of Harbor III i'll,
Roslyn, the highest point on Long Is
land, where Bryant loved to wander,
and where her house is to stand.
In many cases the new dwellers in
this land of beauty have not even built
new houses. They have cunningly mod
flied the farmhouses of the old set
tiers, adding here room and there

This is what Mr.. belmont has done.
His house looks to-day, to "a careless
glance. just as it did when Mr.. Bryant
was living.
The old-fashioned farmhouse is the
model of the most expensive country
house architecture. The oldfashioned
farm is the model of the millionaires'
estate. The farmer is in style without
half trying. He had only TO sit still
until the style caught up with him.
Mrs. Howard Gould has, for instance,

civil war. Perhaps people will take
as much interest in a story of the civil
war a they do in stories of wars of old
or oates. No one can say whether they
will or not. If they do, here is story
that will run. At least, that's what
the literary tasters say.

autbor to rewrite il four or five times.
BEFORE Mr.. Hitchcock saw the manu-
script il had been rejected by four
houses in New York, one in Boston
and one in Chicago.
Mr.. Hitchcock discovered Max Nor
dau: he did not discover the late
stephen Crane, but was the first TO
take him up for book publication. He
is not popular with authors. | once
asked Ar. Altsheler. who has published
four books with the Appleton's, why
this is so.
II don't know" he said, "unless it is
because when he sees pretty good

the author how TO improve il. Some Of
them resent it,"
