In the department OF book talk in
Lippincotfs the editor states what is
undeniably true, that magazine sub
scribsIs themselye', especially the
male portion, are beginning TO weary
Of the serial reading OF fiction. They
are too hurried, to busy, they read
too much and forget too easily 10 care
TO have their fiction doled out in
monthly portions. They do not wish,
and many are not able, TO carry the
details OF a story in their minds for an
entire twelvemonth. They like to
have the option OF finishing what they
read at single sitting. The novel IT.
sell is shrinking 10 size bef1re the new
demands of the age. The bulky fiction
OF the last generation is being super
ceded in popuiarlavor by the novelette,,
Ten years ago the bravest OF publish
ers would hesitate before touching a
volume Of short stories. Today there
are nearly a score OF writers whose
short stories collected in book form
find ready market. All these signs
OF the times have persuaded the man
ayers of Lippincot's Magazine that the
time ia now ripe for radical change
in the method OF publishing fiction In
periodicals. Instead of giving novels
in sectious a complete novel, OF a pop
ular g re, will be published with every
issue OF the magazine, the series COM
mencipg in the November number
with "Brueton's Bayou" a charming
story by John Habberton. Julian
Hawthorne, Frances Hodgson Burnett
Mrs. Lucy. @. Lille, Edgar Fawceti
and other authors will follow.
