G.. D. Gibson and Edward W. Box
were chatting together in the formers
studio one day, when the editor of
The Ladies' Home Journal said:
"Why don't you drop the American
girl, Gibson, and try something entirely
new 2"
"What is there new ?" asked Glib
son.
"Illustrate Dickens" laconically
answered the editor.
"IlIustrate Dickens!" repeated Glib
son. i" Why, man alive -" Just
then the artists mother came into the
studio. q Mother" he said, what
have l always told you'll would rather
do in the way of illustration than any
thing else?"
Well, l don't know, Dana, unless it
is to illustrate Dickens"
Exactly, and Box walks in iustnow
and asks me to do it.
Gibson went to Europe on his we'd
ding trip and remained in London for
six months. There he worked away at
his Dickens sketches. Upon his return
a few weeks ago he delivered the first
drawings of the series to The Ladies'
Home Journal, and the initial one will
be printed in the Christmas issue. The
finished drawings are said to be re-
markable portrayals. The characters
chosen are Pickwick; Pecksniff and his
two daughters; David Copperfield;
Dick Swiveller and The Marchioness;
Old Scrooge, from a Christmas
Carol'': Caleb Plummer and his blind
daughters, and other characters from
Dickens. The Journal will present the
entire series during 1897

the whole range of literature.
In these days of business activity and

essarily limited, but this work supplies
a demand felt by ALTO get the great
est amount of the choicest literature of
