woman-shc served with distinction
and her voice was heard frequently.
In a few short weeks wherein she
has had an opportunity to show her
stuff in Washington, the New York
Ruth has distinguished herself prin-
cipally by her fight against the
increase in the sugar tariff as pro-
posed in the bill passed by the
house.
"The sugar industry in this coun-
try cannot possibly expand to a
point where il can wen begin to sup
ply our needs" she says. "The cane
growers are limited by climate and
the beet growers by the employment
problem"
Mrs. Mccormick is the daughter
of Mark Hanna and the widow Of
the late Senator Mcdill Mccormick,
and Mrs. Owen is the daughter of
William Jennings Bryan. but al
though both have long been identi-
fled by the relationships neither is
here on that basis. Both went out
and won nomination and election on
their own merits. Neither stepped
into a husbands or a fathers seat.
Both are capable women and both
were in public life long before they
ran for congress. Now each is stand
ing on her own feet and neither is
known first Of all as the daughter Of
Hanna or Bryan.
Faces a Real Battle
The prestige and ability Of both
these women is best indicated by
Mrs. McCormick's candidacy for the
senate and the persistent and UNI
denied report that Mrs. Owen is CO.
ing to her own when the
time comes.
Mrs. NlcCormick's fight comes
first. Mrs. Owen can't run until
1882, which is when the term Of
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher Of Flor
ida expires.
Mrs. Mccormick has a real battle
on her hands. but she has already
achieved more in political struggle
than any other woman because she is
the only congresswoman -at-largc,
which means that her candidacy
went before the whole state Of ILL
nois instead of only a single con-
gressional district.
Mrs. Owen is engaged in selling
herself to Florida by giving a DEM
onstration of super-efficiency in her
own district. Any congressman's
job depends Importantly on keeping
his own constituents happy. and Mrs.
Owen, by dint of personal effort
here, a summer program of speeches
and some unique arrangements for
keeping in constant contact with
them, ought soon to have hers in a
state of ecstacy.

Washington, July S-One thing
The special session Of congress has
demonstrated is that women
members are standing more ana
more on their own feet. Widow
hood becomes less a requirement for
entry.
Emphasis to these facts has been
provided especially by the ladies'
known as the "Three Ruths." Mrs.
Mccormick of Illinois. Mrs. Owen
Of Florida and Mrs. Pratt Of New
York.
Observation Of these ladies in ac-
ton leads inescapably to the conclu-
sion that the number Of congress
women will increase gradually and
that it is no great jump for promi-
nent rome already actually en-
gagged in public life. jeanette Ran
kin, the first congresswonlan, was
not a widow, and there is every rea-
son to believe that there will be
many nor single ladies along.
Didn't Need Her Husband
Before the "Three Ruths" came
here there was but one congress
woman whose husband had not pre-
coded her in the house. That was
Mrs. Mary Norton Of New Jersey,
who for years before her election
had served actively in Democratic
state politics and whose husband is
q business man. Mrs. Katherine
Langley of Kentucky was no widow,
either, but she had succeeded her
husband when his seat was vacated
by his sentence to the Atlanta peni-
tertiary.
The widows of congress. of course,
have given satisfaction to their con
stituents and seem likely to remain
here indefinitely, except for Mrs.
Pearl Oldfield, who is understood to
plan to retire. One only points out
that the deaths Of their husbands
presented an opportunity for coming
here which they would not otherwise
have had and so considerably swelled
the number Of women members in
the last congress.
OF the "Three Ruths," Mrs. Pratt
is the only one whose husband or
father did not make a name for him
self in national politics. Mrs. Pratt
turned to politics on her own. She
had several children, but was
wealthy enough to afford the time.
She became All associate Republican
leader in the Fifteenth assembly dis
trict Of New York City and in 1925
became the first woman to be elected
to the New York board of alder
men. As an alderman-or alder

good soldering and good statecraft. The man
who wrote the bauble, reputation didn't write
his plays to get himself talked about or to be
regarded an important person. OF course,
he knew what he'd done when he finished writ
ing to be or not TO be- but he didn't care
much whether or not it would win him the
Pulitzer prize for that years best play. AS
matter of fact, he wouldn't have been award
ed the prize; Jonson would have got it, pos
sibly, If he'd produced a play just then and
the Pulitzer prize had been cotemporaneous.
ITO write well 1t is necessary to forget ones
self in ones work. That's an aged stencil
phrase with whole lot of meaning to it. It's
the work itself that must count--the doing Of
it well-nothing else. Nothing else at all.
"Of course, youth can't forget itself entirely

cupied with himself-but it is necessary for
him to work for the works sake and not for

