Stilwell outside her , books-writer 0 novels and plays by 'the score, is to take the hrst real vacation, this summer, that has been l hers since fame perch- ed upon her' active pen and fortune deposited its treasures at her feet. It was after completing her eightieth 'play a little while ago-she had already written forty or more novels-that ll/I iss Lib- bay--Mrs. Stilwell-threw down her pen in the library on her handsome home in Brook- 'lyn, N. Y., and announced her purpose of tak- ing a rest, of enjoying a' vacation. Miss Libbey’s claim to fame lies in the number and heart-throbbing character of her novels, rather than in the construction of plays. Although she is now the authoress of more plays than works of fiction, her novels have made her name known throughout the land; over them young women by hundreds of thousands have wept and laughed. After having turned out volume after volume with astonishing ease and rapidity, the widely known authoress will rest a while before devoting herself entirely to playwrit- ing, which she aninounces as the seiious voca- tion af her future. But what kind of a vacation will appeal to this prolific authoress whose pen has played upon the heartstrings of thousands of her sex?) She has created many stirring situations for 'her heroines; has she decided upon a summer of thrilling events for herself? Dramas from Laura A Pollrtloll Plot.
