WILLARD GIVES RULE FOR

Daniel Willard, the great railroad

and Mr.. Willard says:

be-a series Of letters written 10

There are several facts which

ITCHY OF Christine. In the first place
the nature OF the arrangements
made for the publication Of Christine
would indicate that a real life story
was being revealed. The manuscript
was presented TO the publishers by a
lawyer, who stipulated that the au-
thor should remain unknown and
that all communications should be
sent through him as her represent
ative. As has been suggested by one
or two critics who have known the
circumsts noes and who believe i'm the
genuineness Of the narrative q very
good reason for such a procedure
might be that the author felt that
Christine was so very personal in
tone. thai il touched her own life so
closely and so deeply. that the only

4 second and even more weighty
argument that Christine is not fiction
lies in The Introduction. where the
author justifies the publication OF the
private letters which follow In these
words.

and conspicuous scholarship in col
