Novels I'm Daily Papcr.

The novel Is gradually being introduced
into the daily papers. 1t Is rather q curious
thing that the value Of the feuilleton or
continued story which has for years been
known to the French should not have been
recognized by American publishers before.
OF course as the papers begin giving con-
tinucd stories the works Of we'll known
men viii be sought for. When, however,
the practice becomes peneral--which Il
will IN time, the system being good one,
and one which readers like--there will not
be enough well known authors to "go
around" and there will be chance for tho
younger ones. This viii be q good thing.
No man or woman is born novelist,
there is trade side to tho work which
must be learned by long apprenticeship.
Tt viii be well, then, for the writer's to
have opened to them the great market Of
the daily papers.
Nor viii this change, which seems to
be rapidly coming, seriously affect the
booksellers. A novel which has had q
big run IN the newspapers viii be very
safe book to publish, and Its preliminary
publication will be Of the nature of an ad-
vertisement At least, this has been the
experience Of the English publishers. The
change is coming fast. Already the syn
dicates are buying short stories and send
