The July Lippincott's Magazine.

Two years ago Llppincott's Maga-
sine published "Complete Novel"
called "The Lifting OF a Finger"
which made a decided hit. The July
number now contains another novel
from the same pen, that OF Ina
Brevoort Roberts. Like its prede.
cessoi, "The Pretenders" is a tale Of
modern society treated with the same
brightness and charm, yet showing a
great advance in the handling of deli
cate situations and subetes in plot.
Mrs. Roberts surely has the gift for
"making love-" Those who are "in
the game" say she does it just right.
For a journey on cars or boat this
story is an ideal pastime.
All the short stories iu the July
Lippincott's are suited to the "good
old summertime" when one is not
ashamed to confess he wants some.
thing not solid but entertaining.
After the novel there is a touching
little tale of girl to whom a passing
filtration on the mans side means
eternal remembering on hers. She
can boast that "her mother had been
a Boston woman" too! Its title is
"The broken Vase" and its author,
Marcelle End;cott. Henry Wysham
Lanier, contributes "The Odyssey Of
,Piscator," fishing story. The sports
mans pursuit of his fascinating "Peri"
rivals that of his avowed sport and
makes of him quite globe-trotter.
Glrl-athletes of the present day have
very well.dehned ideas OF what comes
up to their standard in masculnity,
and woe betide the man who falls
short. "The Modern Sabine" by f
Ayrton, is an instance of this in which
the exacting heroine finds she has not
"exercised" her heart out of her BODY,
after all, and it joyfully asserts itself
in an unusal but no less convincing
manner. Agnes Louise Provost's
story called "Jacky" is cheerful evi-
dence of the theory that no man is
thoroughly bad. 1t is told with spirit.
The labor story by Edith Robinson,
called "The Vanderdonck Sandbank"
(where the scene is Schenectady, N
W, stands for right on both sides.
1t should be read by laborer and
capitalist, and by those in between,
because ii Is really good story. Ella
Middleton Tybout is becoming noted
for the excellent darky tales she fire.
quently contributes to Lippincotts,
called by the Editor "PArables in
Black" can Unwilling Delilah" ap-
pears in the July number.
The single exception to fiction in
the July Lippincott's is paper by
Maud Howe--a daughter of the vener-
able Mrs. Julia Ward Howe entitled
"A Roman Holiday" 1t gives init
mate details about housekeeping in
the Eternal City and is very interest
ing.
The verse in Lippincott's Magazine
for July seems to suggest moonlight
and all that goes with 1t. For jolly
outing or to drive away the blues at
