The troubles you have had with the usual shampoo have been due both to the means and the method. The ordinary shampoo removes much of the dust and dandruff, but also takes away the natural oils of the hair and scalp, leaving them dry and lifeless. Hand Sapolio by its special ingredients cleanses even more thoroughly than "special” preparations, and its delicate vegetable oils furnish a stimulating health and richness to the hair and scalp that make shampooing delightful and profitable. Hand Sapolio has made a new ^ quality to the Toilet, Bath and Shampoo. A FOR, TOILET AND BATH

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— BOOKS NEW HARPER BOOKS JACK AND THE CHECK-BOOK By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS Mr. Hangs turns his light and ingenious fancy to the task of retelling the familiar fairy tales of our youthful days. In several of them it is Wall Street that replaces the land of " Never-Never ” and “Once Upon a Time," and the personages in the drama are more interested in high finance than in fairy treasures. It is all admirable fooling, and done in the author's best vein. Illustrated by Albert Levering, umo, Chth, $/.oo net ESSENCE OF HONEYMOON Bro'binson •• When a married couple leave a hotel,” 1 said to Kuphemia, "the wife should walk quite independ¬ ently of the husband. You need not cling to me ” — " But I wasn't going to,” said Euphemia. " Walk straight on to the front door and strive to convey the impression that you are accustomed to having a husband around. ” Everybody who has ever indulged in a honeymoon will laugh over the delicious humor of the situations, and everybody who hasn’t been honeymooning would better steer clear of the book altogether — it is too fine, too dainty for the uninitiated.

MAXON PROTESTS By ANTHONY HOPE By the author of MARY CARY — and Mary herself it in it MISS GIBBIE GAULT By KATE LANGLEY BOSHER " A strong booh, most admirably written. " - Philadelphia Prew. This is pre-eminently Anthony Hope’s novel of modern life. In it he wittily and sympathetically expresses his inmost feeling about love and marriage and society. The crisp speeches remind one of “The Dolly Dialogues," but the theme i* much deeper. Here we see the real world of society, with its respectability, its narrowness, its curiously one-sidedand inconsistent codes of morality, as they look to a man so sensitive to the ro¬ mantic side of life as Anthony Hoj>e. Mrs. Maxon is married to a cold, stern man who doesn’t understand her. Finding that she can no longer endure her life with him, shedecides upon a separation. I.ater she is left in her false position. How she works out her destiny is a story of great human appeal. JH usl rati;l by R. F.

8 CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— PUBLICATIONS McCLURE’S MAGAZINE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM, RECALL TJURTON J. HENDRICK, of the McClure staff, has been spending several months on the Pacific Coast, studying the practical workings of progressive legislation. In the July McClure’s he will begin a series of articles giving the results of these investigations. The most interesting State in the Union at the present time is Oregon. Here the governmental ideas that now occupy so largely the public mind have been in active oper¬ ation for several years. For nine years Oregon has had the Initiative and Referendum; for seven years the direct primary and election by the people of United States Senators. Its political history during this period ought to answer many questions that the American people arc now asking. THE ACTRESS ON THE ROAD By MARY SHAW * f CEVERAL years ago, when she was dragged into court for producing Shaw’s play, “Mrs. Warren’s Profession,’’ in New York City, Mary Shaw commanded the sympathy of the intelligent public. She has long been one of the interesting figures on our stage, and has endeared herself to people of taste by her championship of whatever is new and interesting in the drama. Miss Shaw has been described as “an intelligent woman who happens to be able to act, rather than an actress who happens to be intelligent.’’ Originally a school-teacher in New Hampshire, Miss Shaw came to the dramatic profession with her eyes open, and has given more thought to the difficulties of an actress’s career than a woman bom to the profession would be apt to do. Her present article has to do with some of the dangers and difficulties that confront the actress on tour.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— PUBLIC A TIONS 9 FOR JULY “DREAMS IN LACE” Another Story of Nazileh and Little Antar By LUCILLE BALDWIN VAN SLYKE IT is against the policy of McClure’s to print the letters that come from our readers, expressing their satisfaction with stories or articles; but so many letters have been received about Mrs. Van Slyke’s Syrian stories that we have decided to print one or two letters that take the stories up in very different ways. One, from a well-known artist in New York City, is written from the standpoint of a jaded magazine reader: McClurk’s M acazine — Gentlemen: After years of magazine reading, I swore off from fiction a few months ago in disgust at the stereotyped man and girl who always go through a few antics and end by getting married and living happily ever after. A friend told me last month I might venture again, that the spell was broken by a new type of story without a single one of the magazine conventions; I was still skeptical and contrived to get my wife to read the story. It was the Syrian story of the rugs, and when she enthused I broke my oath; moreover, I was captivated, my faith in the magazine is again restored, and I am hereafter a willing subscril>er. It is even better this month, and I am profoundly grateful to know that there is one literary shon still manned by able-bodied editors who arc brave enough to throw the magazine girl out of the window and give the poor public something new, different, and really artistic. The following letter, from a prominent New York attorney, expresses the interest of a man who happens to have made a study of the Syrian people: Editor of McClure’s— Dear Sir: We probably please the Editor best if we read what he publishes and don't bother him. A clever story in your February issue, however, entitled "The Rug of Her Fathers," gave me enjoyment, and I shall venture to tell you so. The story shows an earnest study of the Syrian and his particular art; for the Oriental rug-maker is not merely following a calling or vocation: he is an exponent of that art and his talent is his heritage. He wants no new ideas in his work or his customs of life, but only a faithful adherence to traditions. I have observed these people, and I have reason to appreciate the faithful reproduction of their lingo as given in the story. Indeed, it is the correctness in this regard that especially attracts me, because the failure to get dialect right spoils a lot of good stories. Mrs. Van Slyke, in taking up English Syrian, sought pastures new, relatively so at least, and, as they say in the classics, she got there with a wallop. Chancellor Day of Syracuse University writes: My family has been very much interested in reading the stories by Mrs. Ludlle Baldwin Van Slyke in McClure's Magazine. You are fortunate in enlisting her on your great magazine. It is a compliment to the university from which die graduated which we appreciate. Octavia Roberts, the well-known short-story writer, says of “ The Rug of Her Fathers ”: The Turk who mends our rugs begged it from me, and his eyes kindled as he read the description of the wall of Eden.

