early in his career seriously meditated
suicide, Thackeray was harassed with
debt to the end of his days. Balzac's
life was shortened by the privations he
enduerd before success came but this
gifted girl reached fame and pecuniary
success at the first trial of her powers.
They were hers when she was only
twenty-five years old
The first phase of her authorship took
the form of miscellaneous stories. The
second phase was the development of a
remarka Bile talent for writing children s
literature. In that she is most success
full and so far at her best. In 10000
appeared Sisters Vocation and Other
Girls Stories THE Imp and the Au-
thor and "Other Tales For Young
Folk The original of the Imp" is
said to be Miss Daskam's brother The
Imp stories built a fair superstruc-
ture upon the foundation of fame the
young lady had already laid. Mean
time while her tales and sketches were
appearing in the magazines Miss Das-
kan wrote some poems which met ia
vor, like everything else from her pen.
Some of the best known of these are
The Old Captive" and The Little
Dead Child With a tender, delicate
touch she handles children's verses as
in the following:
We lived out under the pear tree,
We lived upon tarts and cream;
1 married you there forever,
But. dear twas only a dreami
We sailed away in the branches
To countries strange and new.
For We owned estates in Dreamland,
But, sweetheart, it isn't true!
Then next this young woman of
many gifts puts on new mask. and it
is the mask of comedy. ia bles For
the Fair is an emphatic rebuttal of the
old Islander that woman is destitute OF
humor. It shows Miss Daskam to pos
sess a gift of humor as fine and as
keen as that of any author living. This
is proved additionally in the laughable

Smith college girl has done the same

stuff in the American woman is not yet
exhausted.
Probably because the Smith girl had so
much to do she was not specially com

may have been because her mind was

the students. and the students loved
her none the more therefor Certainly

But the people who have the most
success in this world are the people
who have the fewest high magnetisms
to conquer. They get so after awhile
that they do not meet a magnetism

once in a year
When they do they set about to con-
