One of the most interesting articles
of the month in American magazines
is "A Dinner Carriers School," which
Lenora Beck Ellis contributes to the
Pilgrim for February. That such work
as Mrs. Ellis describes is being done
in a mill workers school speaks
volumes for the good that may come
from the smallest effort. Clarence

writer, contributes a tenderly pathetic
tale to the Pilgrim for February. en-
titled "the Old Stage Driver" Every
one who cherishes a love for the conf
mon animals will be touched by this
simple, but wonderfully effective tale.

good things in the number. Forest

The National Review for February
has a number of articles which will
be read in this country with genuine
interest. The article by retired Off

worth reading. The National Review,

Timeliness Of the articles is the chief
characteristic of the articles in the
February number of Everybody's Mag

character of the Czar of Russia, by
Arnold White, the well-known English
publicist who is one OF the few men
outside the Empire familiar with the
conditions actually prevailing in Rus
sian court circles. In the same num-
ber is an article on 81. Pierpont Nor

three articles are as entertaining as