NEW BOOK NOTES It is inevitable that Morley Roberts’s new novel, "Thorpe’s Way,” should suggest George Bernard Shaw’s writings to the reader at all familiar with them, though the new writer has a flavor all his own. His "Thorpe’s Way" is a delightful and whim¬ sical blending of medieval romance and mod¬ ern socialism; and his interesting and rather iconoclastic philosophy is sugar-coated in one of the most entertaining novels of the year. Thorpe’s way was hardly the conventional way of wooing. Impul¬ sively and quite sincerely he proposes the first evening they meet, at a rather formal and stuffy dinner party; and in this momentous event, as in most others, Thorpe had his way. He is a social insurgent and so horri¬ fies the rather middle- class formalities and conventions of his fian¬ cee's family that they forbid the bans. Her mother goes so far as to lock the sweet and rather independent Molly in her room on the top floor. How Thorpe, in a spirit of medieval romance, rescues her by means of the house next door, though he had ample legal means of rescuing her in a more conventional way; how they eloped, and what comes of it all, make up one of the most vivacious love-stories that has been published in a long time. The several minor characters are deli¬ ciously portrayed, among them Molly’s other suitor — a young lord, known to his familiars as "Gloomy Fanny” — and Mnlh's slangy brothcr, whose London vernacular would have put Chimmie Faddcn to the blush. Miss Jbnnette L. Gilder, in her Chicago Tribune letter, recently spoke of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell as "the oldest producing living novelist." “ ‘John Sherwood. Ironmaster.’” Miss Gilder says of this veteran writer's latest novel, "is as virile as any story that Dr. Mitchell has ever written. There is no falling off in his power to hold an audience.” 26 Seldom docs the new book of a new writer arouse such interest as has Mrs. Russell Codman’s "An Ardent American" — a bit out of the ordinary in plot, altogether out of the ordinarv in treatment. w "It is by no means the plot, nor even the story itself,” says the Boston Globe, "nor the impressions of America, that make 'An Ardent American' so thoroughly enjoyable. All this is construction and composition and decoration; the scntence-by-sentencc jewel carving, the thoroughly European frame of mind, the character- drawing of the girl by herself, the wonderfully clever phrasing, bright delight in every word." Mrs. Codman belongs to a prominent Boston family, and, to add to the interest of the novel, was educated abroad and lived abroad most of her girlhood. That entertaining trav¬ el document, Harry Franck’s "A Vagabond Journey Around the World.” is in its fifth edition; and the author is at work on a new book. "Four Months Afoot in Spain,” to be published this fall. The abounding vital¬ ity, the insatiable interest in humanity, the mighty sense of humor, which Mr. Franck took with him on his earlier wanderings are all sure to be found again in this happy chronicle of four picturesque months’ wan¬ derings through Spanish highways and by¬ ways. Even while writing of Spain Mr. Franck is planning another wanderjahr— through Mexico and Central and South America, with the possibility of taking two years for the trip and continuing on around the southern hemisphere, visiting South Africa. Australia, and the Pacific Islands. "The Lady of the Decoration" is two months past five years old: but even "Molly Make-Believe” cannot shake her hold on popular favor.

3S CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— FOOD PRODUCTS “A man is as old as his arteries,” says the Doctor who examines you for life insurance. Old age is merely a hardening of the arteries — and hardening of the arteries comes from many causes, chief among them being the excessive eating of high-protein foods. Cut down the high-protein diet for awhile and eat Shredded Wheat It supplies all the body-building material in the whole wheat prepared in a digestible form. The excessive eating of indigestible foods brings on stomach and bowel disorders — and these can be prevented by a daily diet of thoroughly cooked cereals. Shredded Wheat is best for this purpose because it is steam-cooked, shredded and twice baked, retaining the bran coat of the whole wheat which is so valuable in keeping the bowels healthy and active Nothing so delicious and wholesome in Summer when the stomach rebels against heavy meats and soggy pastries as Shredded Wheat Biscuit with raspberries or other fresh fruits served with milk or cream and sugar. Two Biscuits with a little fruit will supply all the strength needed for a half-day’s work or play. THE ONLY BREAKFAST FOOD MADE IN BISCUIT FORM The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, N. Y.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— TELEPHONES 37 The Good Road For Universal Service! Every man’s home faces on a road which connects with every other road and leads to every other home throughout the whole land. Main highways connect with cross-roads so that a man can go where he chooses, easily and comfortably if conditions are favorable. But the going is not always the same; some roads are good— some are bad. The experts in the South illustrate the difference by showing four mules drawing two bales of cotton slowly over a poor, muddy cross-road, and two mules drawing eight bales of cotton rapidly over a first- class macadam highway. The Bell Telephone lines are the roads over which the speech of the nation passes. The highways and byways of personal communication are the 12,000,000 miles of wire connecting 6,000,000 telephones in homes on these highways. Steadily the lines are being extended to every man’s home. The public demands that all the roads of talk shall be good roads. It is not enough to have a system that is universal ; there must be macadamized highways for talk all the way to every man’s home. A single section of bad telephone line is enough to block communication or confine it to the immediate locality. Good going on the telephone lines is only possible with one policy and one system. Good going everywhere, at all times, is the aim of the Bell system. American Telephone and Telegraph Company And Associated Companies One Policy One System Universal Service

Nobby Trends were ttrst placed on the market. Sine© then they have been sweeping the country, replacing every form of non- skid tire or non-skid device on cars in every possible kind of service. Skidding Protection — These big, thick, dingonnlly-plnccd knobs grip the slip¬ periest road or pavement at every con¬ ceivable angle and they do it rrrn on a tret asjihalt paccmctit. They reach down deep into muddy or sandy roads, and give you absolute traction — something you would never expect a plain tread to do. Wearing Quality — In decided contrast to the ordinary “non skid'* tire these tough rubber knobs expose so large a surface to the wear and tear of the road that it takes thousands of miles to wear them smooth. When they finally do wear down, you still have left tiio full life of a plain tread. For safety's sake — for economy's sake equip your car with *' hobbies " For sale wherever Hinit

