Temple Bailey Finds Success
In Incurable Romanticism
By JESSIE FANT EVANS.
Despite Temple Bailey's breath-tak
ing success as a writer of short stories
and of popular novels, all of which,
beginning with her second book, "Con
trary Mary,” have been best sellers,
she hasn’t a trace of self-conscious
ness. Nor could any one be less
“professional” in manner.
A famous woman’s page editor once
said about her: "Temple Bailey has
done more to bring the blessed aura
of wholesome romance into the other
wise drab lives of her middle-aged
women readers than any other author
in America, because she herself be
lieves that life is good and dreams
come true.”
But she has not permitted her life
to be changed in the slightest degree
by a writing career that is almost
Aladdin-like in the way it came to be.
How does she achieve it? Her answer
is delightfully frank. "By living a
double ILfCk, as it were,” she says. "The
morning is my time for work. After
an hour with my secretary I write
intensively until 1 o’clock. The rest
of the 24 hours is as divorced from
my writing routine and background as
if they did not exist.”
Miss Woodward Her Secretary.
Miss Bailey’s secretary is, by the
way. Miss Elinor Woodward, a Smith
College graduate and the daughter of
Dr. William C. Woodward, famous as
one of Washington's ablest health of
ficers.
Despite the fact that Miss Bailey
and her mother are genuinely fond
of people and greatly enjoy them, they
deliberately cut themselves off for two
hours of every afternoon from all tele
phone calls, except emergency and
long distance. "This is because," as
Miss Bailey delightfully puts it, "not
only do we desire a little time apart
from the rest of the world, but be
cause to keep acquainted with one's
own family it is the most satisfying
process I know.”
Does she do her own housekeeping
i in their Wardman Park apartment?
Oh, yes, and enjoys it, too, including
the myriad details of planning and
ordering. She drives to the wharf
for Chincoteague oysters and to the
famous Women's Exchange in Balti
more, too, for Lady Baltimore and
j other delicious cakes on which the
Baltimoreans Justly pride themselves.
Her father was a great epicure, and
the tradition holds in the family of
retaining all the native flavors of fish
and game without the "entangling
alliances” of high seasonings and for
eign sauces.
Wharves Inspire Sterv.
One of the three serials which are
forming at the moment in Miss
Bailey’s writing hours owes its incep
tion to her weekly drives to South
west Washington, where the boats
from Chincoteague Island and other
Chesapeake Bay oyster beds make port
during the season. Against the back
ground of our Nation's Capital her
hero and heroine not only meet in
a snowstorm on one of the wharves
of Southwest Washington, but their
romance develops against the his
toric background of this vicinity. Later
it moves uptown, linking both the
Northwest and Southwest sections in
its picturesque narrative. The first
name of her heroine will be the quaint
and unusual one of Mariana, an old
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Vir
ginia family name among certain of
it* earliest settlers in Colonial times.
It is not extraordinary that Miss
Bailey's short stories and novels
should have such a wide sectional
appeal, for her own background is a
varied and cosmopolitan one. She is
the daughter of New York parents
who were of New England ancestry,
her mother having been a Miss
Sprague of the well-known Boston
family. There are also Dwights, Dud
leys, Newtons, Batchellers and other
Massachusett names in the family
genealogy. Seeking warmer climatic
conditions shortly after their mar
riage. Miss Bailey's parents journeyed
to Petersburg, Va„ where Temple, their
younger daughter, was born. Much
of Miss Bailey’s girlhood was spent
in Washington, and her sister, Beatrice
Bailey, who died several years ago,
was known in Washington musical
circles as a brilliant pianist and com
poser. She married Paul Vernon Bunn,
who began his career in Washington
in the Civil Service Commission with
Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Bunn's col
lection of Rooseveltiana is one of
the most complete and valuable in
the country.
Father Helped on Books.
Miss Bailey denies being educated
In the formal sense of the word. Her
early training at Miss English's school
in Richmond was supplemented by
that of special teachers and courses
here, there and everywhere to meet
the challenge of her later interests and
activities. Her father, who was pos
sessed of literary taste and of a fine
library, guided her in her selection of
books.
