HOW FANNIE HURST, POOR JEW.
ISL GIRL STRUGGLED TO FAME.

Eighteen hundred dollars for n short
story. That is the remarkable price
paid by the Cosmopolitan Magazine to

triumphed despite poverty and adver-
siiy. The trials and final success OF
Miss Hurst are described in bio
graphical sketch by Miss Elizabeth

from the latter at fifteen. At nineteen
she graduated from the Washington
University of st. Louis. Throughout
the time she wrote steadily, and wholly
without encouragement.

In the high school she developed a
burning ambition. The pupils published
a iournal-the High School News Fan
MES ambition was to have n story in
this journal For four years she spent
her free time writing toward this end.
In that entire period not one of her
stories was accepted by the High School
News
Toward the end of her first year in
the university. she wrote II short story
about shop girl. With characteristic
determination she sent it to the High
School News. 1t was accepted.
In the university, Miss Hurst's ex-
perience was almost as narrowing. She
herself was one of the editors of the
university magazine, Student Life. In
her editorial capacity, she promptly ac-
copied one of her own short stories.
After her graduation from the uni
vcrsity. Fannie's father and mother ad
vised her 10 teach.

Groundwork for Book

Charles Hanson Towne expects to

book about prohibition he has been

personally to sound the views of edit
ors and prominent citizens in Far
Western cities will be peculiarly in
teresting just at this time"
Mr.. Towne, by the way. is himself
an outspoken advocate of return of
light wines and beers. He is against
the saloon and believes it has vanished
permanently
Gone for good, in every sense of the
phrase" he declares. But the ma
