the information that Dickens had already
made use of that occupation in connection
with a character of somewhat similar
nature. Mr.. Fitzgerald's liable of Con-
tents slightly and modestly touches the
edge of that idea. 1t is likely to find
many imitators.
TN connection with the first story of
the collection, "The Jelly-Bean," Mr..
Fitzgerald informs us that, written under
strange circumstances shortly after his
first novel was published, it was the first
tale in which he had collaboration, for
finding that he was unable to handle

all the stories of "Tales of the Jazz Age"
yet it was the one that cost him the least
travail and gave him the most amuse-
ment. 1t was written during one day in
New Orleans, begun at in the morning

NNTAY DAY" relates series of events

of 1919 Each of the three events,

related, except by the general hysteria
of that spring which inaugurated the Age
of Jazz, but in my story 1 have tried,
unsuccessfully, fear, to weave them into
pattern-a pattern which would give
the effect of those months in New York

Benjamin Button was inspired by a re-
mark of Mark Twain to the effect that
it was a pity that the best part of life
came at the beginning and the worst part
at the end Some time after he had fin

almost identical plot in Samuel Buffers

THE Figaro of Paris has recently been
L making a feature of an inquiry as
to whether or not an author should have
another occupation. The inquiry was
suggested by two articles that had pre-
viously appeared on the subject, one by
]. H. Rosny, who argued that to earn a
living by the pen an author must write
entirely too much and in consequence
turn out inferior work, and the other by
Henri Duvernois, whose contention that
an author must be an author and nothing
else was summed up in the line: Il can
not see Balzac as bank employe de-
voting his leisure hours to the construc-
tion of the Human Comedy" The
Figaro has been inviting other men and
women of letters to express their opinions
on the subject. M. Brieux said: 81 do
not believe that writer should have
another meter, but think that he may"
Marcel Provost said: "I think that the
other meter may be necessary, but I
do not think it desirable"
HENRI BORDEAUX said: Literature
IL Is not meter. The proof is that
there have been many fine books written
by amateurs. The material life of a
writer should not be dependent upon the
fate Of his books. He can easily add one
Of those prefessionos that border on
letters-that of journalist or the pro-
fessor or the publisher-until he has
won financial independence" Marcelle
Tinayre said: II think that writer at
the beginning is very fortunate to have
an occupation that assures the daily
bread He will work in independence
and gain in dignity, but much energy is
needed to carry on the double task"
Paul Geraldy said: Writing is not a
meter and never will be one. Does that
mean that an author should have another
occupation? Not at all. l demand for
him entire liberty of mind and body.
But do not think that such liberty is an
enviable privilege. Sound heart and brain
are needed not to abuse it. The true gift
of writing is the gift of living above
tasks"
CEBASTIEN- CHARLES LECONTE in
~ his reply to the Figaro QUESTIONABLE
sweepingly surveys the past. He says:
Authors have always been dependent
upon another meter; with such excep-
tions as Byron, born lord; Baudelaire,
born an heir (too soon); Flaubert, born
with competence (although Flaubert,
like Musset, became librarian in vague
sort of way); Victor Hugo, pensioned,
like Racine, for his first odes. These
authors were the fortunate ones. They
alone could give of their best. Imagine
Flaubert or Hugo as bureaucratic under
lings or grocery clerks, or Byron clark
in the city, or the Goncourts transcribing
like Bouvard and Pecuchet! Lamartine
was diplomat, Vigny an officer. Dumas
the secretary of the Due d'Orleans, but
they escaped from these tasks with sue
cess and first success. Stendhal had to
remain vice-consul and Huysmans an
assistant manager in an Office But who
soever has the noble ambition to express
himself fully in book must, even though
he go hungry, partially escape from the
double task"

son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Roberts also
of the East End. The two boys disap-
peared from tie home sometime dur

The parents report that both of the
bays went - bed at their homes
Thursday might at the usual hour.
There was huthing unusual happened
before they retired nor did either of
the boys let drop the slightest hint
that they intended to go away for q
trip. When the parents of both BOYS
awakened Friday morning and called
their sons for breakfast, there was no
answer and an investigation disclosed
that they were not in their bed rooms.
Investigations in the wardrobes dis
closed that each boy had taken a suit
| case and each boy had taken both his
working clothes and his best clothes.
| Both the police and the parents
think the boys left sometime during
the night for trip to some nearby
city and at the request OF the parents
of the boys, Chief of Police Carl Car
penter has communicated with the DO
lice departments at Huntington, Leg
ington, Frankfort and Portsmouth, in
all of which cities the boys have rela-
tives, asking that the parents here be
notified if the boys are located in any

Mr.. Charles Rhomiller Sells "The

pany and Limestone Greek
VIII BE Changed.

II became known Friday that the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company
has purchase Of Mr. Charles Rhomil-
ler his attractive home near Lime
stone bridge. formerly the w. w. Ball
homestead and known as THE Point"
For some time the Limestone Creek
near its mouth has been cutting away
under the C. a. O.'s tresle and endan-
gering this long structure. The rail-
way company has spent much money
in piling stone about the abuttments
OF their long trestle but this had had
little effect upon the constant wash
ings of the creek and the situation has
become rather serious and most costly
TO the railway company.
II has been known for some time
that the railway company was endeav-
orinG to get this property which blocks
the creeks straight course to the river
and defects the stream in the direc-
tion OF the companys property II Is
supposed that the company will imme-
diately cut n course for the creek di-
rectly through this property to the
river. thereby turning the course OF
the course OF the creek from its prop
erty.
II is understood that Mr.. Rhomiller
received a very fancy price for the
property. The change in the creek =
course will probably be made without
material injury TO the attractive home
stead.

WIFE OF MILLIONAIRE BANKER
WINS IN LONG FOUGHT CASE
Stillman Case FavOrs the Wife
Divorce Refused Banker.

Poughkeepie, n. Y, Sept. 29.-Mrs.
Fih Potter Stillman won the decision
today in her divorce action against
James A. Stillman. millionaire and for
mer president OF the National City
Bank
In the decision, filed by Referee
Daniel ]. Gleason in the County Court
at Carmel, N. Y, the following points
are made:
The proof does not show that Mrs.
Stillman was guilty of misconduct
with Fred Beauvis, Indian guide.
The infant, Guy Stillman, is the son
OF Stillman and Mrs. tSillman, and not
the child of Fred Beauvis.
Stillman was guilty Of misconduct
with Helen Leeds and is the father OF
her two children.
The referee decided there was not
sufficient proof to show that Stillman
also associated with two other women
known as Helen and Clara"
