Harper's, for November, is an extremely
bright and interesting number. An ans
mated story of Washington life, by Mrs.
Harriet Prescott Spohord, appears under
the title "A Thanksgiving Breakfast"
With a delightful mingling of the humOr-
Gus and pathetic elements, Mrs. Spohord
has succeeded in bringing out the strong
contrast between the old Washington res-
ident, to whom a change in the national
administration is of no Importance, ana
the transient dweller at the national cap:
tai, interested in politics and in making
a living. Mr.. owen Wisters story, "A
Pilgrim on the Gila," is said to be a record
of fact, with only a gauzy envelope Of
fiction to give it literary form. NeVerthe-
less, 1t is the longest story that Mr. Wister
has attempted up to the present time.
As a glimpse of border life it ranks easily
with his best work. The short stories have
a strongly American flavor, with the ex-
ception of Julian Ralphs study of Chinese
life, which he calls "Plumblossom Bee
be's Adventures" That is tale of the
relations between an English husband and
an oriental wife at a great treaty port.
