How it Caa Be Done.
Here is some of the sound counsel
for the leading of a happy, helpful. In
spiring life contained in Miss Co
croft's "Growth In Silence":
"To be cheerful, bright, tender and
helpful, in one's sphere' of contact. Is
all that is required of us.
"To let no Influence go out from us
that Is not helpful is the secret of a -happy
life. .
'Let us live up to our noblest Ideals
and with mind and spirit fixed upon
a high purpose, the little worries of
life will merge Into greater thoughts.

Mrs. Senn Discusses
Work of Reviewer
Mrs. Helen Miller Senn. before the !
Portland Woman's club at the Mult
n'omah hotel, Friday afternoon, gave a
talk on "Mow to Judge and Review
Work of Fiction," developing her sub,
Ject from the following points:
Three important ' ways of Judging a
took: First, by the Impression it
makes on yourself, second, by accept
ing the verdict of expert authority. i
third, by dissecting and weighing thi
objective qualities of the book itself.
The greatest art Is that which gives
the most lasting pleasure to the larg
est number of people.
Every novel is made un of at lat
fix elements, vis., character, action,
plot, setting, style, spirit. ; ...
neware of the melodramatic novel.;
One of the first things we demand
of a novel is that the characters muss
iaix like real people; yet unlike real
reople they must always say some-
thing worth hearing.
mere is always a center of high
light in good painting, which shades
eff more or less gradually into deepest
shadow. In a figure painting thU
burst of light falls upon or near the
main figure. Fa In a well constructed
novel there Is always one central fig
ure that dominates the story; that
stands in the high light. '
A book must do on of three things;
mak you think, make you feel, or
make you see. The best literature
does all three things at once.
Every great novel has a moral mean
ing, but this n.eaning must He at the
Leart of the plot not on Its surface.
The function of the art of novel
writing is not to tell ua new things
as science does, but to interpret and
illume what we already know. Eaco
reader can grasp only so much of a
book's treasures as her knowledge per
mils her to understand.
As reviewers mmt ian.
eliminate unnecessary details. Musi
Lunuense witnout losing any of tne -main
thought. A drama. Is condensed
more than a novel. Great poets con
dense. - Tennyson's "Flower in the
Crannied Wall" is suggestive of mat
ter that has filled many books. It Is
a book condensed Into six unes
In conclusion: The reviewer ahouiJ
nake prominent the message that lay '
nearest the heart of the author when
he produced the book, and Ilka the
painter or the poet in his art '"She
must intimate th whole, anJ say the
smallest part."
