HUNTING FOR NEW WRITER'S.
A Magazine Finds but so Worthy Manu-
scripts out Of &, 900 Read in . Yosr.

Eight thousand manuscripts were
received by The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal during tho year just closed. Each
was given careful reading, but out
Of the entire number only eighty were
found worthy of publication. The
Manuscript Bureau Of The Ladies'
Home Journal is operated at large
expense, but the hope Of discovering
new writer's or some aspirants with
undeveloped talent warrants the out
lay. 1t can be seen that the articles
secured by such a careful winnowing
process bring the cost of each up to
and above the remuneration paid our
best writer's.
These facts bring refutation to the
oft-repeated, but none the less erron-
eous assertion that only well-known
writer's of established literary reputa-
tion are able to find place for their
work in the magazines. Exactly the
contrary is true. The Ladies' Home
Journal, through the manuscripts
considered, has discovered three or
four new writer's Of excellent merit
and great promise, and this "tind' its
editor regards as fully warranting the
large outlay of maintaining an expen-
sive bureau for reading all the manu-
scripts submitted.
