The Smart Set. The story is entitled
lone Mans Hour" and is purely ro-
mantle tale, full of action and adven-
ture. A young English publisher falls
in love with a beautiful American girl
and follows her to Paris, where the real
story begins. The remarkable incidents
which follow should cause the most
jaded reader to become enthusiastic.
iona Gale contributes to this issue
what is perhaps the most notable of her

with which magazine readers are happily

time with a story entitled The Ancient
Memory, "a most graphic piece of work.
j. Lee Matherson, "A hitherto unknown
writer, contributes The Spirit and the
