Frank l.esUe's Popular Montli- 



ly for Jtime.— Summer Saunterings in 

 Spanish San Sebastian is a charming bit of 

 descriptive from the pen of Mrs. Frank 

 Leslie, one of the most notable women of 

 the day, equally skillful in the management 

 of a great business and in literary effort, in 

 prose or verse. The description of the 

 famous old frontier town, now becomes a 

 resort of gayety and fashion. Is full of char- 

 acteristics touches. The stories are all 

 bright, attractive, and well written, and the 

 Popular Monthly for June gives a most 

 attractive and interesting mass of reading 

 for the pleasant days when travel or a 

 shaded porch invite one to read.