CENTURY A D VER T I SEMEN TS—B US IN ESS HELPERS How to Develop a City Why should not a city be advertised so as to produce sure and permanent benefits, rather than a raoro temporary boom which would accomplish no lasting good t The Mahin Advertising Company knew that this could be done, and when the Greater Dos Moines advertising was put into our hands we proceeded to prepare for the campaign along safe and sane lines, as is done with all our accounts. After the most careful and thorough analysis of local conditions, and outlining the results to be achieved, the plan of the campaign was decided on and the work of preparing was begun. As an evidence of the satisfaction which the Committee felt in their selection of an agency, and the work done, noto the following letter from the Greater Des Moines Committee. 'Cije Greater ittotncfi Committee SDta ;fRoittf«, Jotta April 5, 1910. “Mr. Wm. H. Rankin, the Vic# President of the Mshin Advertising Company, has asked us to toll you why thr Greater I*es Moinrs Committee determined to employ the Mahin Company for its Municipal Advertising campaign. This ia merely an explanation for the following statement. When the Greater Des Moinea Committee determined to spend 980,000 in advertiaing Pea Mmnr«, ita mi>mlx-r« agreed that the beat advertising service Was certainly not too good. We invited the representatives of all the leading advertiaing agencies of the Called States to appear before the Committee and present their eases. uler, when the s|»ecial advertising Committee was nppointed. the four agennca which had made the best impression on the general Committee were allowed to again aend their representatives to Des Moines and each spent an afternoon with the special committee. During this dual round-up the leading men — officers of the agencies — themselves solicited the husineaa. Few public organisations make a selection of counsel by ao painstaking a process of elimination. selection of rounsel by ao painstaking a process of elimination. The fundamental reason for deciding upon the Mahin service was the success of Mr. Mahin in initiating advertising campaigns in absolutely new Acids. Although Kansas City, Dallas, Texas. Oakland. Calif., and a few other municipalities have rnnde more or less erratic ventures in advertising, none of them have achieved sufficient suecess to establish a preredent. While the advertising of hats, or shoes, or hundreds of other articles, hns l»een tested suffi¬ ciently to demonstrate the safe and unsafe methods of publicity, cities have proceeded only- far enough to indicate that advertising might be made to nay if persistently followed. Mu¬ nicipal advertising is. therefore, an absolutely uncharted Acid. While the * record of results * and the experience of general advertising agencies might be extremely valuable in mercantile The copy thus far submitted by the Mahin Advertising Company haa been eminently satisfac¬ tory. It is written in a sane, direct way, and is founded on a thorough knowledge of the substantial opportunities existing in Iowa. Were we again to decide upon an agency, we would decide upon the Mahin Service. Wc can conceive of no stronger recommendation. While this letter is sent upon the request of Mr. Rankin, we want you to know thnt we would not write it unless the service of the Mahin Company had earned our appreciation. No member of the Greater Des Moines Committee has any interest whatever in the Mahin Com¬ pany except to obtain from it the highest efficiency as an advertising counselor." Tiie Greater Des Moines Committee 1500 Per Cent. Dividends Ono year later the Greater Des Moines Committee submitted their report of Results Obtained. It reflects great credit on every member of the Committee, the City of Des Moines and the advertising campaign. The Booklet is called : “ The Only Corporation in Des Moines Paying More Than 1.100 per cent, in Dividends.” We will gladly send copy of this report to any in¬ terested advertiser or city official. We are now in position to serve five largo advertisers, who want National Service in advertising and sales co-operation. Call, telephone, wire or write —

58 CENTURY AD TER TISEM ENTS— PUBLICATIONS Something for Nothing How a Big Corporation Hires Skilled Labor at 34 Cents a Day ONCE in a while somebody gets some¬ thing for nothing. But somebody else has to pay. An extraordinary and interesting case is fully reported in the July American Magazine. It is the story of how a great corporation has succeeded in getting its goods manufactured in our state prisons at an average wage of 34 cents a day for convict labor. 34 cents a day does not pay anywhere near the cost to the state of feeding, housing and caring for the prison¬ ers who spend their time making chairs for this concern at the low wage mentioned. But the Taxpayers Pay In five states where this is going on, the deal costs the tax¬ payers $108,000 a year. That is, $108,000 is the differ¬ ence between what the states receive for the labor of the convicts so employed, and what it costs the states to take care of them. The states arc: Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin and Connecticut. These prisoners could earn more, cither for the state or for the benefit of poor and suf¬ fering wives and children whom they have left behind them, outside the prison. Is it right ? Wc don’t think so, and this articlo we be¬ lieve will raise a disturbance in at least five states in a good cause. American Also, the July American Magazine, in an article full of wonder stories of marvellous children now living in the United States, tells about new ideas in child training. Add to the above a ghost story by Samuel Hopkins Adams, an adventure story by William J. Locke, author of “Simple Septimus,*’ live other stories, and the three most interesting and original magazine departments any¬ where published — and you have a glimpse of this vital and lively July magazine.

'‘Nobody’s” is the love story of a beautiful and refined Southern girl who faces insinuations about her birth. The story is touching in the pathos of her situation, and daringly romantic in its portrayal of the extent to which man's chivalry and intuition of right may carry him in the face of tradition and popular feeling. The scene is Tennessee. With Frontispiece. Post Svo, Cloth, Si. 20 net. MRS.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— SCHOOLS, ETC . mm MSVhat School? ii ^sSThereIs Only One Best School for Each Boy Or Girl * | AH E selection of a school — the best school, isan important matter, and as difficult as it is important. The best school for one it not the best school for another. It is a serious question of requiremenu and qualifications. Each good school offers special advantages. If students of different tempera¬ ments, capabilities and purposes could, with equal advantage, attend the same school, the problem of education would be simplified. The Educational Aid Society, as one of its activities, maintains a School Information Bureau. which -upplics. without charge, catalogues of all schools and reliable information concerning the advantages of various institutions and their comparative cost.

