citing. Short stories in this number

Footner. Owen Oliver and Mary Heat
on Worse.
The third part of "spains Royal
Love Story" by Kellogg Durland is

and homelike tale. Frank A. Waugh
opens our eyes, to the beauty of the
winter forest in an article entitled

valuable information concerning our

for the children, and "The Adventures
Of Jack and Betty form one of the
most enthralling Of little folks fsa-
lures. Miss Gould's Fashion Depart
ment is excellent with modish and
useful suggestions.

Japanese treaty, perhaps Secretary
Knox's most important achievement, a
White House dinner, at which all the
facts were laid before the members Of
the Committee on Foreign Relations In
absolute confidence, resulted. first, in a
friendly discussion, in which II was pos

Far-reaching Value Not Fully Ap-

From the New York Tribune.
Great as have been the diplomatic
achievements by the present Secretary
Of State. there is some reason to be-
lieve that he has not completely appre-
hender the far-reaching power Of do
mestic diplomacy. nor the persuasive
power OF good dinner and a rare vint-
age over high judicial body like the
Senate. Less sensitive than a woman's
honor only In degree Is the sensitiveness
Of the Senate where its constitutional
prerogatives are concerned. and nothing
proves quite so effective In allaying un-
due sensitiveness as the exercise OF that
hospitality which none can more grace
fully dispense than the Secretary Of
State.
