her first venture in literature, bit of
dialect verse, came { o the editor OF a
leading humOrO us paper. He accepted,
paid for il, and clamored for more.
Other editors copied 1.-THE compl!ers
of recitations began to include IN their
collections pretty we'll all that came out
over that name. They had wide field
to glean-Judge, Puck, Time, the
Courier Journal. the Century and others.
But dialect verse was very far from the
full measure of the young writer's
genius. In that most exciting of literary
Vehi cles, the short story. she showed so
fine, pure and firm touch as to secure
instant entrance to the charmed circle
of Harper publications, at whose gate
many older and less original spirits
languish in vain.
When her first book, 'Diana's Liv-
cry" came out it bore the Harper inn
print, and was hailed by all careful crit
les as a notable piece of work. Dealing,
as it did, mainly with Kentucky life
round about shaker community, it
broke well-nigh virgin soil-without,
however, throwing up the slightest
faint of moral mIasm.
Personally Mrs. McGlasson is small
and slight, though daintily rounded.
Her face has not lost all the soft curves
of childhood She has dark eyes and
wavy brown hair. full of red lights. In
manner she is piquantly original, with
no hint, though, of the bizarre. With
regard to her own achievements she is
modesty itself-the real modesty that
does not go a-masquerading in the guise
of pretended humility, and certainly
she sits more mercifully in judgment
upon other writers than upon her own
small self.
Her early years were spent in Ken
lucky. She has lately come to live in
cosmopolitan New York, where she has
been warmly received.
