds of times; and
as half the world now writes novels, ex-
pecting the other half TO read them, my
answer, given in plain print, may not be
quite useless. What other novelists do
1 know not, but this has been my own
way-ab QUO. For, I contend, all stories
that are meant to live must contain the
germ of life, the egg, the vital principle.
Therefore, the first thing is to fix on a
central idea, like the spine of a human
being, or the trunk of a tree. From it,
this one principal idea, proceed all after
,growths; the kind of plot which shall
best develop it, the characters which
must act it out, the incidents which will
express these characters, even to the
conversations which evolve and describe
these incidents-al are sequences follow
ing one another in natural order. Every
part should be made subservient to the
whole. You must have a foreground
and background and a middle distance.
IF you persist in working up n char
acter, or finishing infinitely n incident
OF series of Incidents. your perspective
Will ne ucSIIOJou duu yOuI uONcI DcCOulC
a mere collection of fragments, not a
work of art at all. The true artist will
always be ready to sacrifice any pet de-
tail to the perfection of the whole. This,
if I have put my meaning clearly, shows
that q .conscientiously written novel is
by nomeans a piece of impulsive, ac-
cidental scribbling, but a deliberate
work of art; that though in one senes it
it is also a work of nature, since every
part ought to result from and be kept
subservient to the whole, still, in another,
the novel is the.last thing that ought to
be allowed to say of itself, like Topsy,
"S'pects Igrowed." Not eyen as to the
mere writing of it. Style OF compost
ton, though to some 1t comes naturally;
to others does not come at all. When I
was young an older and more experienced
writer one said to me: "Never use two
adjectives where n will do; never use
an adjective at all where a noun will do.
Avoid italics, notes of exclamation,
foreign words and quotations. Put full
stops instead of %colons; make your SEN
fences as short and clear as you possibly
can, and whenever you think you have
written a particularly fine sentence, cut
it out" We novelists cannot help but
smile when asked if such and such a
character is ''taken from life," and
especially when ingenious critics persist
in identifying-usually falsely-certain
persons, places or incidents. For me, /
can only say that during all the years /
have studied humanity I never met with
one human being who could have been
''put into a book" as a whole, without
injuring it. The only time 1 ever at
tempted (by request) to make a study
from ENTHUSIASTICALLY literal-all re-
viewers cried out, to my extreme amuse-
ments, ''This character is altogether
unnatural"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-30
The Mind Survives the Body.

I scarcely know how it is, but the
deaths of children seem to me always
less premature than those of older per-
sons. Not that they are in fact SO, but
it is because they themselves have little
or no relation to time or maturity.
Life seems rae which they have yet
to run entirely. They have made no
progress toward the goal. They are born
nothing further. But it seems hard
when a man has toiled high up the steep
hill of knowledge, that he should be
cast, like Sisyphus, downward in a mo-
ment. That he who has worn the day
and wasted the night in gathering the
gold of science, SHOULD be-with all the
wealth of learning, all its accumulations
made bankrupt at once. What be-
comes of all the riches of the soul, the
piles and pyramids of precious thoughts
which men heap together? Where are
Shakespeare's imagination, Bacon's
learning, Galileo's dream? Where is the
sweet fancy of Sidney, the airy spirit of
Fletcher, and Milton's thought severe ?
Methinks such things should not die and
dissipate, when a hair can live for CEN
turies and brick of Egypt viii last three
thousand years! I am content to be-
lieve that the heart of man survives
somewhere or other-his clay.-Barry
Cornwall.

The Daughter Of Ethan Allen.

In his "reminiscences of Montreal, In
the Star, of that city, MI. j. Il. Dorwin
writes: 81 have one more little event to
mention, that is scarcely worth re-
cording, only that it interested me very
much yatvthe time it happened, and re-
calls the name of a man somewhat re-
nowned in the Revolutionary War, and
connected with an important event in
Montreal's history. On the 10th of
December, 1919, there died atsthe Hotel
Diem, on st. Paul street, a nun known as
Sister Allen. Her full name was
OF tho amou. Guloncf Ethan Allen, who,
it will be remembered, accompanied
Montgomery In his invasion of Canada
in ITO, and, attempted, with a small
detachment, to surprise Montreal, but
wa defeated and captured and sent to
England in irons. She came from her
home IN Burlington, Vermont, in 1908,
when twenty-four years old, and thus
spent eleven years in the nunnery. 1
never knew of her presence here until
one afternoon Iheard onthe street that
a daughter of the brave but unfortunate
old soldier. had just died in the Hotel
Dieu, and I hurried v to see her.
Her body was lying in state in the
chapel, and, it being my first visit to a
/. Convent, the solemn stiffness of the
place, the wax lights burning beside the
coffin, the nuns kneeling there repeating
prayers for the departed soul, and above
all the thoughts called up by the name
