From the Saturday Evening Post, alone, she received 36 rejection slips. Her first encouragement came from R. H. Davis, editor of Mun sey's, and success followed swiftly. Her first book, a collection Of short stories, was published in 1914, and her works appeared regularly there after, including "Mannequin" in 1926, which was awarded a prize of |50,000 by a moving picture cor poration. - Fannie Hurst now lives in luxury In New York city.
