So good an ex- ample is worthy of imitation, and to-day we offer the following comments on MSS. that have been submitted to us: sufferably long, and full of wearisome | classical allusions. We feel sure that no editor would accept it. And yet| there are ideas in the poem. You might, | we think, have made a good deal more of Adam's first meeting with Eve. The piece, too, would be greatly improved by |" the use of suitable headlines, such as, Was it Love at First Sight? Interesting Story of How the First Man Met the First Woman. Was Eve a Suffragette? | (N. B.—This last headline, though ir- relevant to the poem, would be sure to prick the public attention in these trou- blous days, and we cannot too strongly insist that the only test of a work is its selling capacity. This is a point too often overlooked by beginners like your- self.) No, we do not think you have enough ability to win a limerick prize. William Shakespeare — Your _ play “‘Hamlet"’ is not without merit. There are indeed passages in it of which no practiced hand would be ashamed, and we have little doubt that if you persevere you will in time write stuff good enough for the provincial stage. What we es- pecially like about this little effort is that there is plenty of blood init. We suggest that you cut out all the solil- ‘oquies, and tone the language up more. Robert Burns—There is no demand for the Scotch dialect poem, even the Scotch |dialect story has gone out of fashion. | Your only chance of success would be to have a few of your efforts set to music, and then forward them to your country- man, Harry Lauder, in the hope of his bringing them out at the halls. You seem to have a leaning toward sent: mental verse. You might develop this! a model ‘In the Twi Twi-Twilight. | rues OF BRAINS vein, taking IGARS Francis Bacon—The public does not read essays. If you aspire to be a lead-| ing-article writer, you must acquire a snappier style. No, we do not allow that any one can be the author of an- other man’s plays. To be the author of a work, one must have written it one’s | self. | Oliver Goldsmith—Your story, ‘The Vicar of Wakefield,” is exceedingly tame, and we do not think any editor would take it. The public is more in- | terested in burglars and detectives than in vicars. But you are capable of im- provement, both in style and plot. Study the works of the late Guy Boothby, and “The Mystery of a Hansom Cab."” Percy B. Shelley—Your lines are very | fair, but you are by no means happy in your choice of subjects. You must study the popular taste more. The public does not want laments. You should give them something in the style of “Put Me Among the Girls."” You would perhaps do better in prose.

Samuel Johnson—We have glanced through your ‘‘Rasselas."” You appear to have set out with a very hazy idea as to whether you would write in English, or Latin, and the result is a grotesque | mixture. Before beginning a work, it is always well to decide what language you will write it in. Name. Robert Browning—We should not ad- vise you to write songs for the music halls. Your style is not direct enough toget home on the public's heart.—Lon- don Pwich. FOR BOILING PURPOSES. In England, without a doubt, the most popular married couple on the stage is Mr. Arthur Bourchier and Miss Violet Vanbrugh.
