LippiHcOtt's Monthly Magazine.

The Experience Meetings i'm Iippin-
colts Magazine have proved among the
most popular Of recent innovations in
magazine literature. Few articles have
been more widely read and more freely
quoted than the literary confessions OF
Julian Hawthorne, Ella Wheeler Will
cox. Joel Chandler Harris, Edgar Faw-
cett, joaquin Miller, etc, and the ex-
periances of Mrs. James Brown Potter,
John NJ. Ward, l.. +. Myers, and other
professional or amateur celebrities.
Encouraged by this success. the editor
has determined, by dropping the fiction
of an Experience Meeting and placing
the articles in the body of the period
ical, to give each author the privilege of
celebrating at his pleasure, instead OF
conlining himself within the limits Of a
special department. The experiences
i'm the September number Of the Maya
zine are furnished by Brander Mat
thews, in Random Recollecti0ns" Of
his literary career" and by John Bau-
mann i'm Experiences Of w-Boy,"
both interesting bits Of autobiography.
1t is announced that papers Of similar
character have been secured from Walt
! Whitman, George Parsons Lathrop,
.Lotta," Robert j. Burdette, Clara
Barton, +. T.. Roe, II. Ii. Boyesen, II.
III. Stoddard. George Alfred Townsend,
and many others. Taken by Siege"
the anonymous American serial, which
has excited 50 much attention and
curiosity, is concluded. "A Bachelor s
Blunder," by w. L. Norris, is con-
tinued and is as charming rs ever. j.
5. of bale has an exquisite story en-
titled "Our Consul at Car,sruhe.' Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, one OF the most
earnest hackers Of the Keely Motor
Company, gives the reasons for the
faith that is in her. W. III. Babcock,
in Carols and Child-Lore at the
Capital" continues his studies in
juvenile folklore. There are poems
by Edgar Fawcett, louise Chandle,
MouIton, and Clinton Scollard. In the
Monthly Gossip, Lady from Ph!la'
delphia" argues with great deal OF
wit and cleverness that woman was
created the superior Of man.
