 WRIT FIR.

The way 10 write is first to have something to say, and then say it as well as you can. That is Ill there is about it. If what you say is some thing which the world wants to hear. an editor will find it cut quick enough when you send him the manuscript. So far as "a chance to be heard is concerned, there is plenty of chance? The question is: Have you something worthy of a chance? That you can only find out by sending your manu- script to editors. Influence" counts for nothing in a magazine office; the only thing that counts is what there is in a anuscript-Edward Box in the March Ladies Home Journal.
