RUPERT HUGHES

first met Rupert Hughes sew
eral years ago. / sat next to him
at a dinner. MIR. Hughes was then,
as now. very u In the lime
light. But Mr.. Hughes did not talk
at all about his own work.. He
asked me about mine, and told of
how, once, when he was an editor,
he had cut an authors story In a
moment of stress to fill an exact
Ing space, and how that author
had minded. His feeling still,
though this had happened years
before. was one OF real regret for
that authors chagrin.
1t is that quality OF understand
ing the other fellows feelings that
gives him such a large hold on the
American public.
l asked him last winter when he
first began to write, and he said
at the age OF seven and that he
had been It 1t ever since. A short
time after he left Yale he had six
months experience on a newspa-
per. After that he had been an
editor on various magazines until a
little more than ten years ago, but
hat during those editorial years
he had done a great amount of
writing Mt night
His output has been enormous.
1t is impossible to chronicle all OF
his successes In short stories, nov

is ais the author OF a musical

that one man could do so much!
And yet he u Intensely Interested

the glow of a glaze, yet the aura of a
