iit NVtttul dSsiLlIlt lSN dDOul tb print q serial which will have an espe- cial interest to people who are at home on the prai1ies. It is called The Biog- raphy of a Prairie Girl and the au- thor is Eleanor Gates. q young woman who spent her childhood in South Da- kota and who thus writes from the closest personal observation.
 The time of Miss Gates story is about z5 years ago; it is put in the form Of q personal narrative of the lie of a iit tie girl, and there is hardly d phase CT event of prairie life which is net touched upon in these pages.-the bliz- gard. breaking colts. horse stealing by Indians, school days on the frontier. fighting gophers and badgers. cattle raising and other typical phases of hardship CT prosperity.
 Il is not a novel. but the same char acters appear and reappear in the story with a reality which inlpresses the reader with confidence in the truth of the narrative.
 The Biography of a Prairie Girl" will begin in the August number Of the Century and it will be illustrated.
 The July number of the Garden of the Gods Magazine. published at Col orad0 Springs, is proof Of the sin cerity of the publishers promise that the magazine was to be representative of all good things in the west.
 The central aim of the Garden of the Gods is to devote it's pages largely to the advancement of interesting and profitable knowledge of western life and scenery: and to further this, TO effort will be spared to accumulate val ! Ia i.,l .,r, in, egiN- ing q presentation as possible.
 The July number is beautifully illus trated and very attractive in it's con tents.
 What makes the happy relation be tween man and woman. is an eter- naHy interesting question and a clever discussion of why Tarri2g ges fail, pre- sented by Rafford Pyke in his article The Woman's Side" is certain to re- ceive the very wide consideration Which has been given to that authors previous articles on the discussion of woman versus man. The July Cosmc- politdn seems to be almost equally di- vided in interest between men and women. An Experiment in Domestic Finance" is another entilely- novel ar ticl5 which will apeal to women, while some twenty pages devoted to the Captains Of Industry will receive the consideration of men in all classes of business.
 Hereafter the International Monthly viii be issued in quarterly form. The quarterly will be more than dcutle in size and number cf articles of the monthly; the type pages and margins will b. enlarged approximately; and to the list Of notable articles in each number there will be added two new departments. the one devoted to q crit icism or the more important works of current literature. the other t. the drama and fine art. There will be no change in the editorial direction, and the political chronicle by James B. :. Bishop will be continued.
 The change from monthly to quar- terly form broadens the scope of the International and increases its value and attractiveness. The International , Quarterly is t0 be issued in September. and sold by subscription, four dollars yearly. single numbers one dollar and q quarter The International Quarterly Wili complete all current subscriptions to the International Monthly

 "Monsigny," by Justus Miles For man. is the novelette, with which the l August number of The Smart Set 1 opens. This is powerful love story. and one in which the dramatic interest
 grows steadily from the first page to
 the last. The story's setting is a beau

 pio5lnS romantic surroundings for a
 series of happenings that are both
 strange and absorbing "Monsigny"
