D. Sherman, who points out some of the beauties of ca noeing down the Connecticut; D. s. Nasby's account of "A Camp at St. Clairs Flats:' Climbing the High Alps" by George D. Abraham, with hints for mountaineering and its equip- ment-where and how to climb, and The Automobile as a Means of Coun- try Travel" H. P. Burchell, with drawings by Edward Penfeld. In an interview in the Theatre MagA azine for August Sam Bernard gives his opinion of women as keen appreoia- tors of subtle humor. Says this well known comedian:
 Lady audiences are all right, but | the humor has to be made simple for | them. There has to be a great deal of | talk about horse play in theatres.

Not having much of a sense of humor women have to be helped to laugh by the most obvious means. l remember matinee at Prov idence that seemed hopeless. We did our best to make them laugh, but we didn't get a smile. Every woman sat straight as a ramrod, with an I've got to do my duty expression. It made me desperate.

Recreation is magazine that is filled with good, wholesome and en- tertalning reading on just the subject from which its name is taken, and the fact that it is edited by the famous Dan Beard is in itself guarantee of it's quality.
 Human Life for August contains an interesting account of the life of Cover nor Douglas of Massachusetts, entitled: From Cobbler's Bench to Governors Chair written by Nathaniel Fowler, Jr. Alfred Henry Lewis continues his remarks on "The Man-fishing of Life Insurance,'t and there are many short | articles of a Biographical mature on men and women prominent in the pub lie eye.
 Waiting for Bite" is the apt title of the front page picture of the Au- gust American Boy, bringing a vision of cooling breezes, sandy shores,

 which a boy for a prize triumphantly
 rides notorious butter" will be read with delight.
