reach has always been as much her
own as was that of her determined
heroine in "A Durable Fire" Like
her also she has had the talent to
go through with whatever she de-
cided to do, such as playing the
piano. Annoyed with the nuisance
of learning scales she took out the
album of Beethoven sonatas after
about half an hour of dull scale
practice and began at the beginning.
Her outraged family said, You can't
play Beethoven sonatas! You have
to learn scales!"
To which she replied, There are
lots of people who can play scales
who can't play Beethoven. never
knew any one who could play
Beethoven who could not play scales.
I think this musical education is
wrong end-to." So she learned the
sonata phrase by phrase and in the
end became a good pianist.
Her gardening is done with the
same accomplished way and her
taste in literature shows what both
her intellect and education has been.
She graduated from Barnard and
wrote for the old World in New
York for awhile. Then she studied
Anglo-Saxon and old French, of all
things, at the University of Wis
consin and. loaded down with all
these postgraduate findings, pro-
ceeded to teach them-and Chaucer.
firing of that she did publicity,
from the sublime to the ridiculous,
and Travelled frequently. Her first
book was written Is years ago, but
she discarded it and not until 1885
did she go to work in earnest as a
writer again. That was evidently
the career she was looking for all
the time-and since in writing MOTH
ing is lost and everything is useful,
it will all come in handy. When her
various interests have flung them
selves into print SO abundantly that

in India she went to Mexico City
to live for a year and begin her latest
story. Chiefly, her apartment there
was famous for having an electric
clock, large and loud-ticking just
like Western Union offices would
have. They had been installed IN
each apartment as very modern
convenience and nearly drove the
Americans crazy. Even the natives
were disturbed, for although con-
genitally unaware of time, they could
not help hearing the ticking OF the
clock when they came visiting and
would nervously leave sooner than
they had intended.
Mrs. Hobart did the first draft
of the book under its spell, and
rewrote four times in pencil arrang-
ing to have each draft typewriter
before she corrected it. 1t took two
years. An injured back prevents
her from using the machine and the
labor of doing book is apt to leave
her limp, exhausted and in the hos
pital for bit of rewinding.
She did not speak Spanish in
Mexico City for the very reason
that speaking it poorly would alien
ate her from the very people she
wished to know we'll. Her concern
was with the rapidly vanishing old
families of Mexico City. They could
speak English. While there, she
noticed many of the changes, due
to revolution, similar to those she
had seen in China.
The day saw her at the Prince
ton Club was a momentous one for
her. She had just bought house
in California by telephone. They
were to ARRIVE there November %
and the only way to get a place to
live was to buy house. She tried
getting a maid the same way but
had less luck with that.

live in BethayerS, Pa, but have a
small apartment in Sutton place for
the time they must spend in New
York for research.
Although he consulted some 500
books himself in preparing THE
Black Rose and had Chinese
scholar do special research for him
and another who could read French
and medieval Latin, the story he is
working on now requires even more
than that. His niece, French and
Latin scholar, is reading for back
ground material.
He works from about to 4 daily,
but laughingly admitted that when
he feels slowed down he can always
stop writing and read. Since his
interest has always been history
and historical novels, whatever he
reads for entertainment also con-
tributes to his work. He might
write book with Canadian
background next-but he would like
to do one which would require
going to Europe for the research.
Such a choice must be postponed
until the volumes are again avail
able, however. He half hopes to 60
to Europe next spring.
AS soon as THE Black Rose" was
finished in April he went to work on
a story about Jacques Couer,
Frenchman of the 18th century, who
made a fabulous fortune by having
the idea for chain stores and for
department store.
In speaking of Jacques Occur and
what the men do for country who
have progressive ideas, he mem
toned Nelson Doubleday and his
father. The Doubledays, Mr.. Co.'S
tain pointed out, had found means
of turning up 10000 900 new readers.
That, he feels, is a publishing con-
tribution which must be labeled
genius.
Coer was a genius, Of course, but
for villains the best is yet to come.
Mr.. Costain has several historical
characters in mind that he intends
to get down on paper sooner or
later. and some Of them were
prodigies Of wickedness,' he says
happily.

4 Divine Setting
The last party I went to was in

while she received several hundred
guests. "A nurse carried one Of her
children through the rooms and
every one was enchanted. The Rain
bow Room is the most divine setting
to be found in New York for cele-
brating anything. Now that the
city is lighted again, people drift
out to lean on the terrace looking in
admiration and wonder at the
beauty Of the twinklmg city below.

There we're many more parties.
These were among those where the
people were the most famous and
the drinks the best-for no self-re-

serve tea-the canapes the most
plentiful and tasty, where even the
authors were fun.
Parties do not make a book, but
they help it achieve pretty bow

at these parties has been and still is
successful and popular. Perhaps
that is because a sumptuous enter
