literary NEWS AND NOTES.

ASPECTS of the Pan-American Ex-
position" are wildly depicted in the
July Atlantic by Eugene Richard White,
who does full Justice both to the physi-
cal features and the social significance
of the Exposition.
Misses Rebecca S. and Sarah J. Clarke
Sophie May and Penn Shirley have
returned to their summer home in
.Norridegwock, after winter in Cal
ifornia. The Misses Clarke find plenty
of interesting material in the scenery
and among the little folks of California,
for their juvenile books.
The first magazine article written by
NJ Loubet since he became President
of the French Republic will appear in
The Saturday Evening Post for July 10.
This important paper, entitled Young
Men and the Republic after touching
upon our pleasant relations with the
French Republic. continues with a
significant reference to the attitude of
France toward other Powers. The
mastery summing up with which the
article concludes is fine expression of
the strong republican spirit which
reigns in France to-day.
The July Atlantic contains a very
notable group of out door poems by
John Burroughs, Duncan Campbell
Scost, Meredith Nicholson, L. S. Porter,
Richard Burton, Arthur ketchum,
Wjnfred Campbell, and Joseph Russell
Taylor Several stories and sketches
also emphasize the return to nature
which more and more characteriZes the
American people in the summer time.
One of the best known among the
magazines of fashions is the Delinea-
tor The July number is now issued
and fairly outshines all former numbers,
as 1t not only gives the numerous
fashion plates as usual, but las the Pan
American exhibition cuts, many of
them beautifully colored, and two short
stories by good writers, fashion notes,
fancy work, household matters, re-
views of latest books, ETC., etc, making
a number of superior excellence.
The publishers of The Smart Set de-
clare the July number of that magazine
Gus numbers, and the opinion is one in
which readers will doubtless concur.
There is not heavy line in all the 100
pages, but the number scintillates with
smart humor that is as eXhilarating to
the heated brain as rollicking ocean
breeze. The literature of blood and of
mud has no place in The Smart Set,
but all its fiction is of that vivaciouS
and enchanting character so hard to
write, so easy to read, SO rarely found
in periodicals and so refreShingly
enjoyable to the amuSement-lOving
world. AS a magazine of real enter
talnment The Smart Set has no rival.
