Authors and Their Books.

At the dinner given by the Harper
people to Arnold Bennett just before
he sailed for England. dinner which
was attended by many of the literary
lights that live in or near New York.
a discussion came up as to whether
in this day Of the rapid output OF lit.
erature man could live by his books.
Mr.. Bennett said he was sure that
many authors could, and he instanced
the case OF young author he knew
in London who was SO hard up that
he could not get enough cash to pay
for his dinner.
An idea struck him. He visited his
publishers and there asked for six
copies OF his latest novel, which was
priced at Ave shillings, ordering that
the books be charged to his account
This was done. With the volumes
under his arm he visited a second
hand book dealer In the nsighbor
hood. and, as the books were perfect
ly new, he managed to sell the six
OF them for ten shillings, with which
sum he had rafting good dinner
and an evening at the theater.
ooh, yes said Mr.. Bennett, "ever
the humblest author can live by his
books--if he has published any
books"

The bill amended to make II In
cumbent on candidates to file state
ment of all campaign expenses.

out that our sociological education
(begun at Cairo) would have yawn-
ing gap in it without an advanced
course in hula And then the spinal
column of the H. P. c. became anky-
losed and the dance remained on the
program.
And it wasn't 50 wicked after ALL
In fact, it was not wicked enough to
please the men down front, but it had
the genuine Hawaiian atmosphere
about it. A troop OF about dozen
girls could be dimly seen upon the
darkened stage as the curtain went up,
swaying and chanting to the music of
couple of tom-toms. Little by little
the light was turned on as the gentle
men in the front seats made signs of
Impotence, and then it could be seen
that the girls were young. dusky, good
looking, and misehievous.
The dance was directed by Madame
Puwahi, who was one of the retainers
of the court in the old Hawaiian days.
The years have left their impress upon
her handsome ard intelligent features,
but life is still in her blood and the
light in her eyes She had her heart
