 The Christmas number of The Delineator is about the first of the speical Christmas issues. It is a beauty. The cover is a most artistic production, showing a beautifully gowned woman, standing gracefully in brilliantly lighted salon. Two charming love stories, one by Cyrus Townsend Brady, plenty of advice re- garding Christmas gifts, timely pointers on cookery, winter-time care of plants, all the fashions of the day interpreted into simple language can be found in the Christmas number of The Delineator. It is a splendid magazine, satisfactory inside and out. There is no magazine for women at present published that is more prac- tical in all its pages. As Xmas gift itself, it bears its own recom- mendation.
 A newspaper, whose columns over flow with advertisements of business men, has more influence in attracting attention to building up town than any other agency that can be employ ed. People go where there is busi- ness. Capital and labor go where there is an enterprising community. No power on earth is so strong to build up a town so well as a newspa- per we'll patronized, and its power should be appreciated. The man who overlooks his town paper injures him self by injuring his town and towns man.-John Wanamaker.

 Chas. w. Chase's dramatic version of Quo Vadis, the master work of Henry Sienkiewcz, the Polish TO- mancer, which will be one of the most important productions of the season. The wonderful popularity of the book, the strength of the cast which is to enact the play, the in- evitable comparison with Ben Hur, which, as a dramatic spectacle has been triumphantly presented at the Brooklyn theatre in New York, both plays dealing with the birth of Chris tianity and both being of a semi-re- ligious character, the promise of splendid setting for the actors to play in, and the general interest in new and untried dramatic enterprise all tend to make this an event. Man ager Benedict has spared no expense in putting the drama on the stage, and hopes to win triumph with its production. Scenically the play is interesting, eight scenes having been built for its production. One of the best performances seen in years is promised. At Dake's opera house Nov. p.