That whimsically merry new book. "Thorpe's Way," reads as if the author, Morley Roberts, knew intimately modern Lon¬ don and the radical phi¬ losophers of to-day who dwell mostly in cities; but his life has been a wandering and adven¬ turous one. He was born in Lon¬ don, the oldest son of an Income Tax Inspec¬ tor, but at nineteen he was off to Australia MorU, RoKru where. he worked on \ ictorian railroads and in the Bush of New South Wales, chiefly with sheep and cattle. Then he shipped be¬ fore the mast, did government department work, and traveled and worked with cattle, on railroads, in sawmills in Texas, Califor¬ nia, Manitoba, British Columbia, in the South Seas. Cape Colony, Teneriffe, and Cor¬ sica. Now Mr. Roberts is living and work¬ ing in London, with chess, traveling, and fishing the recreation of his leisure hours. . Frederick Orin Bartlett, author of that splendid story of adventure, "The Forest Castaways,” running serially in St. Nicholas, divides his time between Cambridge, Mass., and a charming bungalow at Bridgton, Me. Much of his writing is done among the trees. Back of the Maine cottage there is a stretch of woods four miles by five, un¬ broken except by wood roads. Miss Hildegarde Hawthorne’s "The Lure of the Garden," which is to be one of the beautiful books of the fall, had its first beginning in a talk Miss Hawthorne had with the late Mr. Richard Watson Gilder. “I had written a poem on a garden which he published," Miss Hawthorne says, "and he spoke to me of it later very charmingly. We confided to each other how we loved gardens; and I told him I thought it such a pity the true garden was so rare in Amer¬ ica— the cardinal point of a garden being seclusion — and that if people would only build walls gardens would begin to develop spontaneously." The writing of the book began soon after. Francis Arnold Collins, author of that ideal book for all boys who like to do things, "The Boys' Book of Model Aeroplanes," spends most of his leisure time in attending model aeroplane meets and in working over aeroplane models, always in com¬ pany with his eleven- year-old boy. In the fall they will sail for Kngland, to see the latest developments in model aeroplane build¬ ing and flying in that count ry and on the con¬ tinent. There is to be "The Second Boys’ Book of Model Aeroplanes" in the fall. / raw, it A p h.:'U C.'i/imt Eleanor Hallowei.l Abbott, creator of "Molly Make-Believe," that fascinating bit of mischief and joy, is a passionate lover of out-of-doors. She and her busy physician hus¬ band, Dr. Fordycc Co¬ burn, of Lowell, Mass., spend all their leisure in • - the open — salmon fish¬ ing in Maine waters, tennis playing at the Lowell Country Club, coon and wild turkey L — - — • hunting in Florida. There will be a new book by this favorite author this fall, and it will be called "The Sick-a-Bcd Lady.” 26 Ralph Henry Barbour, one of America's most popular writers for boys and girls, spends his summers now at Manchester, in a house set among the trees with a fine view of the sea. "We spent the summer for a good many years at East Gloucester in a bungalow we have there," said Mr: Barbmir —recently, "and swore we never would leave it. I picked up the Manchester place because it was on the market and was a dead bargain. Well, we tried it, anil now won’t go any¬ where else. We 'vc got eleven acres there, and I ’m going to build another house on the property this summer." Mr. Barbour's “Team-Mates," a new story of life and play at a boys’ school, with entirely new setting and characters, is de¬ lighting St. Nicholas readers this year.

No one can read of this church but feels that there is a tremendous thought here. Oddly enough, the church has hardly been written of.

Fire Fighting and Telephoning Both Need Team Work, Modern Tools and an Ever Ready Plant, Everywhere Twenty men with twenty buckets can put out a small fire if each man works by himself. If twenty men form a line and pass the buckets from hand to hand, they can put out a larger fire. But the same twenty men on the brakes of a "hand tub” can force a continuous stream of water through a pipe so fast that the bucket brigade seems futile by comparison. The modern firefighter has gone away beyond the "hand* tub.” Mechanics build a steam fire engine, miners dig coal to feed it, workmen build reservoirs and lay pipes so that each nozzleman and engineer is worth a score of the old- fashioned firefighters. The big tasks of today require not only team work but also modern tools and a vast system of supply and distribution. The Bell telephone system is an example of co-operation between 75,000 stockholders, 120,000 employees and six million subscribers. But to team work is added an up-to-date plant. Years of time and hundreds of millions of money have been put into the tools of the trade ; into the building of a nation-wide network of lines; into the training of men and the working out of meth¬ ods. The result is the Bell system of today— a union of men. money and machinery, to provide universal telephone service for ninety million people.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— BUSINESS HELPERS 49 The Mahin Advertising Company Believes In Advertising Itself WE know that when we can invest the advertising appropria¬ tions of our customers successfully, we can do the same thing for ourselves. The first of this year wc outlined an advertising campaign to exploit our service. This campaign is being conducted on a conservative basis in such magazines as Harper’s, Scribner’s, Century, World’s Work, and in Printer’s Ink anil other adver¬ tising journals. So far this year our volume of business has exceeded, by a large percentage, any like period in our history. We have secured more high-grade accounts since January 1st than during almost any full year heretofore. One reason for this is that we have made good on the large quantity of business secured and handled in 1910. Our customers recommend us freely and enthusiastically. The following letter is one of many we have on file. It is a better advertisement for the Mahin Advertising Company than wc could write ourselves : The T. A. Sniper Prksrrv* Co. Cincinnati, Ohio Tmm NaTIOXAL Oats Co. St. Lows, Mo., May ti, 1910 Mr. Rankin lolls mo lhal you are considering the Mahin Advertising Company lo handle your business, and, feel¬ ing a* I do. a personal imereti in Mr. Rankin, and alto in Mr .Mahin and the Mahin Adverliting Company, I lake the liberty of voluntarily giving you our reaton for selecting the Mahin Advertiiing Company lo handle our buti nett.

We have met Mr. John I-ee Mahin personally many times, and know him to lie a practical merchandiser, and we rontider his experience on grocery specialties to be such as to make the Mahin Advertising Agency far more valuable to us than any other agency that we are familiar with could possibly be Sincerely your*.

The elegant and productive copy and illustrations that Mrs Helen Mar Thomson has so ably superintended in getting out for u*. have, in our opinion, been decidedly profitable to us, in not only securing many new customers f-.r our ~ different Snider Itrand goods, but have also brought us closer to many of our old customer* of the past twenty-five years The copy has convinced our old customers that they were correct in using our goods, and also showed them new and palatable ways to use Snider's Catsup.

That is what Mahin Service does; wc will be glad to demonstrate to you in your otTicc or ours what our service is. Write, wire or phone us and make an appointment in your office or ours

Hopkinson Smith’s Great Romance of the Old South Kennedy Square HP HE chivalrous spirit of the old South permeates this remarkable novel; the descriptions of incidents typical of the Baltimore society of that day — courtly St. George’s dinner to Poe. the great ball at the Rutter mansion, the encounters at the old-time gentlemen s club— are rendered vivid in motion anil color. The plot turns on a clash between cavalier ideas of honor that recognize duelling and wink at the lesser vices and that developing sense of a higher duty which a few the lovely Kate among them — are beginning to hold. Young Harry Rutter is the very expression of the cavalier spirit. This, through the duel he feels bound to light, leads to his estrangement from Kate. It is the development of his character in his brave and apparently hopeless struggle to win her back, and of hers in resisting her love for him to stand by her ideals, that give this novel a deeper interest than even that which comes from its graphic and dramatic narrative.

