too many manuscripts to be able to
write one worthy of publication.
Whenever wrote line would think
of the good books I had read and
know I could never equal them. Or I
would think of the bad ones and feel
my writing was in the same class. But
persevered and took for my first
theme the effect of money or lack of
it upon a charming and sensitive man.
The book had New York brownstone
front house setting"
Purse Strings" got some very good
reviews for first novel, and some
very good reviews for any novel. OF
it the New York Times said: For a
first novel Mrs. Stern's style Is singu-
larly natural and uncongested. She
wastes no words, her dialogue is ex-
cellent, her feeling for the period of
which she writes most understanding. I"
The book was written in nine weeks
of concentrated work.
Mrs. Stern believes her experience
as reader" in publishing house
was invaluble in writing this first
book
Thousands of manuscripts passed
through my hands," she explained,
"and on every one Of them I had to
write a critical analysis and report.
I was compelled, therefore, to crystal
lie my literary opinions, to anlyze
subject matter and technique; in
short, to recognize the difference be-
tween good and bad writing. I Learned
what to avoid, and when I sat down
to write myself, sought to avoid
dullness, verbosity. long descriptions
and explanations that might better
have been given the readers in action
or dialogue.
"Of course do not mean to pre-
clude, by this, psychological or mental
subtleties. I simply had learned that
one of the chief defects of mediocre
and unpublishable manuscripts was
that they fail to vitalize characters
and situations for the readers, telling
them what they ought to be, raher
than creating them"
MRS. STERN wrote her second
novel, lust to prove I could"
She did not want to be counted among
those marked by beginners luck"
So she set to work on q book later
published under the title Scarlet
Heels" Friendship with certain mem
bers Of French nobility in New York
and q desire to picture a completely
different background from that of
her first novel, led Mrs. Stern to in
terest herself in development of
character who would be the product
of an eighteenth century French back
ground, seeking adjustment in the
twentieth century in the new world.
The action of the story takes one
through France and America, and
recounts the life Of Vicomte Gregory
de Grandbord, who yearned after the
symbolic scarlet heels" of Louis
Ouatorze. Like her first novel, this
book received some very excellent
reviews, as well as some mixed" COM
ments. =
It was shortly after the publication
Evening star., 1937-10-24

Of Scarlet Heels" that Mrs. Stern
became interested in lecturing. Groups
of women sought her out for her in
teresting, concise. and shrewd ap-
praisals of the literary works of the
day, and before she knew it she found
herself much in demand. She has
continued this interest in lecturing,
and plans to give series Of talks this
Winter for the benefit Of the scholar
ship fund of Green Acres School,
where her daughter Nicky attends, in
Takoma Park.
Commenting upon the changing in
terests of women today, Mrs. Stern
said: 1T is very interesting to notice
how viewpoints alter. When I first
started to lecture in 1928, women were
primarily interested in the literary
worth of any piece Of writing. They
wanted to hear about its style its
value as literary work. Today 1t Is
almost entirely different. Women are
primarily interested now in current
events, in the trend of the times. and
they want to hear a book reviewed,
not so much for its literary style as
for its contents, the information it
will give them Of the world in which
they live. They are vitally interested
in every changing mode Of thought or
events, and its significance SO far as
their own lives are concerned. I could
not hold the interest Of a group OF
women today or of any organization
with the literary talks I gave in 1928.
1t is what is going on that counts
now.
And for that reason. now discuss
current books in their relation to cur
rent life.''
THIS versatile and energetic young
woman has other interests as well.
She is very enthusiastic, for one thing,
about writing magazine articles and
has sold many to periodicals. Il like
to write magazine or newspaper arti-
cles," she declares, because when
you have written a really good one
you have accomplished something.
You have to do research to write arti-

have to work for results. Factual writ
ing fascinates me because of this ne
cessity for digging and application, and
as for writing, in my opinion it Is
more difficult to turn out q readable
factual article than . novel. Every
word must count, and the picture
must be clear. intend to give more
and more time to such writing In the
future"
After the publication of her second
novel there existed an interval for
Mrs. Stern in which she did little or
no writing. when you talk your
self out you don't write" she believes.
and as she was busy with lecturing
this proved true in her own case.
But in August, 1885, another book OF
hers was published. Under the title OF
Escape From Youth" it had originally
been written as Elbow Room" and
had been rewritten, several times be-
fore 1t finally appeared In print, pub
lihed by Coward MoCann.

"It was three-quarters of an hour

law ever fit into our family better
in the future?

that the year of 1887 holds much
greater profits in store for you in
your present enterprise. DO not give

you had anticipated. Through will
power and perseverance you will
win out In the end.
Miss D. H. B. Will the person that
I now have In mind marry me?

ing of changing locations in my
business. Do you believe this Is the
best time for me to do so?

mer months, therefore, it would be
to your advantage to make this
change before your busy season
starts. This is denoted to be q very

wife and I. What can we do to
make them take more responsible
tiles in life?
AIS. Sir; you have always been
very lenient with your children, not
only in making them obey you, but
also in money matters. 1t would be
to their own advantage IL you would
cut each allowance, and then IL
they want more money make them
do some work around the house to
earn 1t. This will also teach them
the full value Of morley.
Mr.. T. M. G. How will my new
business transaction turn out? Did
I do the correct thing in regards
to this deal?
Ans. Am very pleased to write
that you used very good judgment

with partner as you did have.

