Belgian governmental authorities
to attend the Congress of Carlton

Rathenau, one Of the greatest of
German financiers, was the chief

about me as you please" La

ct encore La Puceller he exclaims.
For the love of God, or rather for
the love of yourself, send it to me-"
At laet Voltaire was softened. He
sent off a few fragments of La
Pucelle"-just enough to whet
Frederick's appetite-and he de-
clared himself reconciled. 81 have
loved you tenderly." he wrote in
March, 1749; Il have been angry

and actually love you madly."
WITHIN year Voltaire's situa-
w tion had undergone COM
plete change. Despite the friend
ship Of Nine. de Pompadour his
position at Versailles had become
almost as impossible as he had
pretended it had been in 1743.
Frederick repeated his invitation
and Voftaire did not refuse. But he
was careful to- make a very good
bargain. obliging the King to pay
for his journey. Arriving at Berlin
in July, 1850, he had rooms in the
royal palaces both at Berlin and
Potsdam, was made a Court Cham
berlain, and received the Order of
Merit, together with a pension Of
10000 francs year. These ar
rangements caused considerable
amusement at Paris, and street
hawkers went about the quays car
rying prints of voltaire dressed in
furs and crying: "voltaire the
Prussian! Six sous for the famous
Prussian!"

they came we are glad to see that
the excellent work of H. B. Fuller
has not been entirely forgotten, even
in Chicago. Hamlin Garland in his
recent "A Daughter of the Middle
Border" happily spoke of Fuller as
the man who in The Chevalier of
Pensieri-Vani' showed himself to
be the finest literary craftsman in
the West" Garland further de-
scribes him in the early Chicago
days as "a small, brown bearded
man Of "a, whose quick humor,
keen insight and unfailing interest
in all things literary made him a
caustic corrective of the bombast to
which our local reviewers were
sadly liable. Although a merciless
critic of Chicago he was a native
Of that city, and his comment on its
life had to be confronted with such
equanimity as our self-elected social
hierarchy could assume"

Jdlcr at an exceedingly interesting
period of London's literary history.
That was the period of the early
nineties. Certain men of letters
whom we now contemplate draping
themselves in their togas and ex-
pounding strange theories were
then only very industrious young
story spinners. Incidentally. they
were much more interesting that
way. 1t was about the time that
Mr.. Kipling wrote his tale "a Mat
ter of Fact" in which the Ameri-
can journalist Keller, having the
most amazing news story in the
world to sell. baked at visiting the
London Times because he felt sure
that he would find a bishop in the
once. There were no bishops in
the Idler Office. It was not that
kind Of an atmosphere.
MR.. BURGIN tells us that one
Au day there appeared In the
Jdler Office very tattered and
bibulous lady ("she said she was a
real lady. so / suppose she must
have been") and offered for sale
some vermin infested manuscript
which she had probably picked out
Of a neighboring dust bin. When
he declined to touch 1t, she said:
"All right, then. Lend me sixpence
to 60 to Paris with. There's
dear. good. kind. young man. Any
one can see from your noble face
now kindhearted you are" The
amount seemed so reasonable for
such long journey that the sub
editor let her have the sixpence
and she departed for Paris via the
public house around the corner.
Two hours later she came in again
and said Paris was so expensive
that she wanted another sixpence
to pay her return fare.
n N even more embarrassing Wis

was repeated. "or out go your
brains" II should be delighted to
do So" Mr.. Burgin explained (the
article was called eff Christ Came
to Fleet Street"). but you really
ought to take 1t to the Sporting
World. They've so much more in
fiuence in religious circles than we
have. Jimmy, look up the address
Of the Sporting World for this gen.
tleman." The visitor. appeased.
shook hands cordially and departed.
THERE are really Illuminating
i glimpses of personalities in
Mr.. Burgin's story. For example,
he tells US that once the Idler
wanted a poem by Swinburne. who
was jealously guarded by Theodore
Watts-Dunton. Some one suggested
that the surest way to get a poem
from Swinburne was to ask Watts
Dunton for one of his own and
then suggest Swinburne as an
afterthought. Watts Dun n"
says Mr.. Burgin, was a remark
able man, who, by dint of reclaim
ing great men from their vices and
living with them, had persuaded
himself that he also was a great
man. He was a great critic, but
he was not really great poet, and
William Sharp confessed to me
that he was much amused when
he interviewed both Watts -Dunton
and Swinburne at Putney, and
Watts Dunton insisted on being
photographed reading a book at a
window on the ground floor while
Swinburne did the same from a
window above"

Gissing spent long hours at work,
but his production was compare
lively small. More than half of
what he wrote went into the fire.
The first volume of one of his early
works was written seven times.
THE late Sir Walter Besant was
1 in the habit of giving his
morning to fiction work, and sat in
his study most days from 9 till
1890. Then he left his tale half
told and generally went into town
for lunch. His afternoon, until 5
or 6, was almost always given up to
the new Survey of London" Izrael
Zangwill does most of his work
away from London, but when in
town he writes at a large table in
his study, covered a foot deep with
litter. amid which each page of
copy" gets lost as soon as written.
Once the inevitable search was pro-
longed for fourteen hours. when it
was discovered that he had mad
vertently written on both sides of
sheet. When he can, Eden Phil
potts likes to write 1000 or 5000
words day. Short stories of plot
and intrigue are not difficult to him,
and have to be produced because
they are wanted; but the only fic-
tion he does with all his heart is
the novel Of character. In such
stories he is not happy until the
characters run away with him.
MIR. BURGIN also discusses the
AsA methods of women writer's.
or Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
he says: when her central figure
creates itself she knows that it will
go on its way to the end of its trag-
edy or comedy. and In spite of her.
The story seems to tell itself.
Nearly every story that Mrs. Flora
A. Steel has written has had its ORR
gin in something she has seen. For
instance, "The Potter's Thumb.
grew entirely from the figure of a
potter at work which she saw years
ago. In fact, she always works
through her eyes. "One day." saws
Mr.. Burgin. when l was lunching
with the late Mrs. Maxwell miss
Braddon), the world famous author
OF Lady Audley's Secret and an
enormous number of other novels.
she told me that she had resolved
in future to write only one novel a
year and to discontinue working in
the evening. She had an extraor-
binary range Of general reading
and vast amount of miscellaneous
facts at her finger tips.

The Telephone Girl.

Immediately after the roof of the
Knickerbocker theater in Washington
D. c., caved in under its weight OF
snow last month man who was stand
ing outside of the building went into
telephone booth and told Central
what had happened. The telephone
girl did the rest. This girl realized
the situation, communicated the in
formation to other members of the
office force, and within ten minutes
seventy-two physicians residing in the
Columbia exchange district, where
was located the theater, were told of
the disaster; every hospital and first
aid agency in the city was notified,
a report was made to the war depart
ment and to the municipal govern
ment offices, and the work of rescue
and of relief was almost instant. In
France the telephone girl proved her
courage and resourcefulness in war.
She had proved it long before under
other conditions of emergency and of
peril. In floods, in famine, in fire
and in riots the telephone girl has
showed the stuff that is in her. We
fear that we do not always remember
these things in our daily communica-
tons with central. Sometimes, how
ever, when we do think on them we
are sorry that we have blamed the
telephone girl for annoying things
beyond her control, such as the fact
that the telephone of friend is busy
when we want to talk to him, and that
perchance we are given the wrong
number when the fault lay not with
the telephone girls keenly 2ttuned ear
but with orr own aiumbling manner
of speech. We hope by this made
quate tribute that we have made
amends for somewhat frequent use
of hasty but really unmeant words.