That idea consists in {laying for circulation according to the quality of the publication und its reuders — not simply pay¬ ing for so many sold copies. The time is steadily passing when so-many-thousand rend¬ ers for such-and-such a rate can get any and all business. Thinking men are realizing the fact that the hundreds of thousands wasted in advertising can be diverted into producing channels. On every side this idea is cropping out. A few years ago — and to-day in many cases — very large circulation meant heavy advertising |tatronage. In some cases this was justified, but very often it was quite the reverse. More und more advertising mana¬ gers are commencing to think more deeply and to analyze statements which before they had taken for granted. Probably the best example of this class of advanced thinker is K. St. Klmo Ix-wis. Mr. Lewis is outspoken in his denunciation of tin- old method. "It is the most erroneous idea in advertising," Mr. Lewis said, recently. "There is no sense in buying circulation merely as circulation — it is what composes that circulation that counts. I would n’t give two cents for a hundred thousand circulation' if I had no way of knowing or finding out something about that circulation." There are publications of $0,000 in this country whose columns arc worth more to the majority of advertisers than others of double and even treble that figure. Personally, I would willingly pay /tries as much for space in the former ns in the latter. And the time is coming when valuable circulation — among quality readers — will win its own battle. Listen: Several years ago i l»ecame con¬ nected with a small semi-trade {taper in an executive capacity. Shortly after taking up my work, there came one day the representa- tivc of a " subscription and circulation bureau. " To cut a long story short, he offered to get me as many thousand subscriptions as 1 wanted — in any State or States desired — to deliver them within sixty days and to conform to the {lost-office regulations. All this without any effort on my part, but with considerable ex¬ pense. Suppose all tiiis had been done — the circulation boosted to ten or fifteen thousand — aggressive advertising men put in the field. The business would have come in, without doubt. How is tiie advertising manager to know that some of the various publications he is using arc not doing these very tilings? This may seem an extreme position, and it is doubt¬ less open to criticism, but there is more truth in it than many will care to admit. I know of a certain publication selling for something like fifty cents a year which has recently secured contracts for automobile ad¬ vertising. Cannot the wisdom of the selection of such a medium as this be criticized ? A little test I made of a large list of publi¬ cations shook up my ideas ia a good many ways. But above everything else I found that there was a greater difference between well-known periodicals thnn I had dreamed of before. The idea of paying for the quality of the publication and its renders means a good deal more to me now thnn it did then. And one thing more. Quality circulation cannot be forced. A publication of little merit cannot get — and hold — such renders. It ’s the genuine merit of the publication that is responsible and there is setting in a strong drift toward those publications which have this merit. — ( From Printers' Ink , July 6. 1911.)

He goes to Panama. This new scene is even richer than Alaska. Here are various kinds of Americans — some with swarthy skins — and the Spanish girl, her father, his enemies — a motley crew. There are pictures by Christy ' I M I ROUGH it all is the joy, the zest, the enthusiasm of youth in action. The conquest of the Isthmus by the canal engineers and the counterplots of jealous workers run through the story. One young American from the reckless idler at the beginning — which gives the novel its title — becomes a man of the sort to do things for us either at Panama, in Wall street, in the West or the South.

* Books and Authors Eleanor Hallow ell Abbott’s "The Sick- a-Bed Lady," which is to be one of the early fall issues, is a book of stories, two of which have been winners of thousand-dollar prizes in Collier short-story contests. The particu¬ lar issues of the magazine in which several of these stories have appeared are out of print, so great has been the demand for the Abbott stories; and letters from all over the country are besieging author and publishers, asking the date of "The Sick-a-Bed Lady’s" issue. I)r. Arthur C. McGiffert’s notable life of Martin Luther is to be published in book form in the fall under the title of "Martin Luther: the Man and His Work," and the author has carefully worked over for the new publication the biography as it has ap¬ peared serially in The Century. This mod¬ ern, authoritative, and compellingly inter¬ esting life of Luther will appeal to every student of history as well as to every church¬ man. Dr. McGiffert’s "full, rounded periods," one critic declares, "carry one for¬ ward like the sweep of a great river, and put the reader in mind of Macaulay." SUMMER issues arc new editions of John Muir’s delightful "The Mountains of Cali¬ fornia" and William Macdonald's "Dry- Farming: Its Principles and Practice." Both books have a number of new illustrations. Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross's articles in The Century on "The Industrial Future of China," "Christianity in China." and “The Struggle for Existence in China" will be in¬ corporated into his hook, a fall issue, "1 he Changing Chinese," which will be the first pronouncement on China and China’s prob¬ lems by a competent representative of the science of sociology. Prof. Ross’s book was written after ten thousand miles’ travel in China, and six months’ study of Chinese life in all its phases— religion, education, indus¬ try, opium, the position of the Chinese wo¬ men. He is the first sociologist of adequate modern equipment who has sought the key to the interpretation of Chinese society by the method of first-hand observation. Princeton University for several years into a volume on "The Principles of Physics." intended for classes in elementary college physics and also to interest the general reader of a scientific turn. Another new educational issue of importance is Prof. Lauder William Jones’s "A Laboratory Outline of Organic Chemistry," planned and arranged to meet the needs of students with diversified interests in chemist rv. • The text of that beautiful volume, "Egypt and Its Monuments," is to be put out this fall in an unillustrated edition as a travelers’ guide-book. The original volume had eigh¬ teen pages in full color from drawings by- Jules Guerin, and forty pages in half-tones from photographs. It is at the request of the author himself, Robert Hichens, that this cheaper edition is issued. "A Gallery of Girls" is the alluring title of a very attractive picture-book of Cedes Phillips's work. The hook will have forty full-page studies in full color, and forty- illustrations in black and white, of the new American girl by this most popular of Amer¬ ican illustrators. Among the early fall novels will be "Toddie," a story of love and golf by Gil¬ bert Watson, author of "Three Rolling Stones in Japan," "Sunshine and Sentiment in Portugal," "Skipper,” etc. Mr. Watson is a Scotsman and lives at Kenilworth, St. Andrews: but he has been twice around the world, serving as a cow-boy in New Mexico, and shooting bears in the Rockies and tiger in India. Now he devotes himself to writ¬ ing and golf. His new novel is said to be delightful for its whimsical humor. “Written English’* is not to be over¬ looked — it is just the handy little book everybody who ever writes a letter ought to have. It explains briefly but clearly the cor¬ rect forms, expressions, and punctuation which arc constantly needed in the writing of the average man and woman. The au¬ thors arc John Erskine. Associate Professor of English at Columbia University, and Helen Erskine. 26 William Magie, Henry Professor of Physics in Princeton University, has elabo¬ rated a privately printed manual used at There is to be a new book of stories by- Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart, this fall — Mrs. Stuart at her best, it is promised.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— PUBLIC A TIONS How Can I Make a Cat Stretch Itself On the Stage Every Night ? That is what puzzled David Belasco. He wanted to give a domestic touch to a play: If he could only get a cat to come on the stage at a particular point in the play, stretch itself and lap a saucer of milk. But how to make a cat stretch every night at a given time ? He puzzled over it for days. Then an ingenious idea struck him, and every night for 400 nights he made a cat stretch. It made the success of the play. Read how he did it. You never would have thought it possible. “Little things like that have made my plays success¬ ful,” says Mr. Belasco Then he tells of the “little things,” all in an article, “ Why I Believe in the Little Things.” It is a picture“behind the scenes” — but it is more.

