THE HOUSEHOLD 



for November is noteworthy. The stories 

 are from such well-known writer as Sophie 

 Swett, Will Allan Dromgoole, and J. L. 

 Harbour. There are illustrated articles 

 by Col. T. W. Higginson, Kate Sanborn, 

 and Fannie Bullock Workman the Only 

 woman who has climbed the Himalays. 

 The illustrators for the month are Chase

THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL 

 for November contains The Loveliest 

 Woman in All America, The Future of 

 the White House, The Man Who Wrote 

 Narcissus, Waiting for the Mail a page 

 drawing by A. B. Frost and How Aunt 

 Sally Brought Down the House, a short 

 story, are some of the excellect features. 

 In the same issue Clifford Howard con- 

 tinues The Story of a Young Man ; Charles 

 Major his Blue River Bear Stories ; Eliza- 

 beth Stuart Phelps her serial, The Suc- 

 cessors of Mary the First, and Josiah 

 Allen's Wife, finally narrates the incidents 

 of her fourth visit. Edward Bok forcibly 

 contends that the Americans show exec- 

 rable taste in furnishing their houses, and 

 An American Mother, convicts the Ameri- 



cans of having bad manners. Plans are- 

 given for A Quaint, Old-Fashioned House 

 for $6600, and interior views of The Most 

 Artistic House in New York City, right 

 worthily occupy two pages, as does 

 Through Picturesque America, which pic- 

 tures the scenic beauties of California. 

 There are numerous articles on the 

 fashions, and woman's work. 



MC CLUEE'S. 



Perhaps the most timely article in Mc- 

 Clures Magazine for November, is A 

 Woman's Diary of the Siege of Pekin, by 

 Mrs. E. K. Lowry, one of the besieged 

 missionaries in the legation last summer. 

 Another article that will awaken general 

 interest is that on The First Flight of 

 Count Zeppelin's Air Ship, by Eugen 

 Wolt, the Count's assistant and companion 

 in the trial. Interesting, suggestive, help- 

 ing that must be the verdict upon Wm. 

 Allen White's Character Sketch of Hanna. 

 The fiction in this number is of the usual 

 high standard. A Temperance Cam- 

 paign, by G. K. Turner; Confusion of 

 Goods, by Frederic Carrol Baldy ; Charles 

 Warren's story of How the Law Came to 

 Jenkins Creek ; Little Hallujah's Convert, 

 by Alvah Milton Kerr, and The Love 

 that Glorifies, by Lilian True Rryant. 

 Ray Stannard Baker's account of The 

 Making of a German Soldier is instructive 

 and well written. The 'story of The 

 Crucifixion of the Messiah in the Rev. 

 John Watson's Life of The Master is a. 

 worthy continuation of a notable work.
