world and the trades as North Aineri-
can girls have and still consider, as a
rule, only the so-called protected lines
of work. They teach and sew and a
few have become typists and stenog-

The first American novel to win pop

said to have been James Fenimore
.Cooper's Spy" Cooper had to publish
1T at his own expense, as no American
publisher would accept it. 1t was
quickly translated into French, German
and Spanish. and Later was published
in thirty-four different places in Eu-
rope. Cooper translations are often
better literature than the original, as
the best elements of the story areS not
lost in translation and many stylistic
defects disappear in the hands of a
literary translator.
