BROKEN STATUES"
Julien Gordon's New Story Which Begins In
January Smart Set.

Julien Gordon MRS Van Rensselaer,
Cruger) contributes the leading story
to the January Smart Set, and the
year 1897 begins auspiciously for that
brilliant periodical. Mrs Cruger calls
her novelette, "Broken Statues" and
no finer piece of work has come from
her pen. She knows the world thor
oughly and her people are real human
beings. The greater part Of the scenes
are laid on shipboard and the author
finds opportunity to enrich her story
with many touches Of exquisite humor.
Few writer's of the day have such o
wide audience as Jack London and in
his story, "When God Laughs" In this
number of The Smart Set, he cells what
is perhaps his most powerful tale. The
story is remarkable in many ways.
