Christmas Number of Frank LesIie's
Popular Monthly.
The Christmas number of Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly is already out, and will
hardly be surpassed in richness and
beauty of pictorial illustration, or in
seasonable variety of literary contents,
by any thing that may follow during the
holiday season. The opening article,
upon "Heroines and Heroine Worship"
| affords vehicle for nearly q score of ex-
quiste reproductions from the old and
modern master painters. A similar op-
pOrtunity is found in the intensely poetic
story, by A. Cressy Morrison, of "The
Man who Resembled Christ" which in
addition is illustrated with some original
drawings of rare delicacy. In "The City
OF Dordrecht," George c. Hattie fairly
revels in the picturesque, giving us eight
OF his lOveliest aquarelles. The great
literary feature OF the number is Tolstoi's
latest story, Master and Man" specially
translated from the Russian for Frank
| Leslie's Popular Monthy, and illustrated
by Fogarty. A charming novelty is ga
Daughter of the Samurai," by Teiich
Yamagata, being an -to-date japanese
love story written in English by a Jap
anese author. Amongst other contribu
tions deserving special mention are
'Heroines of Chivalry," by Mrs. Frank
Leslie; Literary Boston," by Lillian
Whiting; "The st. Nicholas Society,"" by
Wifi. P. Pond" GLOW the Wilkes Joined
the Four Hundred" by A. Oakley Hall
and ga Legend of Jeanne dare" THE
latter being poem by Francois Coppee
