obentbtieg aa IL An Author's Dilemma GUCcESSFUL authorship has penalties as well as rewards. A novelist whose works have been among best sellers for quite a period recently received an invi- tation to the wedding of a charming young woman, a daughter of wealth with a wide acquaintance among the elect of finance, literature and the other arts. This author felt obliged to give the bride some token worth while, but at the moment he felt poor, and cudgeled his brain in an effort to solve his problem. When an author cudgels his brain, some- thing is produced. This author had a beautiful souvenir book with blank pages, deckel-edged, sumptuously bound, and al- together inviting from the outside. “I shall write a little story in this book,’? he said to himself, ‘‘and surely that should please her.’’ And he sat down and began his story, naturally taking great pains with his chirography. The story grew and grew. It developed and developed, as stories will unexpected!y expand and take on new elements even with the best-regulated authors; and as he wrote this author be- gan to like his tale far beyond any fore- seeing. When it was finished, he con- sidered it one of the best stories he had written, and a thought of its possibilities came to him. He showed it to a pub- lisher. “Why, that’s a corking story,’’ re- marked the publisher; ‘‘one of the best of its length you ever produced. I'll give you five hundred dollars for it.'” The author sent the charming bride a gift worth fifty dollars. A Mild Suggestion There was recently a very erudite lec- turer, who was almost as much noted for his unkempt appearance as he was for his erudition and eloquence. On one occasion he approached the local committeeman—who had never seen him before-—and asked permission to change the topic of his lecture from the subject advertised to another one. The commit- teeman looked the stranger over interest- edly awhile, give his consent to the change desired and added, “By the way, if there's anything else you'd like to change, we'll be glad to wait awhile for you to do so."” Wedding Bells WHEN Cupid's triumph joins a pair Of loving hearts with wedding ring, The bells sound forth upon the air A tuneful, joyous ‘‘Ding, ding, ding!”’ But when King Mammon claims a score, Youth wed to age begets a pang That makes the old bells seem to roar A rumbling, grumbling “Dang, dang, dang!’" —Charles A.
