Cosmo Hamilton is the author of "a
Sense of Humor," the novelette, which
opens the July number of the Smart

written with admirable art, and will be
refreshing to read on a summer dav.
An article by Sir Gilbert Parker, M.

The most sensational feature any
American magazine has captured in
years is Thomas w. Lawson's "F'ren-
