Literary Note,

"a Successful Man" is the title of
what is probably the brightest Amer
lean Story-typically American
which has appeared for many years.
1t is a story of life prominent in
fashion and in politics, written by a
member of New York's highest SO:
ciety who displays a genius as a writ.
er destined to make her name IA
mous--although she substitutes a
nom de plume for her own well
known one.
"a Successful Man. will appear in
two parts in the Cosmopolitan Mag
azine-the first in the September
issue-and is illustrated by Henry
McVickar, the drawings being made
from life from acting models who
were guests and servants at a Long
Island country house.
y high type of American politi-
tician-~a man having something of
the characteristics of q Blaine, with
a little of the Daniel Dougherty per-
haps-is brought by chance into the
society of a Newport married belle
one of those women mated to wealth
and manly beauty, with keen sym.
pathies unsatisfed by the intellectual
calibre Of her husband. Then comes
a careful study of a self.made sue
cessful American-of the society
girl of Newport drawn by one who
knows her perfectly at her best and
at her worst-of society not as it is
imagined but az 1t exists-of the
human heart by one who has evi.
IDENTIFY taken it in her hand and
watched it's every pulsation.
AT every page the story is bright
and clever, and we are much mis-
taken if it does not attract the
widest attention.
