LITERARY NOTES. 



At a time when all the world is asking, 'What 

 manner of man is our new President ? " Modern 

 Culture reprints in the October number an article 

 entitled "Theodore i>oosevelt — The Typical ivlan 

 of the Twentieth Century," by Day Allen Willey. 

 Of this article the President himself has written: 

 'T have so genuinely liked that article of yours 

 about me that appeared in Modern Culture, that 

 I must send you a line to tell you so. You have 

 recognized what I was trying to be and to do — no 

 matter how far I have come short in both respects. 

 Let me thank you heartily. Theodore Roosevelt." 



It was announced several months ago that the 

 editor of The Ladies' Home Journal contemplated 

 making some sweeping changes in his editorial 

 staiT. Up to the present time ten new editors have 

 been added to Mr. Boks corps, and fifteen new de- 

 partments planned for The Journal, a majority of 

 which make their initial ajipearance in the October 

 number. 



'The Epicures Map of Europe" is the first art- 

 icle of a series describing the good-liver's tour of 

 Europe. 'For him Europe is no silly checker- 

 board of battles, churches, operas, museums or 

 flirtations. It is studded with siuces. soups, 

 salads, and so on. into entrancing infinity." — 

 Adelaide Keen in October What to Eat.
