SCRIBNER,S

The December (Christmas) number

than the usual holiday flavor this
year. There are several Christmas
poems. and Henry vanDyke, in his
department known as Guide Posts
and Camp Fires" writes delightfully."-
OF christmas Greens. recalling the
old Yuletide customs OF England, and
asking the question, "Do you think
the World War has spoiled Christ
mas ?"-to which he emphatically re-
plies in the negative.
The number opens with an article
about Robert Louis Stevenson's Con
tribution to Literature and Life" by
Lauchlan MacLean Watt, author OF
"Hslls OF Home' and tStevenson's
Pentland Essays" He is the vice
president of the Stevenson Club, Ed
inburgh. The artdSle Irecalls Stew
enson's early days in Scotland and
presents charming picture Of
Stevenson's odd nurse, Cmnmie. to
whom he owed so much all his life.
Madame Waddintgton, who never
writes anything without special
and individual flavor. describes a
memorable winter in Algiers. This
article begins with a description OF
Christmas day. There are many
picturesque impressions OF the north
African people and background.
