for SEPTEMBER

Being a Waitress in a Boardwalk Hotel

The New Pacific

Katharine Fullerton

Gerould

These are part of her adventures, FOUR YEARS IN THE UNDERBRUSH, by a novelist of note, who went in search of material for a novel, and worked at a variety of tasks with an eye for character. The absurdities and ironies of the rich and near-rich at a summer hotel are keenly portrayed.

Guy H. Scholefield, author of that authoritative work, "The Pacific," tells how Australia, New Zealand, and the United States are immensely involved in the trade of the Pacific, which has resolved itself into a struggle between the British and American interests for the control of the copra output."

"Next to going somewhere yourself is looking up the best way to get there.' This is the text for a journey in a guide-book, entitled CHANGE

FOR BOKHARA.

Meredith Nicholson This novelist and essayist contributes a brief paper, THE POOR OLD ENGLISH LANguage, in which he holds that "in these free states we are making no marked headway in the attempt to improve spoken and written English."

PEOPLE BY THE WAYSIDE is another cruise of "The Dingbat of Arcady," being strange adventures with characters met in Oregon, New York, England, and Scotland.

To LET, the notable serial, and the last of the Forsyte Saga, is con

Icluded in this number.

Emma Sarepta Yule, for eighteen years a resident in the Far East, says that "the new woman is in Japan and there to stay." She is "Loosening the fetters of custom that keep her from living the life of a freeborn individual."

E. M. Ashe, the artist, and his wife, Estelle Ashe, with their boy made a wonderful trip in a house-boat from Parkersburg, West Virginia, to Cincinnati. It was a thirty-foot scow, with a cabin twenty by ten, built in the centre. The amusing adventures are told by Mrs. Ashe, and drawn by Mr. Ashe.

The delights of a farm table nearly eighty years ago are told with real charm by William Henry Shelton, a veteran of the Civil War, a writer of books and a lover of old times.

BLOW out the candles; set the camp door wide;
Climb to your bunk; good night; sweet dreams galore.
Now all the silver night floods like a tide

In through the low camp door.
