Great Plots and Great Novels.

The instinct for plot 10 an unap-
peasable one, and children keep US
constantly aware of the depth and the
fundamental nature of the demand
that a story shall be q story. This.
by the way. is the hardest thing to
make it, and the student of fiction is
constantly surprised to find how few
are the great plots as compared with
the number of the really great novels.
SO often does the casual chain of in
evitable consequence break and fail In
the dramatic type; SO often does some
lavorite parsonage. growing almost
too much alive. I'll away with the
plot. Fiction. especially English
fiction, is, as w all know. far more
distinguished by the creation OF great
characters than by the working out Of
great plots; and Thackeray's confess
sion that the trend Of his story often
depended on the mood of the morn
ing, he, in good humo.. being inclined
to make his characters do admirable
deeds, in a bad humor being tempted
to thrust them into villainy. may well
be considered the unspoken confer
sion Of many another great novelist
From the Atlantic.

The Inauguration by Queen Will
helmina of the museum and picture
gallery installed in the house occu-
pied by Rembrandt at Amsterdam
from 1859 to 1858, in the J~odenbree-
STRAIT, marks an interesting event in
art commemoration. Rembrandt
purchased the residence for $4,000
forms, and it was here that, in COM
panv with his wife, he passed the
happiest and at the same time the
most fertile years OF his life. The
house was sold in 1868 for 1900
forins and was subsequently divided
into two, until in 1906 a special
commission, Of which the famous
Dutch artist, Joseph l~sraels, was the
moving spirit, purchased the place
and had it restored and transformed
into a museum adorned with a large
number of Rembrandt's pictures.

Why BROWN IS SUCCEEDING
Meeting Helrsss Who spends $1,000 Z
Year on Hats, He MarrIss

Dr.. Bertha G. Downey, at a lunch-
con in Worcester, Mass, eloquently
pleaded for her tax on childless hus-
bands.
"There would be fewer childless
husbands if there were fewer extrav-
agant wives. Take the case of hats
alone. 1t is nothing for a woma to
decorate her hat with aigrettes and
paradise plumes worth $50 or $50.
Few men can afford aigrettes, para
disc plumes and children at the same
time.

Uncle SifnOn'S

l(Copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary
They called him the new manager,
because there had been three in the
place before him. 1t was the building
of a big embankment to create a lake
for a water supply for a town. Men
who work with pick and spade and
shovel on such tasks are of the rough
and ready class and seek to make
their own discipline.
When the third manager was liter
ally thrown out of camp by crop and
heels the position was offered to Bob
Kingsford, who had just graduated as
ia civil engineer and was looking
around for a job. The man who told
him of the place. and who had the in
I~fluence to put him there, was a Qua
ker and an old friend Of the family.
He came down to the city and looked
Bob over and asked:
Robert, hast thou ever handled

with a shade of anxiety in his tones.

yet If he is not possessed Of what the
