ABOUT GREAT AUTHORS.

George Du Maurier said that the bits
Of dialogue accompanying his pictures
in Punch involved more study and time
than the drawing of the pictures them
selves. Each was n situation. Each

When James T. Fields first visited
Thackeray the great English novelist
jocosely told his American guest to "go
down on his knees, as Vanity Fair was
written in that housei"-number 13,
Young street, Kensington.
Victor Hugo's dramatic instinct en-
abled him TO draw as well as to write,
and he was enthusiastically fond of the
nrt. He was superbly and originally
fantastic-Dore being commonplace
and without dignity, in comparison.
Mrs. Stowe was very fond of dogs,
and all manner of dogs, "big and little,
curly and straight" abounded in her
home at Andover. Her house at Mag
nolia, Florida, was built about a great
live oak, the trunk Of which grew into
the guestroom.
An ardent admirer Of Maurice Maeter-
lnck describes him in the Figaro as "the
most brilliant, sublime, moving poet
that the last 300 years has produced"
Max Nordau, on the contrary, charac-
terizes him as "a pitiable,| mental Grip
ple." And such is fame.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps considers 80
short story, properly fitted for the
higher magazines of our day, as one of
the very finest forms of expression. No
inspiration is too noble for it; no

story, which oil our experiments and
achievements are building with a grad
