FORTUNE FROM TEDDY BEAR
AN AUTHORESS' THANKS. When Miss Sylvia Thompson, the twenty-three-vear-old English girl who has made a fortune in a few weeks from her " best-seller " novel, " The Hounds of Spring," publishes her next book, it will be distinguished on the fly-leaf, she states, by a little message of thanks to a very small and grubby teddy-bear. Peter Vesuvius Snelgrove is the strange name it bears, but when she was pressed to tell why, Miss Thompson shyly declined. Anvhow,, Peter is her mascot, and she believes he has been the cause of her remarkable fortune. Within two days of her book being published Miss Thompson was offered £3OOO from America for the film rights. Good going at twenty-three. She is shortly to be married to an American artist now sthdying in London.
