WHAT MAKES
A SHORT STORY7

The commercial value of the short
story Is much-mooted question be-
tween author and editor, the former
pointing to the extraordinary success
of such authors as Sir Gilbert Par
ker, Rudyard Kipling or Mrs. Free
man, while the latter refers to the
sad fate of the general run Of short
story fiction. A new and apparently
very sensible contribution to the au-
thor's side of the discussion is made
by the editors of the Harper Readers
Library, William J. and Coningsby
w. Dawson, in the preface to one of
the new volumes, The Great English
Short Story Writer'S" Prejudice
against the short story, say these crit
les, IS largely due to the lack of def
mite standard as to just what short
story should be- IF the story sue
ceeds, it appears to be by accident
rather than by design. Sometimes it
is interpolated into the text of nov
Ell by the most haphazard and clumsy
means; sometimes it is really a long
novel abbreviated. Accordingly the
Messrs. Dawson suggest: that "the
true standard demands that the short
story shall be complete in itself; that
it shall be short because it cannot be
long,; and that it shall consist of but
one incident" The layman is left to
wonder whether, assuming that these
rules were more generally respected.
the average short story would still be
any less of a failure
