book now fills me with reverence-even with

The easiest part of making book is writing
it. Don't let authors fool you on that. Some
times meet fellow writer's who look all hag-

three months on my new book" OF course
they have. That is their business. What they.
have really been doing is enjoying themselves
There is nothing so exciting and exhilarating
as creative work. And it is SO free, SO un-
hampered by outside conditions and sordid
things like shops and stockyards and stock
markets, which oppress other kinds Of bust

When it is over the author suffers reaction
and, being human, likes to glorify himself a

THE makers of sports clothes are
l. having their innings, for their
products were never in so great de-
mand. One need not be at all ath-
letic to be properly attired in sports
suits and to benefit by their lively
charm; it is enough to look on at
sports and dress to suit environment.
Flannel has been added to the list of
materials for summer sports clothes,
giving the designers a fine medium for
skirts and suits. Styles point to
stripes, either narrow or broad, and to
barred patterns, both often in combi-
nation with plain cloths. Color combi-
nations are very fine, but black and
white are smartest of all.
