THE MYSTERIES OF LITERATURE

A not-too-elderly spinster OF our ac-
quaintance, whose SoIe contribution to
literature has been an impressionistic
dress pattern in Harper's Bazaar, re-
ceived the following request from the
editor of the Tiptop Magazine:
Wont you let us see some Of your
work. We especially desire at pres
ent bright, cheerful and amusing short
stories of from ], 800 to 5000 words, and
pay generously for them. We trust
you will keep us in mind when next
you complete manuscript"
Our spinster acquaintance had never
essayed short story writing, but so
warm and personal an invitation
would inspire anybody to a trial. She
spent a month or more constructing a
bright, cheerful and amusing tale of
2,987 words counting compounds as
one world, which she dispatched in a
f1utter to the TiptoD Magazine.
In the course of human events the
manuscript came back, accompanied
by a printed slip expressing stereo-
typed regrets. The spinster author
was Surprised-nOt because her story
was not accepted (she was a modest

warmly and personally solicited bad

turned.

of the bright, cheerful and amusing,
and strong, virile and dramatic sto-

editors of the magazines find ii neces-
sary to circulate the country so to
speak. Clipping bureaus supply the
names of people who write, and to
each of these the Office boy dis
patches a cordial Wont you send us
