When Scribner issued its famous Mid
summer Holiday Number in July, friendly
critic said oft: "We are not sure but that
Scribner has touched high-water mark. We
do not see what worlds are left to it to con-
quer." But the publishere do not consider
that they have reached the ultima thule Of
excellence-they believe "there are other
worlds to conquer, and they propose to con-
quer them.'
The prospectus for the new volume gives
the titles OF more than fifty papers (mostly
illustrated), hy writer's Of the highest merit.
