When you are convinced hat a paper

When convinced that it is ~unclean, stop
1t. When it lacks enterprise and fails
to give you the news, stop it. But don't
stop a paper that you believe to be hon.

simply because its editor has written
his W sincere views, instead Of yours
or somebody ~else's. for if you do you

When the old leaf shrivels, the new
plant is cut off and planted. When
carefully cultivated, the life plant pro.
duces curious red and yellow blossoms.

In the manufacture Of their books American
publishers show an ever increasing sOllcituue

designs In one respect however, the book
printed in America and especially the novel,
still leaves room for reform. The cloth binding
is temporarily attractive in its brilliant red, Tor

II is a common practice among writer's of iictIoh
10 publish n book Of short stories under the
title Of the first story in the book. Sometimes
n subtitle indicates the miscellaneous character
Of the collection. but often it is necessary 10
turn 10 the table Of contents Or even to the BODY
of the book itself TO discover the facts In the
first place this is misleading TO readers, ana Is
especially annoying. says our photographer, TO
those who find they have ordered book OF
short stories when they thought they were or
dcring Il novel" But, continues the attorney
for the prosecution, my own complaint is that
the habit adds to the labors of the bbliographer
who now can no longer trust to the title page
of n work of fiction, but must periOrce also
study the table of contents before he can de-
scribe the volume with the certainty OF being
accurate" As there are few things more nat
tcring to authors than the attention OF blbh-
ographcrs they will doubtless take notice OF the
wise words just quoted.

tional confirmation every day In America we
have had the southern novelist the New
England village novelist" the "slum novelist
and several other types Recently the novelist
Of journalism" has appeared, seeking usually

into fiction. The college novelist is another
new product Of the time. In one publishers
catalogue We find no less than six books en-
tered under the general title of Tales Of Col
lcgc Life" 1t is one Of the developments Of
"rcalism": whether good or bad one remains
TO be seen. If, however. we may judge from
the work thus far accumulated the novelist who
has been content to take all human nature for
his field need not fear that his prc-cmincncc is
endangered. We venture To think. indeed, that
it requires such an author adequately to treat
these special phases of life. He has no diff

for him local color has no tcrrors no secrets.
