S. Rodie, South Orange, N. J. Hard Luck OSH ALL HEMLOCK was a fiction writer. He finished a war story two days before the Armistice. Then he wrote a spiritualistic novel, but Sir Oliver Lodge and the craze departed within a week of each other. Next he essayed a straight love-in-gingham epic, but his publisher said that polyannuals were out of date. Finally he did a child story, when Opal Whiteley and Daisy Ashford proved that our six-year-olds no longer read—or write —juveniles. In despair he sought out his publisher. “Give us some strong sex stuff,” said that worthy, “Tam a married man with four children,” said Hemlock. “My Quaker wife was cight- een when I married her, and she is the first woman I ever called by her first name. “Then go and find out,” said the millionaire book blurber. So Gosh All Hemlock jour- neyed through this land in search of scandal. He stopped in villages, towns, cities and metropolises. He lived in cot- tages, boarding places, hotels and apartment houses. Every- body he met was either a happy husband, a winsome wife, a contented kiddie, a fairsome flapper, a safe spinster or a glorious grandmother. For two years he journeyed hither and yon, and found naught save licensed affection and rea- sonable happiness. Two days after he reached home, his wife eloped with the chauffeur, leaving him with four semi-orphans and a twice- mortgaged house. His new book will be out in September. It tells the story of a miner who sold his cabin for eighteen dollars and travelled four thousand miles, seeking for gold When he returned, ten years later, he found an oil shaft in his front yard and a gold mine in the cellar, The title is: “Hard Luck—By One Who Knows.” S.
