a Scandal Averted.

Little Gertrude had been very naughty
and had been severely slapped. first by
the nurse and then by mother, with q
promise Of another dose from father
when he came home.
She sat on the floor, her eyes filled
with angry tears. Suddenly she rose
with determined look upon her little
face, and seized her hat.
"Where are you going?" asked her
mother.
"Out to tell the family secrets to the
neighbours" said the child firmly.
But she didn't go.-Pittsburgh Chron-

A GREAT AUTHORS CREDO.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Story of His
Writing Methods.

interesting shop talk with Robert Lou
is Stevenson which occurred during q
long walk to Fontainebleau. AS we
tramped along under the shade of the
tall poplars he outlined to me the writ

his own methods of work.
"You painter chaps make lots OF
studies, don't your he exclaimed. "And
you don't frame them all and send
them to the salon, do you? You just
stick them up On the studio wall for q
bit, and presently you tear them uI
and make more. And you copy We
lasqusez and Rembrandt and Van Dyck
and Corot, and from each you learn
some little trick of the brush, some OBJ
scure little point in technic. And you
know very well that it is the knowl-
edge thus acquired that will enable you
later on to deliver your own message
with fine and confident bravado.
You are simply learning your meter.
And, believe me, mon cher, an artist in
any line without the meter is just a
blind man with stick. Now. in the
literary line / am simply doing what
you painter men are doing in the pic
torial line-learning the meter"
Eyes, but how do you work the
game?" / inquired. I'VE artists use
paint and canvas and brushes precise
ly as the masters did
"Wen, use pen and ink and paper
precisely as did the masters of the
pen," laughed Stevenson, ''only pen
Gil is quite good enough for me at pres
ent. Just now am making story a
la Balzac, with French plot, French
local color and every little touch and
detail as close to the old boy as can
possibly make it. And aren't bis

held up to nature more wonderful

is to study the masters. take my word
