There is no reason at all why you

you"
Alice looked thoughtful. She gazed
through the window. She studied
the floor. And at length her eyes
came to dwell upon the kind, smil-
ing and friendly countenance of
Glesca.
Said Alice: MY dear, you have
been honest and fair with me. 1,
too, have confession to make. 1
feel guilty and ashamed. The story
that l gave you to read was not
written by me. don't know who
the author IS. l clipped it haphaz-
ardly from magazine and typed
1t off before coming to the recep-
ton. You see, heretofore have mis-
understood famous authors. l had
made the remark that your stuff
wasn't so good compared with that
VI ISdl literary SenluSeS, ana tnaL
you probably wouldn't know good
story if you saw one-and I want
ed to prove that 1 was right"
Glesca smiled, a gracious smile.
''Thank you for telling me. I'm
so glad you decided it was the best
thing for you to do. For, you see,
1 knew all the time that your story
was a re-write, and, I'm ashamed
to admit, I led you on, hoping you'd
let me try and place it for you.
I'm so glad it turned out this way.
Now, I'm sure we can be the best
of friends"
Alice was frankly aghastl
"You knew it all the time! How
wonderful! Now I'm positive that I
was wrong in remarking that you
couldn't tell a good story from bad
one. My dear, I'm thrilled"
"In way" said Glesca, 'I'm
thrilled, too. For you see, the story
you clipped haphazardly from the
magazine happened to be one of
my stories!"
The guardian., 1941-08-02

she probably wouldn't know a good
story if she saw one.
Of course, Alice in no way be-
trayed this skepticism when Giles
ca was within earshot. In fact she
was, on the contrary, quite gushy
and complimentary.
However, as the evening pro-
gressed and honor after honor was
heaped on the smiling Glesca, one
watching Alice's face would have
noticed that skepticism and bitter
ness were becoming more and more
in evidence.
1t was toward the end of the eve
ming that Alice succeeded in getting
Glesca alone in a secluded part of
the hall.
Said Alice, my dear, think your
work is wonderful! Really! I believe
I've read about everything you've
had published. And now, my dear,
would it be asking too much if re-
quested a favor?"
Glesca, though certain of the ma
ture of the request, could do naught
but smile and nod her head and
hope that Alice was about to re-
quest a favor somewhat different
from the usual run of favors re-
quested of famous authors. But she
was doomed to disappointment.
my dear, l knew you wouldn't
refuse. So sweet of you. The favor
is really nothing much. 1t concerns
a story I have just completed. It
occurs to me that it has some merit,
yet l really would appreciate your
professional advice before submit
ting it. Would you mind?"
Ordinarily Glesca would have re-
fused. But the situation was lit
tie different from ordinary. In the
first place, Alice was a fellow-towns-
woman, her hostess, in a manner of
speaking. And in the second place,
Glesca saw in Alice's eyes a look
that was slightly battling. The look
somehow resembled a challenge.
And so Glesca agreed to read AL
ices manuscript, though she regret
ted her decision a moment after it
was made.
The script came to Glesca's hand
on the day following, neatly typed,
with Alice's name on the by-line.
Glesca glanced over the first page
with casual Indifference. But as
she delved into page two she sud-
denly sat upright in her chair and
read on with renewed interest. At
the conclusion of the story Glesca
found herself amazed and somewhat
puzzled. The story was-actually-
a well-done piece of work. 1t mer-
tied publication. 1t was, in fact, not
the assortment of jargon that she
had expected.
Glesca carefully folded the script,
tucked it in her handbag, caught up
a hat and headed for the house of
Alice.
Alice received her guest gracious
ly. They sat down together in the
sitting room and looked at each 9th
er closely.
my dear" said Glesca, 81 have
a confession to make. When
agreed to read your script l ex-
pected to find trash. II almost
hoped l would. Believe me, l was
tremendously surprised. 1t wasn't
the sort of thing | expected to find
at all"
"You actually thought the story
was good?" asked Alice.

STORY

LESCA PAINE is a famous
writer. Her name is fea-
. tured in all the leading mag

~ tured in all the leading mag
azines of the country.
Glesca cannot attribute her
achievements to any mysterious or
inherited gift. Her fame is the re-
suit OF hard work and study, of con-
slant, tireless plugging, and the will
to write over heart-rending discour-
agement. In short, Glesca is no
natural-born genius, no worker of
miracles; her rewards are Just and
Well-earned.
Some few months ago the people
OF Glesca's home town held a re-
ceptlon in her honor. Among those
present was one Alice Merle, new
conner to Hamstead, a woman of
some social prominence-and also
a writer. Unfortunately, however,
she has acquired no fame, has had
little success with her literary eff
forts. And she is inclined to be some
what bitter about her fate.
Despite the recognized fame of
the guest of honor, Alice's regard
for Glesca was somewhat skeptical.
She was, in fact, heard to remark
that Glesca had doubtlessly won her
reputation through some sort of
drag and was now trading upon the
selling power of her name. She even
went so far as to suggest that Giles
cas- stuff wasn't so good, when you
compared it with real literature, and