Style is to the writer what colors and brll1h-
work are to the painter"
What, in that case, would you advise for
young writer who wished to show good brush
work and clean colors'?"
Mr.. Harrington gave this question some mo-
ments of study, but when he finally answered
his reply was as definite as any young writer
could possibly desire:
For questions of English usage, I'd refer
him to The Kings English" he said, men
tioning that little volume published by the
Oxford Press and filled to overlooking with
rules and examples for correct word use
Though it is too pedantical and puristic,' Mr..
Harrington admitted, lit is worth reading and
re-reading.
For beautiful English, I'd recommend that
he read George Moore, who writes masterfully,
and Howells and Lafcadio Hearn, and, of course.
Stevenson, whose one fault is that his writing
is SO deliberately excellent that it calls atten-
ton to itself. That is, it becomes not life and
color, but ink. I'd read Mark Twain, too es-
pecially his literary sketches, essays and criti-
cism. There are, in fact, a dozen or more books
that are distinctly worth the attention of any
writer who wishes to develop beautiful style"
but that sounds more like reading pro-
gram than writing one" suggested.

GWHAT specific remedies would you
suggest to the new writer who has
reached only the first stage-tle stage
of writing rather blindiy and aimlessly,
without knowledge of his audience or
any great amount of academic prepare
ton? What faults would you warn him
against in the work of popular writer
and what cure would you suggest for
that up against stone wall feeling
that comes to so many beginners after
a story is already started2" then asked.
The answer to the first part of that
compound--or complex question was:
I'D advise him to write for the reader
that is, for the severest critic within
himself-but considered not as himself.
but as total stranger. Don't write at
an editor-forget editors. Chats the
way to make them remember you.) Any
story is in the wrorg feeling If it makes
the reader feel that he is reading. That
Is, he is prodded upon the very point
that you should make him forget. You
want him to see pictures and to feel
not to realize that only print is before
him and that. behind the print there Is
writing and that what he is getting Is a
made-up yarn-fiction.
ITO make the reader see pictures.
however, it is necessary to choose words
that haven't been worked threadbare.
For instance, describing hero as llay-
ing straight, clean-cut features has
been done so often that it doesn't make
a picture to the reader any longer. It
may, of course. to the writer, for he has
face before his imagination, but to
the reader It is only some printed words.
If the writer had said his hero looked
like Henry Ford or Edison or Napoleon,
the reader would know at once what he
had in mind. eff that can't be done.
there is need for q vocabulary large
enough to supply some new and less
oyerworked phrase that really paints
picture. Straight, uncompromising
mouths, too, have been seen in stories
pretty often. think women, in par
ticular, like 'em.
II notice, too. in modern writer's a
tendency to be a little too detailed about
embraces and caresses. An important
phase of taste is involved here, I think.
Howells correctly pointed out that too
much detail (and also a certain vocabu-
lary) employed in the description OF

little like those whose endearments on park
bench sometimes offend us. There is curious
connection between lovers in book and lovers
on park bench, in that both do their love-
making in public.
There's tendency. too. among beginning
writer's = as any editor testify - to base
stories upon things that really happened It's
risky to take an actual episode as whole story
even when it is written with some embroidery.
The actual happening may be key or impetus
to story, but it's extremely exceptional for
it to be a true story.
So HEN there's the writer who revels in words
when he comes to an emotional narrative
passage. 1t isn't wise, author, to tell too
much at moments of emotion or action on cli-
max. Let the thing be told first by what your
characters say, and second, by what they do.

mouth getting full of words, cut Don't be
afraid of terseness; leave great deal to the
reader.
To remedy story that is overwritten, I'd
suggest that the writer imagine himself telling
it-vocally--to O man who has an engagement,
and suspect the man of not liking TIE sound
of the story tellers voice. Suppose you were
the teller, and remember that you've got to hold
