One a t the best-known woman writers o f the last generation wrote an Impassioned warning to literary a » pirante, telling them to do any work, area scrubbing floors, In preference to taking up a literary career. Undoubt edly ahe wrote at a time when her chosen work seemed unspeakably Irk some, but If sbe had been cornered, she would probably have acknowledged that the profession o f authorship has considerable to commend It when com pared with scrubbing floors.
