IN CURRENT MAGAZINES

III - l. l
The outing Magazine for November
gives prominence to the automobile and
the topics allied with it's present re-
markable vogue in American life. The
interesting manner in which this i'm
portant subject is handled in the mag
azine is made plain by some of the arti-
cles. The Automobile Industry IN
America by David T. Wells, is a pop
ularly written account of the autos
small beginnings, of the difficulties
scored. "An Intimate Excursion," by
Frank Presbrey, is a charming account
of a journey in an automobile along the
old Normandy roads of France. 1t
much resembles the delightful narra-
! tives of Bayard Taylor in the intimacy
with which it pictures out-of- the-way
scenes and people. 'The Spanish Ban
dit and the Motor Car" will provide the
reader with an admirable idea of ways
and methods of motoring in Spain. 1t
is written by Louise Closson Hale and
| is illustrated wits some delightful
drawings by Walter Hale. Motoring
to the jamestown Exposition" describes
an interesting trip in this country and
| incidentally pictures our crying need
| for good roads. The topic of better
highways, whose need has been empha-
| sized by the spread of the automobile
| is forcefully discussed by well known
authority, W. Pierrepont White under
the title of Good Roads for the Peo-
| ple"
| The current number of Uncle Remus'
Magazine has a cover design most ap-
| propriate to the season. for 1t represents
| Il rabbit in furious flight a.. though seek
| in to escape from an unseen hunter. But,
urlike the regulation rabbit fleeing from
| the November hounds, this one bears
| shield of Unc.e Remus' Magazine
| clasped close to his breast and is clothed
ii the garb Of man. 1t is not difficult
| to imagine that he made good his escape
| from the unseen foe and Joined, some
where in the distance, his well-known
ccmrades-Brer Fox and Brer Bari
! The drawing is by r. j. Dean and is
| full of movement life and artistic grace
The contents of the magazine fully sus-
| tain the interest created by it's outside
page, and It's table Of contents shows
| such well-known literary names of Joel
| Chandler Harris, Don Marquis, Frank L.
| stanton, Mary r.. Bryan and Jacques
Futrel1e.
| A feature of especial interest is brand
| rev Uncle Remus story, which tells how
''Brer Rabbit Has Trouble with the
Moon" Like the cover, this story also
| is illustrated by r. ]. Dean and the at
tractive drawing lends added charm to
the delightful tale.
| The Theatre Magazine for November is
a most attractive number, being filed
with many splendid pictures and numer-
Gus articles of timely interest Grace
Livingston Furniss, the successful drama
tist of 1.-The Pride of Jennico,' "The Man
on the Box" etc., tells an interesting
story of her early struggles to get play
accepted, and May Robson, the success
full character actress, in another part of
| A
ing account Of her stage beginnings. There
is an article giving an account of how
| Denman Thompson wrote that stage
| classic, 1.-THE Old Homestead and Henry
| P. Goddard the veteran critic, writes in
reminiscent vein of Edwin Booth, Edwin
| L. Davenport, Rose Coghlan and other
well known players whom he has known
intimately. The German Theatre is the
subject of another important article, and
| Henry Tyrrell describes the personality
and work of Judge Malone, dramatist
| that the American stage will soon hear
from. The opening of the opera season
furnishes opportunity for an elaborate
display of pictures, accompanied by COM
petent text, and the regular departments
are up to the usual standard.
The opening chapters of new novel,
Though Life Us Do Part" by Eliza
beth Stuart Phelps, is the feature of the
| Woman's Home Companion for Novem-
| ber. The announcement of new story
by the author of "a Singular Life is
always agreeable, and this new novel
| gives promise of being one of Mrs. Wards
best
| Under the title do You Know Your
Grocer?" the editor makes some very tell
| ing comments on grocery conditions
throughout the country that every house
wife will read with interest.
| George Allan England contributes a
most amusing French Canadian story to
the Red Book Magazine for November
The title, John Quixote," gives no clew
| to the broad humor of the story which is
cor cerned with the unavertable heroism
| of jumping Frenchman." story of
| considerable power and singular literary
| felicity is "1he Painted Wilderness, by
Will Lexington Comfort, name rapidly
| becoming familiar to magazine readers
| and another narrative of delicate charm
| is Monsieur Parapluie," by Kate Arms
| Porter Emerson Browne, much of whose
| best work ha sappeared in the Red Book
| Magazine has in the November number
| a touching little story of street gamins
| tenderness, and Caroline Lockhart con-
| tributes a mirthful account OF tourist
guides narrowing adventures while con-
Quoting a party through the Yellow
| stone.
| The November issue of Suburban
Life is an especially attractive NUM-
ber. 1t opens with a THANKSGIVING
poem by Mrs. Martha McCulloch-Wil
| liams and contains among other at
tractive articles one by Hilda Ward on
"The Automobile in the Suburbs from
| a Woman's Point of View" Other
Illus trated features are The Little
Brown Man as Suburban servant,
which contains an interesting account
of the growing usefulness OF the Jap
as a general house servant, and an ar
ticle describing Kenilworth, one or Chr
cagos most beautiful suburbs. These
are only a few of the contents, but they
serve to show the general interest OF
| the magaZine.
