A pathetic side of the Christmas
holiday tide is revealed in an unus-
ually interesting illustrated article by
Harry Beardsly, in the current issue
OF Leslie Weekly, describing the work
which furnishes Christmas cheer for
the families of state prison convicts.
Other features of interest includes an
article on Tips: Their Givers and
Takers" by w. H. Brainerd; Chris
mas in the Sunny Southland" by Jane
A. Stewart; Beautiful Gowns and
Women Who Wear Them" by Flea
nor Franklin. The illustrations, for
the most part, are specially adapted
to the Christmas season, and includes
an attractive drawing by T. Dart
Walker, of THE Surprise after the
Christmas Service; How a Merry
Christmas Came" story without
words; The Salvation Army's Christ
mas Dinner in Chicago; The Height
of the Christmas Season in New
York" "a beautiful double page of
illustrations); the prize Photographic
contest, which will please the child
ren, and other features too numerous
to mention.
Containing a series of what might
be called expert evidence on fiction.
Clara Morris writes on "The Stage in
Books" in the January number Of The
Rea le' Magazine She writes as
she used to act, and has some very
plain words to say. "The Bishops
Carriage" serial which is by now
impatiently waited for,-carries on it's
keen witted heroine through lively
adventures, on the stage. behind the
scenes, and eleswhere,--but always
lively and absorbing. The only story
is one by Eugene R. White. which
laughably shows the disadvantages
that even a treasure of a servant may
have. Frederick Keppel, the we'll
known art dealer. tells amusing tales
of Whistler, who was both friend
and an enemy of his, and makes some
pointed comment on the artists
work and on his eccentric character
The January issue of the MetrOpoli-
tan Magazine is an extraordinary
number, as it contains both Christ
mas story as we'll as "A Christmas
Reverie," and is on the news stands
some days before Christmas.
| he Christmas Peace" by Thomas
Nelson Page, is the strongest mos
! appealing. most engaging short stor,
ever written by this undisputed mas
ter of fiction Like most OF Mr.. Page:
stories, the scene of this narrative II
laid in the South during the period o
reconstruction, and 1t glows witt
kindly philosophy and keen characte
portrayals. This story Is beautifull,
illustrated with drawings by Blendo'
Campbell.
The other Christmas contribution
"A Christmas Reverie." by Bliss Car
man. is written in the inimitable fash
ion which makes Mr.. Carman's writ
ing of such unusual literary impor
tance.
"The Confession of Wall stree
Private Secretary" bids fair to be
come one Of the literary events
1904. The writer, who holds the pos
ton Of private secretary to Wa
Street magnate. and signs herse
Jane Wade" shows remarkable II
sueht into the doings of the peop
who revolve around the country
financial centre. The story is told
serial form, and no one who reads II
initial chapters will fail to follow II
people who move in this stirriI
drama.
