nous amount of hard, honest labor put
into every number, and which have most
heartily recommended it to their readers.
While working in the closest CO. operation
with the English Review of Reviews, edit
ed by Mr.. W. T. Stead in London, the
American Review is a distinct magazine,
wholly and entirely edited printed and
published in New Y ork, and in the fullest
sense of the word as much an American
periodical as Mr.. Steals London edition
is an English periodical. The general
aims and purposes, plans and methods,
of the two magazines are identical, and
each has the fullest access in advance to
all the materials and illustrations prepar-
ed for the other. The American Review,
being somewhat larger and higher priced,
Is more profusely illustrated 1t has 20
or 80 more pages each month than the
London edition.

Mr.. William Henry Bishop begins his Sc
ries of papers on An American at Home
in Europe in the April number of the At
lantic Monthly. His first chapter is on
blouse Hunting and House Keeping in
Brittany, Paris. and the Suburbs OF
Paris. The paper is most interesting,
written in lively style, and with all the
thousand ''points'' which a person who
lives abroad can give to those who do not
live there but who wish to do SO. An
toinette Ogden paper, "a Drive through
the Black Hills is worth a careful read
