The Author of 'sfrnby" Talks Interesting
 iy About His Literary Work.


 iy About His Literary Work.
 Theafternoon on which I made my way to Hampstead to call on Du Maurler, tho author of "Trilhy, writes a Boston Herald correspond. ent. was dull, and tho picturesque Queen Anne houses on tae kill and the trees around them were en- shroudcd in a silver mist Tho whole district with its narrow winding roads, its quGnt architecture and its homelil1e air, was typieally English. New Grove House stands very near the top of tho hill, and the view from the window is uncommonly fine. One would expect the interior of the house of an artist to be artistic and no ono could be disappointed in Du Maurier's home filled as 1t is with rare pictures, drawings and art treas ures
 Our talk naturally turned to Mir Du Maurier's literary work, and of that the author spoke with perfect franlness. Ut has all been a great surprise 10 me, he said. 'I had no idea that could write til my good friend, Henry James, tried to per suade me that l could.
 How did Mir. James happen to do thatgn I asked.
 Ut was one day while we were walking together on Hampstead heath. We were talking about story writing, and said to him: If l were Q writer, it seems to mo that l should haveno difficulty about plots I have in my head now plots for Do stories. I'm always working them out for my own amusement 'Woll, he said. it seems to me that you are very fortunate person. l wish vou'd tel mo ono of thOso plots. Then told him the story of 'Tril. by.
 And he liked it?"
 'Yes. he praised it very generous ly. Well, said, 'you may have the idea and work it out to your own satisfaction. But he refused tO ao- cept it. You must write it yourself, he said. I'm sure you can do it II yoa'll only try. But insisted that I oonldu't. and so we left the matter, But that night after going homo il occurred to me that it would bC worth trying to write. after all. So, on the impulse, sat down and be gun work.
 "On 'Trilby?'"
 "No. On Peter Tbbetsen. l kept at it for a time, but after doing sew eral chapters became utterly dis couraged. and said to myself one evening: oh, I can't do anything with this. It's n mad story. It's ut ter rubbish. Then 1 took up the sheets, and was just about to throw them into the fire when l thought 1 I'd keep them for another day and think the thing over. That night 1T bed. while l was worrying about th' impoSsibility of going on with th' tale, tho solution of my difficulty suddenly occurred to me. m mak' the hero mad, l cried to myself That will put everything right. & the next day I wrote the introduo ton, explaining Peter's madness and after that went on with thl work ia the end without any nor trouble
 "'Trilby' fairly wrote itself in sil weeks"
