A CALIFORNIA NOVELIST,

"a California woman who has
achieved most brilliant success in
literature is Gertrude Atherton,
She is not only a genius, but a
hard worker as we'll; and the two
hand in hand, forces success al.
ways. Most writers allow their
readers to tire at times; but she
never-becanse she is tireless her
self, y writes Ella Higginson, in the
June New Paterson, in a delightful
article on Some Pacific Coast
Writers. Mrs. Anterior has
taEen up the Old California lifee
and is giving us the picturesou,
men and women of those old 70.
mantle days. The Doomswoman'
is her most important work. 1t is
a careful study of local color and
of human loves, hates, and pas
slonate prejudiCes. Indeed, every
thing she writes is a study of hui

plain English, and the truth is,
the more people know of other
languages than their own the more
they don use them"
And this is exactly the truth that
I would like to impress to every
young writer in the land. True
knowledge can afford to go clad i'll
simple garments and making no
display. 1t is only ignorance that
tricks itself in gaudy fnery and
trials its borrowed furbelows be-
fore the eyes of an astonished
world. Among all the parvenues
on earth there is none so obnoxi-
Gus as the literary parvenue;-the
one who quotes French he cannot
spell, and is very far from being
able to translate; and never uses a
small word when he can by any
chance find a large one. Where
fore, if any reader of these lines is
beginning to use his own pencil,
with some fond hopes of making a
reputation for himself after a while,
let him begin first of all to cult
vate the gift of simplicity, feeling
that without it all the other gifts
will avail him nothing.

everything that is worth seeing or

edge of language and style makes
them the best and fairest of critics,
and if there is any merit in an
author they are among the first to
find it out. l heard two of them
the other day in the composing
room of Texas daily, discussing
the work Of some contributor.
"She writes WE'LL" they said.
Her work is always good; but
she spoils it by constantly using

Eliza D. Keith ("Di Vernon"), in
a charming paper, "Concerning

Peterson. 1T is true that our
soCiety-men care more for pleasure
than they do for culture. But
this also is true: in San Francisco,
all abiding respect is held for
women. There is no place, from a
theatre to reception, that
mother may not render her daugh-
ter all all-sufliCient escort. A
woman, in San Francisco, can go
through this great city after night

chivalry of American manhood,

of insult. In San Francisco, a

Il could hardly believe it. The
