number of Harpers is story by George
du Maurier, the author of one of the most
successful of recent novels, a. well a. the
most distinguished of living caricaturists.
The new story is called "Trilby," after its
principal female character, q model in

Latin Quarter, whose life of forty years ago

the story, and their life and adventures
constitute its chief interest. "Trilby" is
said by persons who have read it to be .
worthy successor to "Peter Ibbetson." 1t is
illustrated from many drawings by Mr..
DuMaurier.

Egypt and Chaldea are treated in an able
article by w. St. Chad Boscawen. William
Elliot Griffis writes most charmingly of the
