against. failure, and she put up mag
nificent fight.
Day after day she sent out her
manuscripts. Day after day they came
back. The cost of postage became an
item that troubled her dreams.
Thirty Dollars for Story
At last, when her outlook was
blackest, she sold story to one of
the cheaper magazines and received
check for thirty dollars in payment.
Then she net helpful and inspir-
ing editor. He gave her constructive
criticism. Good though this was, it
was difficult for Miss Hurst to profit
by it. Theoretically, she is open to
suggestions. Practically, it is almost
impossible for her to change anything
she has written.
However, this editor did more than
suggest. He bought her stories-one,
then another, and a dozen, perhaps,
in all. Her prices scared to sixty
dollars for story Toward the end
of her second winter in New York, her
earnings averaged tbout thirty dollars
a month.
Then the first ''big magazine" be-
gan to nibble, hesitated, backed, and
finally swallowed story. It's editor
came to see her.
'eWhat was your idea of the price
for this ?" he asked, after they had
chatted while, .
'I will leave that to you," she said
family.
Success at Last
"Then suppose we say three hum
dred dollars" suggested the editor.
He misunderstood her stunned 81
lence.
"Of course, we expect to pay more
than that for your next story" ne
added hurriedly.
Fannie Hurst's struggles were over.
From three hundred dollars for
story her price rose within year to
five hundred, then to eight hundred,
to thousand, to twelve hundred, and
recently she signed three years con-
tract with the Cosmopolitan Magazine
at eighteen hundred dollars per story.
For her material Miss Hurst has
worked in department stores, as a
waitress, and has gone across the
Atlantic as steerage passenger.
Among her latest books are "Humor-
esque" and "Gaslight Sonatas."
She is unquestionably at her best in
the stories Of her own people.
