of the South:
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Gilmer, who is
known all over the land as Dorothy
Dix, tells such pretty story OF the
way she got into writing that | cannot

She is now on the editorial staff of the
New York Journal, one of the best-paid
of American women writer's. She says:
II was born and raised on bIgrace-
horse farm in Montgomery county,
Tennessee, where l grew up with thor
oughbred colts and little negroes, the
two things l really understand best,
and that can never refrain from writ
ing about long at a time. When l was
twelve years old l was sent to neigh
boring town to a female academy
where l was given a very thin smat-
tering of all the ologies and isms, and
was graduated in love of an organdy
dress at sixteen. I didn't distinguish
myself at school. In fact, l spent the
last two years getting out school

again, and wrote some little sketches
Of plantation life and race horse stor-

Chance threw me into little
Mississippi coast town, where my next
door neighbor was Mrs. E. J. Nichol-
son, the editor and proprietor of the
New Orleans Picayune. A friendship
as close as the love Of sisters sprung
up between us. showed her my little
stories and she offered to print them
was overjoyed, and began contribut-
ing them occasionally to the Picayune
Five years ago she offered me the posi-
ton of editor of the woman's depart
ment and special sketch writer on the
Picayune, which I have held ever since
until the present.
"On the Picayune I created feat
