The Accumulation of D;anuscr,,,ts


Now, it viii hardly be said that there
are not more than two hundred and fifty
people in this country who earn their liv-

act figures; nobody does; but | should not
be surprised to learn that there were at
least twenty times as many And what
becomes of all the work that these people
produce? A great deal is taken up by the
cheap and obscure magazines, by the
weekly story papers. and by the daily
papers which are reached by the compara-
lively new syndicate" system But all
these are not enough; and yet these are
all there are. There still remain thou
sands of writers who have 10 vehicle for
their productions, even when these are

Every editor Will tell you land tell you

Ha1per's for example, have in their draw

done; but it is by no means impossible.
What is true of the great magazines is
true in proportion of the lesser ones. The
supply exceeds the demand; and if no
author were to write e line from now

barely exhausted their over abundant sur

One of the latest and most dainty
things in individual salt cellars is full
blown rose or chrysanthemum in cameo
glass, the delicate translucent buff or
crimson petals of which overlap each
other and leave the heart of the flower
hollow. These artistic salt cellars are
sold at $40. They are made by that En-

Some Pretty Literary Women.

In London they are bringing up the
question again as to whether literary
women are always ugly. Now, they are
not, by long manner of means. You
see, too often fame comes to them when
age is beginning to appear. New York
can boast of some extremely pretty wo-
men who earn their living by their pens,
Ethel Richmond who is just now
abroad, looks like dainty little lady
who has just stepped off an Easter card.
Mrs. Percy, tall, slender and dark, with
magnificent eyes, looks like Spanish
woman. Lille Hamilton French is an
other dark beauty. Frances Williams
has great, soft eyes, beautiful brown
hair and a skin that any society girl
might be envious of. There is Agnes
Russell, dark and with chic air that is
essentially French. Why, one could
keep on for half an hour telling of the
women who are pretty, and are at.
tractive, and are well dressed, while the
dowdies could be counted of on your
fingers, and are really the exceptions
that prove the rule-New York Sun.

ladies' seem to affect certain colors fol
their gowns. Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer Is
generally in browns, Mrs. Mary Bryan
in pink or black, Mrs. Hodgson Burnei

That is the new game. christened tidile-

cup called a wink pot and two dozen

four larger ones about the size Of an OLD
