Hints to Young Scribblers.

In writing with lead pencil care
should be taken not to dip the pen too
deeply in the mucilage bottle.
A very convenient article for young
writer's is blank memorandum book in
which to jot down the sums of money
you receive for your articles. A small
one will do.
The greatest care should be taken in
selecting copy papers. Some editors
prefer cream-tinted note paper, scent
ed, with beaten gold finish for poems
and heavy ragged edge linen for love
stories. This is when you commence to
write. Later on the reverse Of wall
paper and the backs of old envelopes
will do.
In case you desire your Ms. returned,
1t is well to insert hint to that effect in
your letter; otherwise the editor is apt
to accept it against his better judg-
ment.
If you send manuscript to maya
zine and it is not published in eight
years you are at liberty to write TO the
editor about it. In such cases postage
should be prepaid.
In commencing a serial story care
should be taken not to give the reader
too much of an idea in the first chapter
of what you are going to write about.
A good method of disposing of MSS.
which have been found unavailable by
numerous editors is to offer them, with
out limiting at their previous rejection.
to the rag man, to be paid for at his
regular rates.
