The Writers

THE WRITERS.

Josephine Daskam, the well known writer, was married at Stamford Conn., recently to Selden Bacon, a New York lawyer.

D. H. Carpenter, a well known genealogist and a writer of several books dealing with the history of the early settlers of the colonies, died at his home in Maplewood, N. J., recently.

The fiftieth birthday of Waldimir Korolenko was generally commented on by the press of Russia, where he is as popular as a novelist as Gorki, whom he resembles in choice of topics.

Count Tolstoi's handwriting is a terror to printers. It requires some apprenticeship to decipher. He writes his stories two or three times over, occasionally altering whole pages after the story has been set up in type.
