GODEY'S LApY's Book for October
is a plumber of more than average
merit. There are several strong sto-
ries in it, beside the absorbing serials
bv Helen Mathers and Christian Reid.
The general character Of the contents
is such as to show that the magazine is
raising its literary standard at the
same time that it is making other nota-
bic improvements. Lost in the Fro
zen North" record of life on the
Polar Sea, is very powerful story
which has additional interest on ac-
count of its association with the famous
Arctic Expedition. Midshipman -
gives in it u thrilling glimpse of his eX-
perjence in the realm of the Ice King,
and has woven into his narrative a
charming little story, founded largely
on fact. Mrs. V. Shelley Haller gives
us this month the opening chapters OF
"Your Love or My Life story full
of bright description, spontaneous hui
NOR. and graceful romance. The bal
ance of the magazine is made of short
stories, sketches, poems, etc., all o
which will be found interesting to the
ladies'. For sale at the bookstores.
