ways. The most important new feature
is the beginning Of Ernest Thompson

O very personal way, writes of"The Out
door President" and Helen Keller con
tinues the marvellous story OF her life.
The fiction features are Miss Portor's
"Those Days in Old Virginia." and the
first part of a delightful story by Grace
S. Richmond called "The Indifference
of Juliet.D Nellie Blanchan tells "How
the Birds Build Their Nests" and Will
Bradley shows the bnudoir of 1.-THE
Bradley House," MIR. Bok's editorial is
a fine bit of sarcasm aimed at the wise
New Workers., and Mr.. Mabie in his lit
erary talk deals with the reading habit
and several new books and writers of
note. There's no end of good and help
full advice and interesting facts in the
various departments, and the illustra-
