Following a career—? Isn’t)flip through your newspaper or

magazine, desu’torily testing the “lead” paragraph of a piece you don’t much care about continuing—think! You’re caught, hooked. This is no innocent recital of anecdote, no casually assembled bits and pieces of hearsay. There is a large slice of pie before you —without fork. There is a snapper in that first line which has you where it hurts—in the curiosity department. The only way to procure the fork, the only way to release the trap is read on. Well, you say, most articles don’t settle world problems. Some are on trivial subjects — and who cares whether people get swindled buying "precious” stones or that kids grow up to be exactly what their parents make them? (But that old garnet of Grandma’s do you suppose? And whacking Junior—could it be they took me off the potty or put me on the potty too soon—too late? It won’t hurt to hear what

| this jerk has to say.)

Then, my friend, you have—as the saying goes—had it. The editor and the writer, no babes they, know this phenomenon like the palms of their hands. Which mitts, incidentally, are the donor and the recipient of substantia] coin of the realm just prior to the spread of print you now devour. An article—a good one, remember?—brings tidy batches of groceries to the lad or lass who has culled facts, interviewed and outerviewed, sweated and sworn over many a re-write. Magazines pay from $750 to $2,000 for GOOD articles. Newspapers—well, anyway the work

is steady.

The pie is okay, but where’s the fork, Myrtle?
