Fleming Wilson was $25 for short
story that he submitted to Mlnsey's
Magazine. The most significant
thing that H. C. Witwer remembers
about his maiden effort was its
title, which was "The Come Back"
That is just what the story did
from the thirty-odd magazines to
which it was submitted.
ELSEWHERE in this issue OF the
IL book section appears the sec
ond installment of What Remains
OF Dickens's London" in the
Literary Pilgrimages at Home and
Abroad series. The installment
deals with the Strand. the Temple
and the Law Courts, which Dickens
pilloried in BLEAK House" which
introduced the immortal case Of
Jarndyce versus Jarndyce. Some
years ago a tangled case came up ip
the Philadelphia courts. One of the
lawyers retained remarked to a col
league that it was as complicated
as the case of Jarndyce versus Jarn-
dyce. The colleague, not over strong
in literary allusion, looked puzzled
but said nothing. 1t was week
later before he broke silence in the
matter. Then he said: Il have
gone through the court records of
the State of Pennsylvania for the
last twenty years and l can find
nothing about that case of Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce."

In regard to the English woman's
present fad of smoking pipe, w.
L. George, who recently returned to
London, writes: why shouldn't
women smoke pipes? They're more
convenient than cigarette, which
cne always has to flick and which is
always falling on things. The Turk
ish women smoke pipes all day long,
and they are the most feminine
women in the world. Smoking is
soothing thing = every woman
knows that the best time to ask her
husband for new hat is when he
is smoking. And it's quite possible
that the woman's pipe will become
the pipe of peace, for two pipes in
the home are better than one. l
might give you private detail:
Ursula Trent smokes pipe, al
though l didn't mention 1t in the

Drifting into literature quite by
accident after he was 80, Algernon
Blackwood's past adventures fur
njshed him unlimited material upon
which to draw. He was born in
1869, the second son of Sir Steven
son Blackwood, K. c. B., gentleman
usher to Queen Victoria, and Sgd
ney, widowed Duchess of Manches-
ter. His father was religious ia
natic, and Algernon was reared in
an atmosphere so excessively pietis-
tic that revolt against the narrow
ress of miserable sinner religion
came to him in his pinafore days.
AS youth he was sent to Mora
Wan mission seminary in Germany.
where he remained for two years.
Then a course at the University Of
Edinburgh followed, and at the age
CT 20 was packed off to Canada to
learn dairy farming and shift for
himself.
