THE MAGAZINES.
| A famous man is always interesting
! when he tells how he did the thing which
brought him his reputation, and there is a
! particular charm about Frank Il. Stock
! tons narrative, which opens the Novem-
Der Ladies' Home Journal, of how he con-
! ceived and wrote his famous story, THE
| Lady or the Tiger what came of its
writing, and the condition of his own
mind at the present time of the correct
! solution Of the story The inner person
aliJy of Mr. Howells has, perhaps, never
been brought so close to his public as in
| the many-Sided sketch of the novelist
which Prot. II. Fl. Boyesen writes Of him
in this number of the magziue, under the
| title of MI HOWells at Close Range. ="
| Few clcrgYmen in New York know SOci-
| ETY. and its leaders better than does the
! Rev. Morgan Dix, d. D., of Trinity
| church, and his portrayal OF The Society
| Woman of To-Day is as strong as it is
| authoritative. Amelia D. Barr also has
a strong article in answering the ques-
| ton, "Why Do Not Literary Women
| Marry which Octave Thanet cleyerly
| supplements in a brief article But They
Do Marry Robert j. Burdettc Is at his
best in pointing out what, in his opin-
ion, is The Task-Mistress of Wo-
men," while Will Carleton suggests
| his best poems in Captain Young's
| Thanksgiving, which is accompanied by
a characteristic illustration by Alice Bar
ber~~tephens. Eugene Field is exquis
| itely dainty in a new poem, shuttle
| ShOOn and Amber-Locks, - while Nathan
! iel Hawthorne's daughter, Mrs Lathrop,
displays her hereditary gifts in a story,
How Love Can Hide" Palmer Cox has
| his funny brownies in the polar
! regions, while the various editors seem at
their brightest in this number in discuss
ing every phase of a woman's practical
life. With this number the Journal is
! ten years old, and the issue is made, in a
| sense, a jubilee. An interesting illustra-
| ted sketch Of the history of the magazine
| is happily given the number being
| clothed in a decorative panel cover by A.
B. Wenzeli, an excellent piece of work
| which that artist has not exceeded for
! drawings. To be only ten years old and
| nave a circulation of 100000 copies each
| mOnth-the largest circulation now in the
| worlds, in a few words, the wonderful
| record of the Ladies' Home Journal. But
| it is deserved. The Journal is published
| by The Curtis Publishing Company, at
| Philadelphia, for ten cents per issue or
one dollar per year.

tertaininglY of THE Bayou Teche, -
which flows through Acadian Louisiana,
