Celebrities at Luncheon. The short story group of the League of American Pen Women got practical advice on the selling and craftsman- ship of their art from masters at the session in the ballroom of the Shore- ham Hotel today. 8. 8. McClure, dean of American magazine publishers, spoke from the viewpoint of the editor, who must pay actual cash for manusecripts, and out of his long life of association with some of the foremost literary men of the generation told a number of anec- dotes showing the difficulty of making a mark even with first-class work. Among the men Mr. McClure dis- covered for American readers are Rudyard Kipling, Sir J. M. Barrie and A. Conan Doyle. He told of picking up ““The Study in Scarlet,” the first of Doyle’'s wo in which Sherlock Holmes appeared. as a dime novel on an English newsstand. Characters Must Live. The essential requirement for a short story, Mr. McClure said, is that it have life—that its characters be liv ing men and women. It is for this quality which editors ever are on the watch, he told the pen women. “The editor,” the veteran publisher said, “is the slave to his market. but the slogan jive the Public What | They Want,' is rather difficult to fol- low out. The public doesn't know what it wants. 1 have interviewed num bers of newspaper editors on the sort of stuff they would buy. The plain fact is that they don't know. One never knows until the public has ac cepted.” In regard to some of the salacious literature of the day Mr. McClure said: “Why display a manure heap of life when the same material, properly handled, can bring into words all of God's great beauty?” Now Want Happy Endings. Dr. Paul Kaufman, professor of English literature at American Uni versity, said that American editors ‘nw seem to have a penchant for appy endings, almost regardless of the natural sequence of events. J. Lewis Moneyway of the George. Washingtotn University faculty, who also is a successful short-story writer gave practical hints on what not to do in producing salable story. These plots, said Mr. Moneyway, are so over- worked that it i8 practically impossible to sell a story based on one of them Mistaken identity, mixing of babies mixing of bridegrooms, gratitude for rescue, lost wills requiring the hero to marry some unknown woman, the poor against the rich suitor with the poor triumphant, the cruel father and the cruel stenmother, heaping coals of fire on the head, overheard pray ers, “the little child who shall lead them,” the unprotected country girl in New York, the poor boy who works hard and weds his employer’'s daugh- ter. .
