more abundant and more interastin,

these are all conspicuous. But the in
teresting thing Is that outside of this
brave company there are numbers of
n"velists and writer's of short stories
whose work is undeniably diverting. A
fair proportion are Americans. In fact.
more than half the newer authors of
the day are natives of the United
states. They are being discovered
right and left. Every geographical
district has now its novelist. Fiction
Is being mapped out with prodigious
thoroushness and speed. There is a
suggestion here for a student of the
laws of supply and demand. The say
ing that every man has written a
tragedy in his youth takes no account
of the publishing business. Ali those
great works are expected to be left
IN manuscript. They are not written
for sordid pelf. but because the
authors cannot help themselves Is it
so with the new novelistS? Does the
flood of new fiction simply mean that
countless desks are yielding up their
wllfully neglected treasures? Or is it
the public demand for fiction which is
