we outline the events of the tale here.
But the motivation is properly subject for
discussion. Gibbs JOsselyn'S father has
married young and beautiful woman. It
is she who eventually comes between Gibbs
and Ellen. The affair is critical but by
no means hopeless, and Mrs. Norris does
not permit it to become so; a very honest
thing of her. For these are cultivated and
reasonable beings, these four of her
drama, and the melodramatic is not the
sort of thing they would enter upon. The
crisis in their lives is rather fairly on the
way to be Strengthened out when the
senior Josselyn is inexplieably murdered.
A Subplot of Mystery. e.
The murder followed a quarrel between
father and son. The interest III the .eriti-

ing of The book is satisfactory and has
the accent of reality. The solution of the
murder mystery is startling, adroit and
convincing.
And the whole book is invested with
the curious quality that Kathleen Norris
has of writing about actual people and

the sense of this stronger than in jesse

Hyes-but all the rest must be left to him
TO grasp nnaided! The real reason why
no story can have a moral is that every
reader must find his own moral, even if
each finds the same one!
Her Early Life.
Kathleen Norris was the daughter Of
James A. Thompson of San Francisco.
The father was San Franciscan of long
residence, and twice served as president
of the famous Bohemian Club. At the
time Of his death he was manager of the
DOnohoe-keliy Bank. Kathleen was the
second child in a family of six-three
boys and three girls. Mr.. Thompson
would not send his children to school and
they were taught at home, with an occa-
sional governess for language study. In
1899 the family moved to Mill Valley,
across San Francisco Bay, and Tree
haven, bungalow in a beautiful valley
at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, became
the home.
lNdthiCCh "do Clucot SIll. nv 10
she was to "come out" in San Fran
cisco. A house had been taken in the city
for the winter. Gowns had been ordered
and "the eotillons joined" when Mrs.
Thompson was stricken with pneumonia
and died. Her husband died broken
hearted in less than a month afterward
Misfortunes eliminating just after the
fathers death left the six children "des-
titute, with the exception of the family
home in Mill Valley, too large and too far
from the city to be negotiable asset"
The children had never known what it
was to want money. They behaved bravely.
Theeldest boy already had small job.
Kathleen got work at once with a hard
ware house at $50 month. Her fifteen
year-old sister took three pupils whose
fees barely paid for her Communication ticket
and car fares The total of the little fam
The sun., 1918-09-29

ily's income was about $50 month Their
one terror-never realized-was of debt. !"
Kathleen and her sister came home
from the days work to get the dinner,
make beds, wash dishes and scrub the
kitchen floor at midnight. Kathleen, who
had been a favorite story teller all her life,
began to wonder if she could not make
money by writing. In the fall Of 1908
she had attempted to take years course
in the English department of the Eniver-
sity of California and had to give it up
because the family needed her. In 1904,
at the age of %, she made her first sue
cessful effort. The San Francisco Argo-
maui paid her $3.50 for a story called
The Colonel aud the Lady. Mrs. Norris
was then librarian in the Mechanics Ii
brary and had more time to try writing.
Such success as she had was not very
encouraging. She left the library to 60
into settlement work and for several
months strove "to reanimate an already
defunet settlement house." She got her
feet on the right path at last by becom-
ing society editor of the San Francisco
Erening Bulletin. A few months later
she became reporter for the San Fran
cisco CaH, where she worked for two years.
Marriage and Success.
In April, 1909, Kathleen Thompson
was married to Charles Gilman Norris,
younger brother Of Frank Norris, the
author of McTedgue and The Pit. Charles
Norris, now Capt. Charles Norris, U. S.
A., is himself novelist, the author of
The 4mateur and Salt, The Education Of
Griffith adams. Capt. and Mrs. Norris,
whose home is at Port Washington, Long
Island, n. Y, have a son named after his
distinguished uncle, Frank Norris.
Life in New York after her marriage
reawakened in Mrs. Norris the desire to
write. She started with short stories and
had many failures. Finally the Atlantic
took one. S. S. Mcclure read it and
asked for several. He got them-and then
it appeared as if stories by Kathleen
Norris grew on every table of contents.
Mother was written in a prize story
contest, but ran too long and was laid
aside by the author in favor of another.
When Mother did appear in a magazine
five publishers besought Mrs. Norris to
enlarge it sufficiently to make book. She
did the particularly tieklish job and did
it well. After that there is nothing to
record except her successive and success
full novels.
