November is Mark TwaIn's article "The
Dairy of a Voyage From India to South

b. Frost and Peter Newell. One might
expect much more than ordinary enter
tainment from any one of the three items
of pictures by Frost, pictures by Newell
and an 'Innocents Abroad" article by
Mark Twain, but the editors of ,McClure's,
in their profuslon, serve all three at once.
The Mark Twain article consists of chap
tiers from the forthcoming book on his re-
cent journey around the world, and Is the
only part that will be published in advance
of the book itself 1t follows, those that
have read 1t say, the earlier Mark Twain

(October). The high standard set by that
remarkable issue has been maintained, and
the November number is quite its equal in
every way.
There are one or two articles Of such
peculiar timeliness that their publication
in this number is a striking example of
editorial far-sightedness. The opening
contribution is nothing less than a review
of the new Life of Tennyson. Another ar
