What's in McCIure's.

McClure's for April has the freshness
and cheerfulness of spring. You will
want to read it all. Its articles, stories
and verses, have rare charm for the
shortening evening. Mary Stewart
Cuttings SYMPHONY in Coal" which
heads the table of contents, is another
of those fascinating, sympathetic stor-
les of married life. The most hair
raising chapter of adventure that has
been published in long time is the
sixth instalment of Carl Schurz's IRE
miniscences of Long Life" "Rescuing
Kinkel from Spandau Jail" is a story
of intrigue and hair breadth chances in
the shadow of the gallows, told with
the happy swing of youth, that holds
you from first word to last. Best of
all it is true. "Some Diet Delusions"
by DR.. Wood Hutchinson, is not only
amusing; it has very definite purpose
it scares away the old bogies. After
you have read it, you will eat square
meal with clear conscience. Perhaps
the most timely paper in the number
is Percival Gibbons sketch of Count
Witte, who is the crux of the situation
in Russia. Clara Morris contributes
another charming chapter of reminis.
cences of the world behind the curtain,
through which walk many of the old
actors and actresses of our early days.
