"The most important 
year ot the Century” 
has begun. The December number is 
the most elaborate Christmas number 
ever published in America. 
From its beautiful cover, painted by George 
Inness, Jr., to the last page of “In Lighter 
Vein,” (a sparkling humorous magazine in 
itself), the December issue is, to date, the best 
example of the “new spirit of the Century.” 
Rich in fiction, art and poetry, this number 
is crowded with values. 
“ The Modern Quest for a Religion,” by 
Winston Churchill, author of “ The Inside of 
the Cup,” is a thoroughly readable paper for the 
“Public Concerned with the Greater Things.” 
The coupon below secures a year’s reading for the 
whole family at a remarkably low price.
