The January "smart set''

Julien Gordon (Mrs. Yap Rens-

ing story to the January Smart Set,
and the year 1907 begins auspic-
iously for that brilliant periodical.
Mrs. Cruger calls her novelette,
"Broken Statutes" and no finer
piece of work has come from her
pen. She knows the world tho
roughly, 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
a wide audience as Jack London,
and in his story, "When God
Laughs" in this number of The
Smart Set, he tells what is perhaps
the most powerful tale, The story
