warning to some Of my readers who

earlier than she had given her servants
reason to expect, and to her consterna-
ton found three members OF her
household missing, the nurse, the
housemaid and-the babyl Greatly
terrified, she rushed to the concierge
TO make inquiries, and after some pre-
yarication the man informed her that
the two servants, fancying their mis-
tress would not return for some hours,
had gone to o notorious dancing place,
taking the baby with them, and there
the lady would be certain to find all
three "quite safe and sound" AS the
master Of the house was absent, the
distracted mother went to seek a male
relative, and together they visited tho
locality indicated, where they found
the two women drinking with friends,
bat no baby. In reply to frantic in-
ouiries after her child, the housemaid
impudently tolA her mistress-whose
smartest new gown she had borrowed

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IS.
AMERICAN WRITER'S LACKING.
Cemplaint That Good Work II In Demand
While tho Quality Il Poor.

Cemplaint That Good Work IL In Demand
While the Quality Il Poor.
There is IN increasing demand fos
good American fiction. With all due
respect to the galaxy of bright writere
In Great Britain who have achieved
such prominence here during the last
few years, it is, nevertheless, a fact
that publishers are looking eagerly for
novels and novelettes dealing with
American people and scenes. Said one
of them to the Literary World the 9TH
or day: I'VE have been publishing
English and Scotch stories simply be-
cause we could not procure American
fiction of corresponding worth. 1t Ia
needless to say that there Is far
greater demand for American novels
than for those written about charac-
ters and incidents European and Brit
ish. But It looks as II we could not
succeed in our endeavor. We do not
want q novel, for instance, that Ii
dashed off, three or four chapters at Q
time, by o woman after she has given
an afternoon tea before dressing for the
evening. But we want American
novels written by men and women
whose brains surge and swell while
they arc at work. And see no hope
full outlook excepting in the newspae
per offices"
The publisher does not understand
the conditions of newspaper work now
adays, or he might not be hopeful.
There are young men and young women
scattered through newspaper offices
here and there who are capable OF de-
veloping into novelists; but they have
no chance, while on morning papers, at
least. The average reporter goes to
work at noon, and then until midnight,
or an hour later, he or she Is Fastening
from one point to another, oftentimes
unable to eat regularly or to secure
sufficient sleep. BY the time the after
noon assignment is covered and the
''story" written the reporter has q
chance to breathe sometimes; and then
when he reaches the Office with his
evening assignment covered, provided
he has but one, he sits down and writes
when too often he is greatly fatigued.
At midnight, or one or two o'clock In
the morning, he goes home. Is 1t rea-
sonable to expect man or a woman
after such a siege to write fiction9 How
can it be done? Leaving entirely aside
the fact that newspaper work. with It's
plain statement of events, precludes
the development Of thought and lit
erary style, the reporters very exist
ence, with It's hurry and rush and ex-
hausting physical labor, makes 1t very
doubtful If we can look to him as o
class from whom to expect fiction.
With men and women on evening pa
pers the case is different. They have
more leisure, in the evenings, at least;
but the fact remains that as q usual
thing the brightest men and women
prefer morning papers, because they
paw so much more.
