COLONEL ROOSEVELT IN HIS 

 MOST ATTRACTIVE ROLE 



A side of the man that appeals to 

 many of his countrymen who do not 

 share his political views. There are 

 several Theodore Roosevelts, but he 

 is never more attractive than when 

 he leaves civilization and controversy 

 behind him to plunge into the wilder- 

 ness and enjoy it as a naturalist, 

 lover of scenery and sportsman. No 

 living American can be better qualified 

 to explore the wilds of South America 

 and to describe its flora and fauna and 

 its savage and tremendous scenery with 

 a sympathetic and kindling interest 

 than Theodore Roosevelt.

Articles by Price 

 Collier 



Price Collier, whose "England and the English 

 from an American Point of View," "The West 

 in the East from an American Point of View," 

 "Germany and the Germans from an American 

 Point of View," were veritable literary sensations, 

 revealing a new critic of the nations, will con- 

 tribute papers about SWEDEN AND NORWAY. 

 They will deal with the people, with social and 

 political matters — of exceptional interest in 

 both of these countries. No one has better suc- 

 ceeded in conveying a clear impression of the 

 essential qualities of the peoples about whom he 

 writes. The author's style sparkles with wit 

 and humor, with surprises in the way of vivid 

 revelations of character, with occasional touches 

 of illuminative and penetrating sarcasm. 



A Famous Writer's 

 First Long Novel 



During the coming year the Magazine hopes to 

 begin the first long novel by an American author 

 who for many years has had one of the largest 

 audiences among contemporary writers; whose 

 work in prose and verse has been not only of the 

 first rank but based upon a deep and unfailing 

 optimism, concerning itself with human realities 

 and ideals rather than with "problems " His 

 short stories are among the best known wherever 

 the English language is read, and his first novel 

 will be awaited with a very uncommon interest. 

 A detailed announcement will follow later. 



Madame 

 Waddington 



Readers of the Magazine will anticipate with 

 special pleasure a new series of reminiscences 

 by Madame Waddington. 



This new series of articles — "My First Years 

 as a Frenchwoman"- — will deal with a most 

 interesting period of French history, covering 

 M. Waddington's services - — At the Ministry 

 of Public Instruction, 1876-77; At the Ministry 

 of Foreign Affairs and the Berlin Congress, 

 1877-78; and as Prime Minister, 1879. The 

 political, diplomatic, and social aspects of these 

 years, important personages of the times in 

 diplomacy, literature, and art, the people met 

 at various state functions, private dinners, 

 balls, the opera, the theatres, are commented 

 upon in the author's own inimitable and de- 

 lightful way.
