Luck In the Letter "B."

A writer has discovered that many
of the worst foes of the horticulturist
begin with "w," and he instances
worms, weevils, wind and other work
ers of wickedness. This suggests =
question as to whether there Is any
natural grouping of good or evil things
under particular letters. Take 3d." for
example, and consider how many
Blooms and blessings to man begin with

For additional foods he has bacon,
black bass, beans, bloaters, broccoli,
broth, bivaives, bananas, berries. bis

beneficent things included under that
blessed letter 3D." Now. as contrast,

ReauIsitee Of a Good Short Story.

ct. P" has recently published some
Interesting results of an inquiry
among editors with regard to their re-
quirements in the matter of accepta-
Bile short stories. The opinions were
various; but the following require
ments were generally implied: The
author who would succeed in produc-
ing available matter in this form of
literary art should take care that his
story is:
-Unhackncyed in conception.
Secund-Well constructed.
Third-Wcll written.
Fourth-Humorous or sentimental
or pathetic.
Fifih-A comment on lifa
Sixth, and finally, it must be inter
esting.
"All that I ask Of a short story"
says one well known authority, lis
that it will compel one to read Il TO
the end"-which reminds one Of
