Harrington is a dramatist. He sees the
thing in his minds eye, first of all. 1t
is unfortunate that he has not trained
himself so that he could make finished
drawings, for, if he could, we would
have the remarkable case of an author
illustrating his own works of fiction.
Such a thing would be of great advant-
age to the reader, for he could get at
once the exact idea of the author as 20
how his characters looked and acted
Some of the most curious errors creep
into the illustrations of our novels now
days. In Richard Harding Davis
last book, ''in the Fog the work of
two different artists is shown, each
evidently taking one-half of the book
for his illustrating share. One ar
fist pictures a messenger as a short,
thickset, black-haired individual who
is carrying a suit case; the second ar
fist, picturing a scene five minutes Ia
ter in the court of the story, repre-
sents the messenger a tall, thin, bald,
and carrying small satchel. Mr..
Tarkington's method would be of de-
cided advantage. 1t is too bad that
his modesty prevents him from allow
ing his own conception of the scenes
to be included in his published vol
umes.
The recent proposal of some South
ern gentlemen to establish an exclu-
sive Southern book publishing house
has stirred up considerable comment
among the Northern papers, particu-
larly. The plan, so far as can be
learned, is to found a -million-dol-
lar publishing house in Atlanta, and
the promoters of the plan argue as it's
need that Southern writer's do not get
a fair chance under the present condi-
tons. They claim that there is pit
liable lack of appreciation of men and
women of conspicuous talent, ability
and genius in the South, and that they
seek in vain for any considerable
number included in the list of Ameri-
cans in any line of achievement. If
this was true, the Northern comments
argue, it is a humiliating confession,
but it is SO far from the truth that
it is a very gross libel on the South.
Indeed it seems that, with such names
as Joel Chandler Harris, Thomas Nell
son Page, Mary Johnston, Ellen Glas-
gov, Grace King, George w. Cable
and dozen of others in or from the
South is not so bad off in this regard.
AS to other lines of achievement, it is
to be doubted If the new and grow
ing South is proportionately behind
any other section of the country.
There is no more intellectual lethargy
in the South than in the West or
NOrtn, ana, with the fdplu duVdHce-
ment that is being made in CONNER
cial ways. it does not seem fair on the
part of these Southern gentlemen to
speak i'll of their own staets. Let us
have a publishing house in Atlanta
and another in New Orleans and in
any other cities in that section Of the
country, If there should prove to be
a demand for more publishing enter
prises. but do not confine their out
pitt to works by Southern writer's.
There should be no need of that.

many instances of the ways Kipling

hub Ali, the horse trader in Kim -
1t makes one feel the reality in Kim
to read about old Mahbub Ali in an ar
ticle published long before kim" was

a very stately and very dirty Pathan,
"indescribably filthy, but with magnifl-
cent mien and features, says Mr.. Rob-
inson, who looked on Kipling as a man
distinguished among all "sahibs."

said that Kipling owes not only much
of the local color of his short stories,
particularly of THE Man Who Would

of his Indian days, but also for many
of the important facts of detail in

his books.
Booth Harrington has most unique
way of writing his stories. He does not
plot out a story, as is usual, but he
makes drawings of the different scenes

put in little details of costume, fur

Indianapolis 1t is said that he has the
complete sets of drawings for both

set would make a very large portfolio
of pictures. Once he has made the
drawings, Mr.. Harrington begins to
write, and his work of recording what
he has visualized is fairly rapid, though
he spends a great deal of time in verb
flying every item of description The
fact that he visualizes his stories In
this manner shows at once that Mr..

Who shall fathom the heart of a wo-

that lack Of embarrassment that
comes from a perfect understanding.
And she did not even blush.