Makes Friends Through
Work

Mr.. U. S. B. have recently NOV
ed to this city to work. How can I
make friends and not be SO lonely?
Ans. My chart denotes that by
you yourself being more cOngenial
with your fellow workers you will be
accepted in their social functions.
Your wife has very pleasing per-
sonaIity, and you will both secure
many new friends through your
connection in this firm.
Mr.. Edward j. G. Will I regain
the position which I lost?
Ans. My friends. I see some things
connected with this subject which
will have to be overcome before you
can expect to be reinstated with
this firm. They are too personal TO
put i'm my columns. therefore, sug-
gest that you send for a Special
Reading and receive answers to two
of your questions by mail.
Mrs. E. 8. My hubsand and have
always tried to give our son the cor
rect education, but he Is now taking
advantage of a good thing. What
can we do to help him overcome
this fault?
Ans. My sincere advice is that
next fall when 1t comes time for
your son to return to college you
only pay his tuition. Make him
work for his room and board. This
will make him understand that
there is more to going to college
than just spending your hard
earned money to have a good time.
Also this will make him realize that
he is in college to secure an edu-
catioI;, and he will study harder In
the future.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-09

Mr.. Anthony B. F. What will my
future be pertaining to work?
Ans. My calculations shows that
you are now working on new posi-
ton for the w. p. A., in the capac-
ity of foreman. Sir: you are cap
able Of handling this work very
satisfactorily IL you will only place
more confidence in yourself. Do so
and you will be well pleased with
the outcome and your success.
Mrs. G. j. r. Mr.. Ell Haren, please
tell me what is causing my daugh-
ter to act the way she is now?
Ans. My science reveals that your
daughter was to be married around
the latter part Of last year, but her
boy friend broke Off the engage
ment. She is deeply in love with
this young man, and due to her
sorrow has become dissatisfied and
not interested in anything. / sug-
gest that you send her away for q
short vacation. Whei; she returns
she will have formed a different
opinion about this affair.
Mrs. B. r. T. Would it be ad-
visable for me to give up my work
now, and let my husband support
me?
Ans. Your husband will never be
able to repay you for the kindness
which you have extended to him
during his financial distress. He is
now earning CROUCH salary to pro-
vide for you very comfortably
therefore, it is my suggestion that
you quit working and take over the
sole duties of a wife.

will be old enough to gain admit
lance to a school. BY that time her
father will have an income large
enough to provide for her amply.
Mrs. F. T. M. Will my father con-
sent to come and live with me as I
have requested him to do?
Ans. He will never make his per-
manent home with you. 1t would
hurt him too much to give up his
own home, even though your
mother Is rot with him any more.
Do not try TO force him to do this,
but permit him to live the last few
years Of his life as he desires to.
Lucille M. M, Plantsville, Conn.
Will my father be promoted in his
job?
Ans. My chart shows your father
now connected with very reputa-
bic organization aid through his

my thought that the year Of 1887
will bring forth much greater sal
airy.
Mr.. s. M. G. have some real
estate which I would like to sell.
Would you advise me to do so now?
Ans. 1t is indicated that you
should not dispose Of any Of your
real estate investments now. My
advice is to wait for approximately
another four or five months before
taking any definite action i'm this
affair.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-01-09
Legal Action Unadvisable

Mr.. r. G. L. am now planning
to sue a person for back payment
on q purchase which they made
from me. Do you think this the adj
visable thing to do?
Ans. The party in question I am
sure has explained their financial
status to you very thoroughly. They
are honest aid will pay as soon as
they possibly can. You will gain
nothing through litigation.
Mrs. w. M. A. Could my husband
do anything with the invention that
he Is now working on?
Ans. No financial gain will be de-
rived through this channel unless
your husband obtains legal rights TO
same. Then the best course for him
to follow would be to sell IL to an
Organization for manufacturing.
The royalties that he will obtain
from said invention will prove very
pleasing in every respect.

Sister Causes Trouble
in Home

Mr.. s. I. r. My sister has been
living with my wife and for the
past few months, but things are not
very satisfactory. What can do to
bring more peace and happiness In
our home?
Ans. My frieEd, the only way you
will ever be happy living with your
wife is to have your sister leave.
She has very selfish and domin-
eering nature. When she first came
to live with you she was grateful
for your kindness, but now she is
becoming permanent fixture, and
trying to tell your wife how she
should operate her own home. You
know that no happiness will ever
come through this connection. Have
her leave Immediately. :. go. :. =.

find you to be widower at the
present time and there is marriage
indicated for you cgain, however,
this is lot shown to take place dur
ing the year Of 1881. My sugges.
ton is for you to give your entire
attention to your work for the next
few months and not think Of this
subject seriously now.
Miss P. 8. My brother and ] are
the sole support of our family, but
he recently lost his Job. Will he
find another one soon?
Ans. My deductiois shows that
your brother will receive the posi-
ton which he applied for last week.
This job will be q much better one
than that which he recently lost.
More opportunities are in store for
him for future success through his
new connection.
