WITH THE MAGAZINES
The June Smart Set.

"On the Newport Road" is the attrac-
tive title of the novelette, which opens the
June Smart Set. sewell Ford is the au-
thor. and he has written as sprightly
piece of fiction as has recently appeared.
The story tells of Mrs. Billy Redkirk
social ambitions, her desire that her
daughter, Barbara, may make a brilliant
marriage the sudden loss of the Redkirk
millions. and their ultimate recovery. The
tale is comedy from first to last-bright,
Clean clever comedy-and no reader can
afford to miss it.
Thirteen remarkably original short
stories viii be found in the June number.
One in particular, THE Ending of the
Play" is so absorbing in its dramatic
interest and so startling in its denoue-
ment that it will cause no slight discus
sion. Moreover, II introduces a new au-
thor to the public, Henry Sydnor Harri-
son. In James Stiles, Widower,' Ger
trude Lynch has again written one of her
subtle character studies. 1t is a story
with scarcely a word of dialogue, yet it
holds the reader from the very opening
paragraph. Equally clever, yet in wholly
different vein, is L. H. Bickford's The
thieving Wallets clever methods in rob-
bling society folk. Edwin L. Sabin is
known chiefly as a writer of vers de
societe, but he has contributed a powerful
story to this issue, which he has called
THE Mountain Cabin" Other writer's
who are represented by their finest work
are Edith Rickert Roland Franklin An
drews, Anne OHagan, Harry Arthur
Thompson and Anna A. Rogers
For the June Smart Set the distinguish
ed impresario, Heinrich Conried, has writ
ten an important article which he has en-
titled, THE Art of Giving Grand OPERA"
and In which he discusses freely. from the
managerial standpoint. the present out
look for opera in New York. 1t is an
Illuminating essay. forceful and valuable.
The poetry of the June issue is unusually
meritorious. Bliss Carman tells a charm
