From Hippo Hunting on Lake
Nyassa" to Sport in British Colum-
bis" the September "Wide World
Magazine" covers a tremendous
amount of territory in its articles
and stories. Charles F. Saunders re-
Iates his two weeks experience
among the Navajo Indians; Douglas
Carruthers continues his "Adven-
lures in Unknown Arabia, while a
second article on The Ruined Cities
of Yucatan" increases ones interest
in that mysterious part of the world.
Henry Hale tells the romantic story
of how an American boy became a
King. A Hungarian Village Wed
ding" contains much to charm the
lover of romance and is, moreover,
very attractively illustrated. Mrs.
Maturin continues her Caravan
Tour" and there are many stories of
adventure and hairbreadth escapes.
The Strand Magazine" for Sep
TENDER contains stories by two of the
most popular fiction writers of the
day Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and w
W. Jacobs. The former, entitled
1.-The Terror of Blue John Cap is
written with the well-known author S
customary tragic power, while Mr..
Jacobs story, Watch Dogs" is
one of the funniest yarns he has yet
written. Seven other stories are con-
tributed by well-known writers.
The articles are all on interesting
topics. The editor suggests an excel
lent method .of celebrating the ap-
preaching centenary of Charles Dick
ems. In view of the fact that many
of the celebrated authors descendants
are in comparatively poor ciccum-
stances the Strand" proposes that
the celebration should take the form
of a gigantic testimonial TO which
the entire world might contribute.
This might be carried out by the pub
LEGATION of a two-cent stamp which
everyone who owns a copy of Dick
ems might affix to the volumn. Other
articles in the September Strand
include Fancy Diving for Women, "
by Serene Nord The Old Man,
project for novel newspaper; an in
teresting account of the Nautical AL
manac and a statistical article on d.
vorce.
The September Smart Set" mag
azine comes out this month in en-
larged form. E. Phillips Open
helms latest novel. Havoc" be-
gins publication in this number. OPP
penheim is probably the most widely
read novelist today, and his work is
in big demand. Havoc" is his new
est Offering, and the Smart Set"
will run it in the next seven or more
numbers. The plot concerns a young
American newspaper correspondent,
an English diplomatic agent and
beautiful singer of the Vienna opera
house, whose efforts to get at the
inside workings of Austrian political
conditions give rise to thrilling adj
ventures. Wyndhan Martyr follows
up his successful book, THE Man Out
side" with another and equally in
teresting romance which forms the
complete novel in this issue of the
Smart Set" This is the story of a
Virginia girl who goes to PARIS to
study for a musical career. Her adj
ventures with a studio in New York
and later in Florence, where, during
a short tour of Italy, she falls in
with a Russian countess who is in
danger of being fleeced by fine pair
of American sharpers, form highly
interesting story. In The Interest
ing Englishman" Carl S. Hansen, tells
why some American girls prefer to
seek husbands "across the pond" in
stead of among their own hard work
ing countrymen.
