The Story of a Novel

MT Howells' latest novel, "The Coast of Bohemia" now running through the pages of The Ladies' Home Journal, was written in four different States. MT Howells began the novel at his fathers home in Ohio last May; continued it in Boston in June; took 1t to the mountains of New Hampshire during the summer and worked at it; brought it to New York and wrote number of chapters there in October; took it back again to Ohio in November, and finally finished it in New York last December. And yet, despite all these changes of places of writing, the novel turns out really to be the brightest piece of work that Howells has done for long time.

The Hotel Waldorf was thrown open to guests in New York Tuesday night Mar. 14th. It is production of count less millions of wealth and is the finest furnished hotel in the world. It will not be a public hotel because the public cannot afford to patronize it. Crowned heads, multi-m 1lionaires and invited guests are the only classes who can live there (except servants).
