is SO useful, trustworthy and informing
a magazine that we wish it could be
read by every municipal official in the
land. We would assuredly have more
economic and generally better gov
erned cities as a result. The magazine
covers broad ground, legal definitions
and decisions affecting cities, drainage,
lighting, sewering, machinery, paving,
contracting, park care, water works.

leading papers this month we find

May Irwin has done more to popu-
1ariZe negro songs than any other per-
son. She is the mother of two sons old
enough to be at college, and far from
trying to aid her stage popularity by
concealing this fact she is particularly
proud of her boys. This pleasing rela-
tionship is expatiated upon in the sec
ond series of Stars Seen by Day. in

Apropos of the interest excited by the
conquest of Omdurman by Kitchener
the article on 1.-TWO Sudanese Heroes" ="
containing sketches and portraits of
General Gordon and Slatin Pasha, is
timely. Following this are two short
stories. 1.-THE Turning of the Tides" a
tale of a womans life on a Nebraska
farm, and "'Twixt Shore and Shore"
a story of adventure. The usual attrac-
tive page of illustrations From the
Plays of the Month embraces scenes
from "Phroso,'' Nathan Hale" and
'"The Ragged Earl and the table oe
contents concludes with two character
sketches, For the Shanty' and Lost
Opportunities and the ever welcome

are profusely illustrated. The music

"Harper's Bazar." in addition to the
fashion columns and the regular de-
partments, gives a personal account of
the Queen of Holland and her future
husband that is of more than ordinary
interest. Margaret Hamilton Welch
discusses the Womens Clubs of Brook
lyn in her department. Another valu-
able article is THE Federation of Day
Nurseries" and of special interest is an
article on "The Toilet-How to Keep
Young"
The "Woman's Home Companion" for
February (Springfeld. o. is a gem of
excellence in literary features and me-
chanical execution. An article by Ed

American Girl Who Leads an Empire.
Carina B. G. Eaglesfield's paper, "A
Plea for an American Salon." deals
with a mooted question. The page of
photographs illustrating TYPES of Old

tive, is an interesting study of race
characteristics; likewise the illustrated
article on Oriental Representatives in

brated by a page of valentine poetry.
