Mr.. w. D, Howell's new novel,
'IndIan Summer" which will begin
in the July Harper's, is one OF the
results of his residence in Florence
two or three years ago, describing
as it does, the adventures of party
OF modern Americans with that an
cient city for artistic background.
The title foreshadows a portion of
the love interest in the story, one
of the heroines being a lady in the
Indian summer" of her life. 1t
was from this story that Mr.. How
ell's read the amusing account of
the haps and mishaps at dancing
party of a man who don't dance,
which excited so much in
terest at the recent authors in
New York in behalf of international
copyright.

The city Of Buffalo enjoys the
distinction of having given to the
country two presidents, Willard
Fillmore and Grover Cleveland. It
is usually thought of as a modern
and rather unpicturesque city, but
a paper which is to appear in the
July number of Harper's Magazine
will correct this mistaken impress
sion. 1t is one of the brilliantly il
Illustrated papers on leading Ameri-
can cities which that magazine has
been giving, and it is understood
that a paper on Hartford will come
later in the year. The article will
have four full page illustrations,
one of them a reproduction by the
engraver of a remarkable photo
graphic study of the Buffalo eleva-
tors, extraordinary in its artistic eff
fects. Others are a general view of
Buffalo, two interesting studies of
children at the Creche or day nurs-
cry there by Mrs. Jessie Curtis
Shepherd. views of old fort Erie,
Falconwood, Delaware Avenue, etc.
The artist is likely to attract very
general attention elsewhere as well
as in Buffalo itself.

Another of the promised articles
on the great industries of America
will be given in the July Harper's,
the subject this time being the max
ing of "A Silk Dress" The Phila-
deIphia ladies of the "Women's
Silk Culture Association" who are
endeavoring to promote the grow
ing of silk worms in this country,
speak of it as Americas new in
dustry," but as a matter of fact
silk growing was attempted in the
new world soon after its discovery,
and all through our colonial history
schemes in this direction were nu
merous. The morris nauItscugSs ma

binary out-burst of the silk-fever,
and some amusing stories are told
of it. There is now little silk grow
ing in this country, but silk manu-
featuring has become a leading in
dustry, so that more than a third
of all the silks worn in this country
are made here. The Harper paper
will sdescribe each step -.in the
process of manufacture, with many
illustrations, and ladies may learn
from it something as to the differ
ences between good and bad silk
which may help them in their shop
ping.

Harper's July number will be
largely. an out of door number.
Frequenters of Mt. Desert will be
