How Dumas Wrote Camille"
ladies' Home Journal.

A year after the death of Marie Duplessis
Alexander Dumas published his novel of
1.-THE Camellia Lady" 1t had great sue
cess, and it is generally understood that
Camille was simply 4 dramatization of
that story. In point of fact, the play was
written before the novel. In the first hours
of his grief for the dead girl, Dumas
Withdrew to the country, a habit that he
still retains whenever the fever of compo-
sition seizes upon him. Very desolate and
solitary was the lonely villa where the
young man came to shut himself up with
his sorrow and his inspiration. He had so
little dreamed of devoting his hours to
authorship that he had even neglected to
provide himself with a supply of paper.
Camille was written on the backs of let
tiers, on the hy-leayes of the books he
had brought with him, on wrapping
paper, on blotting paper, on anything of
thu kind. in short, that came to his hand.
He never stirred from his desk, except to
take necessary food and repose. and then
only when exhausted by work and fast
ing In week the drama was finished,
and Alexandra Dumas returned TO the
haunts of men, haggard and half dead,
and with fame and fortune wrapped up in
the roll of manuscript that he brought
with him. Only twenty-four. and yet the
author of the most successful dramatic
work of the day!
