writer's in this issue are Edward Everett
Hale, Maude Radford Warren, Cyrus
Townsend Brady, Marion Hamilton Car
ter, Mary Hastings, Ernestine Winchell,
Georgia Wood Psngborn, friedrich M.
Smith, Marion Hill, Annie Hamilton

stories are illustrated by prominent
artists among whom are f. C. Yohn and
John Cecil Clay. Naturally, much is
said about weddings in this June issue.
