For Perturbed Literary Spirits.

The fact is, whether authors believe it or
not. the editor is more anxious to discover
merit in manuscript than is the author to
have him. Novelty and freshness are today
the ruling elements in literature, and the ed
itor is ever watchtul for either in all the
manuscripts which come under his eye. If
authors would devote more time and care to
the composition of their manuscripts, and
less to worrying what became of them after
they reached the editorial desk, literature
and the reading public would be the gamers
No author need ever invest her soul with
anxiety that her manuscript is not read. In
these days of sharp literary competition the
keenest outlook is required of the editorial
room, and good manuscript or bright
idea need not search long for a market. Well
told stories are not so plentiful that even the
most unpromising looking manuscript can
afford to be overlooked. An author can al
ways feel sure of one point-that, if her man
uscript is returned, there is some reason for
it. and the cause is generally not very far off
Either the production lacks merit or the
wrong channel has been selected for the ma
terial These are generally the two principal
reasons. There is world of common sense
in the remark made by a famous author to a
young writer who was loudly complaining Of
editorial inappreciation: Don't waste so
much time blaming the editors; devote more
to seeing if any rests upon you. Ladies'
