THE MAGAZINES.

Godeys Ladys Book for November is rich not
only in valuable information concerning the
fashions supplemented in turn by admirably
eolored fashion piateS,-but in literary features,
and it is, altogether, most interesting and en-
tertaining number. Very properly the frontis-
piece this month IS 9 Thanksgiving soliloquy,
and it is an exceedingly well-draGn and strik-
ing piece OF work. Godeys Is evidently coming
TO the front as a fayOrite lady's MAGAZINE In
this connection it is @orthy OF note that the
proprietors, Messrs. j. II. Haulenbeek & Co.,
1905 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa, have
issued Q dzinty little miniature of the maya
zine about three inches by two inches IN SIZE
the print of which, nevertheless, is quite legi-
Bile, and they Will be happy 70 send copy to
all who make application for it. 1t is charm
ing little souvenir, and our lady readers viii do
well to write to the publishers for a copy.
The Century is decidedly the most imposing of
the November magazines. There IS, to begin
with, an exquisite autograph and portrait of
Queen Victoria at the age of nineteen, engraved
by L. johnson from the original of Thomas
Sully, and there are richly Illustrated articles
on " The Bull Fight" by Charles Dudley War
ner; San American Artist In England by
Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,, lthe drawings
are by Winslow Homer, and are really superbl; /;
THE Scenes of Cables "reminiscences" by
Hesrn; "Glimpses of Paris" by j. d. Osborne,
ftta0 u &N0aiNC Ii 0Ao-
There are also several minor papers Of unusual
merit. The articles by Alphonse Daudet, on
" "Tourguenef in Paris; THE Capture of
Jefferson Davis" by Burton n. Harrison, Con
fedeTate side of the story,) and Madame
Modjeska," by j. Ranken Towse, are all capi-
tai. The novel is also largely represented
The opening chapters are given of - The Sill
verado Squatters," California sketch, by Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson; . Dr.. SEWER" by George
w. Cable, and " Impressions of Cousin" by
Henry James. The Bread Winners begun
in the August number, is continued. The
poems are by Richard Watson Glider. Annie
Lazarus. John Vance Chaney, Juliet C. Marsh,
III. H., Helen Gray Cone, and Geo. A. Hibbard-
The echief feature of Harper's for November is,
as usual, the spiendor Of its illustrated articles
It's table of contents includes "a Vacation In
Vermont by Herbert Tuttle; Some Giinpses
of Artistic London" by Joseph Hatton; The
New Metropolitan Opera House in New York y
by Montgomery Schuyler "a paper which ex-
hibits, IN very striking way, the progress
made by architectural art in this country !;
"Sir Moses Montefore," by ZadeI Barnes Gus
tafSon, and Mr.. Henry P. Johnson's paper, ON
the Evacuation OF New York by the British in
1885," The novelty of the number is an anus
ing paper by II. e. Kane, NJ. D., descriptive of
a visit to New York hashish house. There
are poems by Austin Dobson, Sarah Jewett,
, Edgar Fawcett, Herbert E. Clark, E. C. Brad
ley, and Victor Hugo, while Julian Hawthorn
and Lena Redwood Fairfax contribute amusing
stories. The Editors Easy Chair shows Cur
tis at his best this month.
The table of contents of Lippincott's for No
vember is quite as remarkable for the variety
of subject as for the individual merit of the
articles which compose it. Thus We have, from
Robert Laird Collyer, an appreeiative, though
not undiscriminatiye article (illustrated) on
Henry Irving, the famous English actor; q
very thoughtful paper by Margaret Bertha
Wright, OF Housekeeping in Normandy;" .
stirring hunting sketch by Phil Robinson, en-
Two Chinese Wonders by Charles Wood
splendid story of Western exploration, by w.
L. Baillie Grohman On the Mountain Trails
