What is their chance for suc- “cess? How must they go about training? Where should they do their work? How much is the pay? What is their future? These questions and others are-answered in an authoritative article in the April HowMme JournaL by Ida F. Butler, of the American Red Cross, herself a nurse for twenty years. How to Become a Writer Thousands of women are trying to build careersin the Writing Game. Some succeed ; many fail. Why? What ability doesit take to become a sugcessful author? Is writing a primrose path of big money and great fame? Is story-telling an easy way to fortune—or.a rocky road full of disappointments and really hard work? Elizabeth Jordan tells the answer in the " April HoME JournAL, from her own ex- perience and succes$ in writing.