The girl was as astonished as was the mother. And the author says, who tells the story: “Thousands ot mothers are doing exactly for their girls what this mother did, only they don’t know it.” But they should know it, and it will surprise many a mother to read how she is doing it.

36 CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS-FURNITURE The SIGNIFICANCE of the DRAWING ROOM HE English Drawing Room (originally With¬ drawing Room) was so called because it was the room to which the ladies retired at the close of dinner. Here was the charm of patch and pow¬ der with-drawn from the more masculine de¬ lights of tobacco and old port. It is because of this lineage that the Drawing Room should be characterized by the grace and delicate charm of its furnishings. • - Than an occasional Tabic by Chippendale, or a Settee by Sheraton or Heppel- whitc, no piece can better convey the air of delicate refinement that befits the Drawing Room of to-day. It is with faithful replicas of just such pieces that our Twelve Galleries arc crowded. Our Furniture is to be had only at our Galleries in New York. We have no branches.

38 CENTURY A DEER TISEMENTS-TELEPHONES Double Tracking The Bell Highway Two of the greatest factors in modem civilization— the telephone and telegraph — now work hand in hand. Heretofore each was a separate and distinct system and transmitted the spoken or written messages of the nation with no little degree of efficiency. Co-operation has greatly increased this efficiency. The simple diagram above strikingly illus¬ trates one of the mechanical advantages of co-operation. It shows that six persons can now talk over two pairs of wires at the same time that .eight telegraph operat¬ ors send eight telegrams over the same wires. With such joint use of equipment there is economy; without it, waste. While there is this joint use of trunk line plant by both com¬ panies, the telephone and tele¬ graph services are distinct and different. The telephone system furnishes a circuit and lets you do your own talking. It furnishes a highway of communication. The telegraph company, on the other hand, receives your message and then transmits anddelivers it withoutyourfurther attention. The telegraph excels in carrying the big. load of correspondence between distant centers of population; the telephone con¬ nects individuals, so that men, women and children can carry on direct conversations. Already the co-operation of the Western Union and the Bell Systems has resulted in better and more economical public service. Further improvements and economies are expected, until timeanddistanceareannihilated by the universal use of electrical transmission for written or per¬ sonal communication.

1 Sli Some Features of THE NOVEMBER CENTURY Beginning the Eighty-third Volume A Short Story “THE JOURNEY’S END” By Jeffery Farnol Author of ‘•THE BROAD HIGHWAY " One of six short stories in this issue The first article in a series of three on “UNGASTRONOMIC AMERICA” By Henry T. Finck Dr. Harvey W. Wiley says: Ex-President Eliot says: " There is no country in the world where “ Sensuous pleasures, like eating and drink- food is so plentiful, and no country in the ing, are sometimes described as animal, and world where it is so badly cooked, as right therefore unworthy, but men are animals here in the United States." and have a right to enjoy pleasures which maintain health, strength, and life itself/' Here is a practical series of articles which will appeal to every man and woman in America. While it is true that American cookery has made considerable progress since the days described in “ Martin Chuzzlewit” (1843), yet we still perpetuate many gastronomic atroci¬ ties. Why not have sweet instead of salted butter? Why not do away with the cold storage of undrawn fowls? Why not eat hams that are really smoked and hung up in the smoke for weeks? This first article covers “The Theory of Wholesome Eating”; the second will treat of “Multiplying the Pleasures of the Table.” New Light on Lafayette “LAFAYETTE’S IMPRISONMENT AT OLMUTZ" and “LAFAYETTE'S CHATEAU” (Chavaniac) • i V •.v «.**.vt* THECENTUKr CO-UNION SQUARE-NEW Y0RK‘,Xim oc~> t/OU Digitized by Google

Ask those who have read it, and then ask your dealer for it. By Maurice Hewlett A New Mediaeval Romance THE SONG OF RENNY A romance of the Middle Ayes abounding in adventure, gorgeous in color, alive with the vigorous spirit of "Richard Yea and Nay” and " The Forest Lovers." Not since the latter came from press has a novel appeared to rival this in the field of pure romance. Karl Gcrnulf, •• Red Bull o' the North," sacks the castle of Coldscaur, steals a lovely child, the Lady Sabine, and swears he will wed her. She defies him openly in his castle. Her love story is interwoven with that of Mabilla, her cousin. The two together, the tourneys and battles which they involve, told with Hewlett’s old virility of narrative, mark this as the greatest even of his medieval novels.

IO CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— BOOKS THE NE’ER-DO-WELL REX BEACH Author of “ The Silver Horde.” The boy had a fight on his hands that night when he was whirled from Broadway to 'tween-decks of a Panama boat — and the fight had only begun. I le w as a young Amer¬ ican and a reckless idler at the beginning, which gives the novel its title. And the fight went on — in fact, it grew. It became a dif¬ ferent kind of struggle, and into it all the flotsam and jetsam of the Isthmus weredrawn. The boy got some help — the hands that were stretched out to help him were mostly slender and white — and some boosts, but a lot of hard knocks as well. It took some time, and there was much fun for the spectators. Finally the boy became a man— the kind of a man who can do things. Illustrated by Christy. PostSvo, Cloth , Sr. 23 net. THE IRON WOMAN MARGARET DELAND Like its predecessor, “ The Iron Woman " is a novel of spiritual struggle and deep human emotion — but it rises to an even greater height than “The Awakening of Helena Richie.” The story is compact and swiftly moving. From beginning to end its human appeal never flags, and despite the touches of profound pathos, it has a wholesome sanity and cheerful every-dayness that reminds one of the “Old Chester Tales.” Never was youth — dainty, virginal, dewy youth — youth with its latent passion, so vividly pictured. No serial ever published in Harper’s Magazine brought forth the favorable comment of so many people. Illustrated. Post Svo , Cloth , S/.JJ net. VICTOR OLLNEE’S DISCIPLINE Hamlin Garland Victor Ollnee, a healthy, normal youth, catcher of the university base-ball team, learns that his mother, whom he has seen but little since his childhood, is a famous medium. Lucy Ollnee is a delicate, refined little woman, who has perfect faith in her unusual psychic powers. Victor determines to make her break away from it, and the story works out the destiny of the boy, his sweetheart, and his mother in chapters of strong and simple feeling. Post Sro, Cloth, Sr. jo net. NOBODY’S Virginia Demarest The love story of a beautiful and refined Southern girl who, as she grows up, faces an alarming situation regarding her birth. Mystery, suspense, and the skill with which the colored people arc drawn in their superstition and timorous instinct for concealment, make “Nobody’s” an unusual novel. With Frontispiece.

