begins the year with a table of con-
tents that justifies the opinion that

the very best in the country-that is,
they are men and women who have
established regulations in the field of
literature. Among them are such
names as George Cabot Lodge, Mary
Johnston, Ethel Wheeler, Bradford

Spencer Scott and many others.
Among the articles are "Recollections
of the Twentieth Century" The Out
going Tide" What Is the Real Eman-
oipation of Women" Some Southey