Nor is it by mere chance that such
a volume of hers as “The Blue Win
dow” is a veritable guidebook to the
picturesque parts of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia or so red
olent of the charm of Baltimore's old
homes. As a girl and a young woman,
Temple Bailey spent many summers
with her father sailing, fishing and ab
sorbing intimately the mystery and
charm of the Chesapeake Bay and its
surrounding country—and of its Bal
timore families with their charm and
line traditions.
Between Miss Bailey and her mother
exists a deep devotion and a very real
companionship and unity of interests.
It was the mother who was the driving
force in the young author's life, who
encouraged her to translate her day
dreams into prose stories, and who
spurred her on to putting them into
print. How well this effort was justi
fied is literary history. Miss Bailey’s
first stories sold readily, and she won
at the beginning of her career a prize
from the Ladies' Home Journal in a
love-story contest. It was a slight
sketch, “The Prince and the Painter,”
I and foreshadowed the problem which
so many years later confronted Id
ward Vin and the woman he married.
Now that her mother’s eyes must
avoid unnecessary strain, one of Miss
Bailey’s greatest pleasures consists in
reading aloud to her and in discussing
with her the news interests of the day.
Career Unsuspected.
There was never any expectation In
the beginning on Miss Bailey's part
that she would become a novelist.
When she had written only a few
short stories she was sought out by
Charles C. Shoemaker, head of a
Philadelphia publishing firm, who not
only persuaded her that she could
write a book, but to her alternate ter
ror and amazement, signed her up for
four successive novels. Her second
novel, “Contrary Mary,” proved to be
its season’s best seller.
A touching tribute to the friend
ship which ripened with the years
between Miss Bailey and her publisher
is the notable collection of rare books.
Including many first editions, which he
willed to her with other choice fur
nishings of his personal library. Many
of the volumes are enriched by the
autographs of their authors, so that,
in addition to the charm of their
bindings, illustrations and general
format, there is often an inscription
to a distinguished friend or distin
guished contemporary to challenge a
book lovers interest. Among those
books are several priceless volumes of
Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll’s "Alice in
Wonderland,’’ Thackerary’s "Vanity
Fair.” Jane Austin’s "Pride and Preju
dice" and Dickens’ “Christmas Carol.”
In recent years Miss Bailey has
made repeated efforts to dictate her
stories to her secretary or to a dicta
phone, but she still finds that she does
her most satisfying work by sitting
down at her own battered old type
writer and letting her writing gait be
what it will. She feels that one must
pay the penalty of success by giving
up much vital living, for literary pro
duction is not possible in “the stream
of the world.” In her opinion, too,
the best writing is done by those who
meet and know many people, yet have
the strength to withdraw and write.
Despite the tremendous success of
her books, which have sold into mil
lions, and of such short stories as
her many, many times reprinted "The
Candle in the Forest” and "A Little
Parable for Mothers,” which have be
come modern classics, Miss Bailey
positively affirms that she does not
i write with the conscious idea of con
veying a message.
I snoula feel hopelessly stuffy and
preachy, and be so, if I were to at
tempt this." She says, adding:
“There is much beauty and courage
in the world. I have known it in the
people around me and I try by choos
ing characters of the types who em
body this, to work toward my philos
ophy of living.”
A romanticist? An incurable one,
I *'ho is content to be a spinner of fairy
tales for grown-ups, and who believes
! with all her heart that short stories
and novels featuring great compelling
I loves or the epics of enobling pas
I sions that have survived sordidness
, and reached up toward eternal good
i have a distinct mission in our other
wise prosaic world.
Never in any generation does it
seem to Temple Bailey that young peo
ple have had higher ideals than those
which are shared by many of our 20th
century youth, or greater dream* that
those dreams may work out in actual
ity. It is also her belief that they
often hide their dreams from the too
frequent ridicule and cynicism of their
elders. The Imagination to project
oneself into the mind of modern
youth brings better understanding of
its problems than mere observation
and dogmatic comment upon such
outward manifestations, of their prob
lems as may be encountered.