The real quality of the man is laid bare when a fire sweeps through his building and he feels himself responsible for the death of the girls who worked on the floor above. Joe and his mothef go down among the poor to live. Joe seeks to wield an influence through the paper which he establishes and edits. He and his work become a center for factory workers, shirt-waist makers, and even for the wealthy who are interested in humanity. It is a story of genuine human appeal and meaning.

Jane Dawson, the heroine, was betrayed in her youth by a man who has since married another.

A LIVING WITHOUT A BOSS Anonymous Forty years behind him ; the human machine wearing out under strenuous office work ; and two mouths to feed — that is the hell that thousands of men face daily. This is the problem which confronted the author, and his experiences form a valuable human docu¬ ment. Here is no account of youthful inex¬ perience and ignorant hopes, but the trained mind and the quick eye for an opening of the city man turned into new channels. The reader is sure to find sign-posts which will lead him to a safe abiding-place as his own master. Through all the hardships of their new life, a sense of humor, his wife’s sympathy and help, and his own perseverance arc the man’s chief capital. Eight Illustrations. 12010, Cloth , Si. 00 net.

The valueof the research chemist to manufacturers in numerous fields is emphasized. In Chapter XII, which is a report made by the author to the Chancellor of the University of Kansas, at the request of the (iovernor of that Slate, “On the Relations of the University of Wisconsin to the State,” Professor Duncan explains what far-reaching results follow the commissions, extension lectures, and correspondence courses.

CENTURY ADVER T IS EM ENTS— PUBLICATIONS A Two-Legged Unfeathered Animal It seems to have bothered philosophers to define man. You remember that Plato said he was a two-legged, unfeathered animal. This came to the ear of Diogenes who threw a plucked fowl on a table before the philosopher, saying: “There is Plato’s man!” Anybody is at perfect liberty to try and improve upon Plato or anybody else. This is what makes the world move. If Plato had said that man is a tool- using animal he wouldn’t have been confronted with a plucked bird. A scientific system of business management, a new dis¬ covery in chemistry, a flying machine are tools-devices which man manipulates to accomplish certain ends. Tools are the great factors that are changing the daily life of the individual and changingour whole civilization. You realize perfectly that you should know about them — the latest discoveries, the latest inventions, the advances along scientific lines— and their significance . For sixty-seven years the Scientific American has been furnishing this information— exact, trustworthy knowl¬ edge, with the stamp of authority. It always has been and is alone in its chosen field. The big men, the men of affairs, know this. Probably no publication has among its regular subscribers so large a percentage of the men who are making history. Of course you can exist without any knowledge beyond that which supplies clothing, shelter and the belly need, but you can’t live. By the way, "Ten Stories" will probably appeal to you because they are good stories about the beginnings of great things. They are mighty interesting. Yours for the asking.

Brentano’s has also made a specialty of fine sets of standard authors — of rare editions and volumes ; people country-wide write us about these ; our list of correspondents numbers more than forty thousand names. These correspondents frequently ask our advice and opinion regard¬ ing subscription nooks also (histones, dictionaries, encyclopaedias) and our experts have naturally kept well posted about these — especially encyclopaedias. We have endeavored to deserve the confidence of those who thus write ; we believe they trust us, and we have therefore long felt that the distribution by us of a high-grade, general encyclopaedia that we knew and could vouch for , would prove a welcome offering to our friends throughout the country, as well as to the general public everywhere — in the United States and in foreign countries. Finally there came an opportunity quite to our liking, namely, the revision and enlargement of the celebrated ENCYCLOPEDIA AME¬ RICANA, published by the Scientific American Compiling Department in collaboration with Frederick Converse Beach, managing editor, and more than 2,000 editorial writers. We knew the AMERICANA to be a work of- exceptional worth, of

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— BOOKS 3» The Old and the New These two volumes, so unlike in size, contain exactly the same subject matter and illustrations. The old is on ordinary paper, the new on India paper. The old is 2J4 inches thick, the new 1 inch thick; the old weighs 6'j pounds, the new 2 \i pounds ; the old (full set) weighs 104 pounds, the new (full set) weighs 50 pounds ; the old (full set) requires 3 feet and 8 inches of shelf room, the new only 20 inches of shelf room. " Ring out the old ! Ring in the new ! ” which many thousand sets were owned and prized : we knew that the work covered every field of the world’s essential knowledge, old and new ; that it was a vast repository of fixed knowledge— the kind that does not change as years go by ; that it revealed wnat may be called experimental knowledge — the kind that has been the necessary out¬ growth of recent inventions and discoveries as well as modern methods and processes in so many departments of to-day’s endeavor. We knew all this and we were also strongly attracted by the pur¬ pose of the publishers to print the work on India paper, to bind it accord¬ ing to Brentano specifications and to give us the exclusive distribution of the entire edition. This means that the Brentano edition of the AMERICANA will bear the hall-mark of quality and that those who secure it will not alone enjoy a feeling of satisfaction when they consult it, but when they even (/lance at it in the place of honor it is certain to hold on desk or reading- table. For the Brentano, India-paper AMERICANA is a set of books, which, though in twenty volumes of more than eighteen thousand pages, can easily be kept at your elbow on even a small desk or read ing-ta ole, making frequent reference easy, especially for the young folks. In a word, it is an ideal work for home, office, or study, and it will be well worth your while to learn more about it than can be here said ; also about the easy way to make it yours. Just say: “ Send full particulars about the AMERICANA as mentioned in The Century Magazine for October. ” Address BRENTANO’S University Dept. Fifth Avenue corner of Twenty-seventh Street NEW YORK CITY Graduated Payment Plan A privilege of this distribution is a graduated system of easy pay¬ ments to those who so desire, or a liberal discount for cash, all of which will be fully explained to those who write.

A woman, keenly observant, and who has seen much of girls and women, holds that it is more often true than many suppose. Then she explains how it comes about: what it can mean, in suffering, to a woman, and what is the duty of a woman to be the wife of the man she married, not that of the man she wishes she had married.

