Mr.. Charles H. Day of this city, while
taking a season of rest, has employed his
pen to some extent and has just finished
an admirable novelette, entitled Stand
still, which, together with another fine
story from his pen, he has just sold to a
newspaper syndicate. The latter is a
charming Christmas story. ''Standstill"
has local flavor which is instantly recog-
nized by New Haveners, and to it's full ex-
tent by those raised in this city and vicin-
ity. Mr.. Day is bright, versatile writer,
whose success in this field of literary effort
was long since established. He has for
twenty years been a contributor of short
stories to the New York Clipper, and he
is also valued contributor to the Phil
adelphia Sporting Life and San Francisco
Music and Drama, the latter of which he
edited for some time while resident of the
Pacific coast His stories are never tame or
spiritless, but are alive with spicy and
vigorous touches and telling situations, all
drawn wildly and with real dramatic skill
and power. His is the pen of a ready
writer. Few have 80 large a fund Of
experience and knowledge of American life
and character in score of phases in east,
west, north and south, in city and wilder
ness, in home circles of the east, on the
plains, among the Sierras or on the Pacific

ters, scenes and situations with q rare
