An Unrk ,led illustrated Magazine.

When scR1BNER issued its famous Midsum-
mer Holiday Number in July, a friendly
critic said of it "We arc not sure but
that Scn1BSER has touched high water
mark. We do not see what worlds
are left to it to conquer" But the publishers
do not consider that they have reached the ul.
lima thule Of excellence they believe "thcrc
are other worlds to conquer, and they propose
to conquer them"

trated, by writer's Of the highest merit. Under
