The July Smart Set.

Gertrude Atherton never writes az
uninteresting story. Her novel, THE
Travelling Thirds" which opens the
July Smart Set, is a particularly strik-
ing piece of work, full of brilliant dia-
logue and exquisite bits of descrip-
ton. The tale concerns the adVen-
lures of a party of Americans who
travel through Spain third class, in
order that they may come into close
contact with the people of that coun-
try. The heroine, Catalina Shore, is as
independent. as original. as refreshing
as the authors famous Patience Spar
hawk The love story in "The Travel
ing Thirds" is delightful, and the SEN
sational denouement is one of the most
dramatic scenes which Mrs. Atherton
has ever written. The Smart Set has
published a long line of novelties
which have lived a far greater length
of time than the usual magazine story.
but Mrs. Atherton's latest piece of fic-
ton will win even more lasting
measure of praise.
