a complaint. This would involve a postal interview at the recipient's end which would not be appreciated. This being the case, we just have to put up with it and be sorry.
IV. APOLOGY TO OUR CATHOLIC READERS: It was called to my att- ention that on page 55 of TVia #17 in the discussion of the religious affiliation of our readers, I referred to the "feminine diety". I should not have used this expression as Catholics do not regard Mary as a Diety. I apologize for this careless use of words. I was referring of course, to the great reverence and devotion accorded the Virgin by Catholics and the place she holds in the Catholic faith.

THE_FEMMEMIRROR:
PLUG FOR THE FEMME MIRROR: The majority of those who read TVia subscribe for the Mirror, but a number do not. I would like to suggest that you do. I do so because the Mirror is our "inner circle" newsletter. It goes only to subscribers while TVia is sold on News- stands. Since the Mirror is "in the family", as it were, we can write in more personally, excerpts from letters, comments, answers to ques- tions, etc. that would not be quite in order in a semi-public magazine as TVia has now become. Sometimes there are things we should like to say to all of you that we don't necessarily want to say to others who might see TVia but not be one of us. So, if you can afford that $1 a month, I think it would be a good investment. Joyce is primar- ily responsible for it and she is doing a very nice job. It is now pub- lished in the same page size and style as TVia but is only 11 pages long--a "between us girls type of thing". Try it.

PAYMENT FOR MANUSCRIPTS: Up to the present, all contribut- ions to Chevalier have been made gratis. This has enabled us to get started and to grow. Largely it will remain this way, but the time has come when some compensation to authors should be made. So on accepted manuscripts submitted AFTER Feb. 1, 1963 a payment of $1 per page from 10 to 50 pages and 75¢ a page over this will be made. Articles less than 10 published pages will continue to be gratis and for the good of the cause. Payment will be made IF AND WHEN mat- erial is published and based on printed pages. This amount is not large, but is intended as a gesture of participation and encourage- ment. It will be paid for fiction, true stories and articles, but not for letters or case histories. The Editor reserves the right to shorten, delete or rearrange material as deemed necessary, not to save money, but to avoid padding and unnecessary verbosity. I hope this will en- courage some of the more reluctant authors.
