Written This Spring and Summer---Says Rumor of Gene Stratton Porter WILL BEGIN SOON On Another---Interval Be cause of Building of Her New Cottage. Lovers’ of Mrs. Gene Stratton Por ter’s books, which have issued annual ly from the press for several years and were placed on sale in August, the month of Mrs. Porter’s birth anni versary will be disappointed in the ru mor that there is no new book written this summer. Mrs. Porter's cottage at Rome City, where she is now mak ing her home, was built during the past year by Mann Christen of this city, and owing to the building of the cottage, and the attention which she gave it, no book was written. The Geneva Herald says, relative to the visit of Miss Irene Miller at her home in Geneva: “One of the assistants of Mrs. Gene Stratton Porter, who spent Sunday at her home in Geneva, was asked about the work done by Mrs. Porter of late months. Owing to the building of her cottage, Mrs. Porter has not written any book this summer or spring. This fall, however, she will begin a new book,” stated the stenographer. “A new addition of ‘Freckles,’ however, will be given to the public soon with illustrations.” The Geneva young wo man mentioned Mrs. Porter’s work in connection with her own, which is that of one of Mrs. Porter's private sten ographers. The assistant is thrown in close touch with the popular writer and finds her work very pleasant.
