Prosnerous Women Writers.

writer's dined together the other even
ing at the Criterion restaurant in
London. under the residence of Mrs.
Humphrey Ward. Writing is no
longer the beggarly profession that IL
used TO be. To be sure, the women
who wrote were formerly a very
small company. They never had gar.
rets in Grub street; they never went
about in rags; still, it must be con.
fessed that for the most part they
were of small account.
The multiplication of journals and
magazines has done for the women
of letters what IL has done for the
man of letters: II has enormously in
creased the market. and ii offers a
thousand openings; ii forces n writer
TO study strength and dramatic situa-
tion, and il makes him independent.
