NOTES.

Book NewS.-John Wanamaker, the great
merchant of Philadelphia, is the publisher of
one of the bri ghtest literary periodicals. 1t is
called the Book NeWS, and appears monthly
with % large pages printed on fine heavy
paper. Mr. w. Ii. Arnold the head of Wan
amakers immense book and periodical depart
ment, is the editor, and he does his work with
care and skill. 1t is most delightful and sat-
isfactory compendium of the literature of the
month.
Godey's Lady's Book for March presents strong
attractions. Besides the steel-pate illustration
of the story, Another Alternative" there is a
very pretty wood cut and a novel colored work
design. A new story by Miss ROllston, called
jamie" opens in this number; Under Gray
Skies progresses toward an interesting eli
max, and Helen Mather's Directing of the
Weird reaches satisfactory finale. "No Mo-
tive" strong story, by NJ. K. Housekeeper, is
one of the unsuccessful MSS. entered for the
prize competition. Mrs. V. Shelley Haller's
laughable charade, Dining Room," is con-
cluded this month and several new departures
are made in the editorial columns.