WHEN you think of furniture you think of Grand Rapids, and when you think of Grand Rapids you think of furniture. This reputation hinges upon the justified belief of Julius Berkey and George W. Gay, over half a century ago, that they could make good furniture. WE have grown out of the old time methods, but we have not out¬ grown the old fashioned principles. The purchaser of a five dollar bed-room chair or a thousand dollar dining table of our make knows that in it and through it and back of it stands our reputation and good faith. WE have never made "cheap” furniture. Cheap furniture never loses its priccmark. There is character in our furniture — the character that lives in worthy wood and worthy workmanship. Our period pieces are carefully studied from the best efforts of the old masters of furniture, and faithfully reproduce the thought and purpose of the pieces of the ages in which the different period designs originated. When you put Berkey & Gay furniture in your home you know you have something For Your Children ’s Heirlooms YOU can always identify Berkev&Gay XTOU will appreciate our de luxe book, furniture by the shopmark.

That means that the 7,175,000,000 Bell con¬ versations cover a distance forty times that traveled by the earth.

CENTUR Y ADVER TISEMENTS- VARNISHES Quality Is Economy Competition for Cheapness and not for Excellence is the Decay of the Arts ” In any case where cheapness really is cheap we may rationally decide to save money and lose the artistic. Where cheapness is doubly and trebly expen¬ sive, where it means to lose both art and money — well, that is a case for stating and re-stating the plain and simple facts until they are heeded. To use Cheap Varnish is not to save money : it is to squander money ; while it is also to de¬ stroy the artistic effects of everything on which it is used. A Finish with cheap varnish requires so many more gallons and so many more days’ work that it actually costs more than a Finish with Murphy Varnish. The constant Re-finishing with cheap varnish is like buying your winter’s coal by the pailful, and kindling to start the fire, day after day.

Books and Authors A new book of addresses by the Hon. Jo¬ seph H. Choate is to be issued within the month. These "American Addresses" will treat with this noted orator’s characteristic brilliancy of men and matters of public in¬ terest and importance. The readers of that most fascinating of travel books "A Vagabond Journey Around the World" arc anticipating eagerly the au¬ thor’s new book next month, "Four Months Afoot in Spain," a record, full of life and humor, of this fortunate vagabond’s wan¬ derings in unfamiliar byways. Mr. Franck spent his summer writing on "Four Months" up in the Berkshire woods. Now, he has started on another trip, which will surpass all of his previous ones in popu¬ lar interest, because it will take him into regions which have seldom been visited by travelers who were capable of reporting in¬ telligently what they saw. He expects to begin his explorations on the northern boun¬ dary line of Mexico about October 1st. He will travel leisurely- through Mexico and Central America, and the latter part of the winter will find him well down in South America, where it is his plan to travel much in the wilds. On this trip he will see more of the middle and upper classes than on the other wanderings, as he carries letters of introduction to people of interest and im¬ portance, and will go provided with money. Guglielmo Ferrero’s notable historical study of "The Women of the Csrsars," which The Century has published in six in¬ stalments, is to be issued in handsome book form next month. "Brilliant" is the adjec¬ tive which best defines this eminent Italian historian’s reputation in contemporary let¬ ters. His monumental history of "The Greatness and Decline of Rome" was com¬ pleted when the author was thirty-seven years old, and has attracted world-wide at¬ tention through its radical divergence from accepted theories in the social and economic interpretation of the period he chronicles. M. Ferrero possesses, in an unusual degree, the gift of making history live for the reader of to-day. Coles Phillips’s "A Gallery of Girls,” to be published next month, will gather into permanent setting his lovely American girls who have been making such a sensation on the covers of Life. Sir. Phillips’s work is strikingly piquant and effective. The flat color of the background is usually the same as the girl’s dress, making the figure lines partly a matter of imagination, yet alluringly brought out here and there by a ribbon, a chair, a pretty- ankle in silken hose, or a fair, rounded arm. Altogether, the book will prove a strikingly suc¬ cessful attempt to portray sym¬ pathetically the modish, thoroughbred American girl. - . No American art critic of to-day writes so helpfully for both the initiated and the un¬ initiated, as does Charles H. Caflin. To that admirable series of his, begun in "The Story of Dutch Painting." and continued in "The Story of Spanish Painting,” will be added next month "The Story of French Painting,” in which the author endeavors successfully "to suggest a constructive criticism both of art and life, as revealed particularly and most illuminating!)- through the French ge¬ nius.” The illustrations will be reproduc¬ tions of forty famous French paintings, chosen with a view to emphasizing certain phases of the general movement. Do you remember the mirth and sparkle of "When Patty Went to College"? No need then to suggest watching out for "Just Patty," which tells all about that delicious imp of mischief, Patty, at St. Ursula’s, most select of boarding- schools, and which will be selling October 7th. The author admits that Patty's latest ad¬ ventures are founded to some extent upon her own school experi¬ ences— thev read like it. — Young folks have now in book form that charming St. Nicholas serial, "Dorothy, the Motor Girl." The book is double the length of the serial, and the story is unusually wholesome and delightful, and appeals cqualLy to boys and girls.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS- AUTO MOBILES 69 THE seventh year of six-cylinder leadership. Since 1894 all Stevens-Duryea cars have been built consistently around the principle of Three Point Support and Unit Power Plant. In 1905 the first Stevens-Duryea six cylinder car was built and put on the market. Since that time the Six has been a pronounced success; has had a greater amount of efficiency, greater flexibility and easier riding qualities than most other cars. Only recently have other manufacturers been advocating “Sixes'’ to any extent. It is significant that the 1912 Stevens- Duryea is the seventh year of successful Stevens-Duryea Company, Stevens-Duryea six cylinder cars. On its record alone, it is in a class by itself. If you are interested in closed cars, be sure .to investigate the Stevens-Duryea Limousines, Landaulets and Berlines. Literature on request. Or better still, Go to a Stevens-Duryea dealer, see the car itself — and get a demonstration. Chicopee Falls, Mass.

CEXTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— AUTOMOBILES L/yica Why we can Build a 30 H. P. Five- Passenger Fore-Door Touring Car to Sell for $900 TO the average man an automobile fac¬ tory is merely a factory — a place where cars are made. Yet there is the greatest difference in the world. On one hand you have a plant, which, on ac¬ count of its great production, can make and sell its car for far lets th«n Ihe other factory. And on the other hand you might have a very small factory, which, while it produces a good car, has a very small capacity, and its car for car production costs are considerably higher than those of the larger plant. That is why you find one manufacturer selling his 30 horsepower touring car for $1250 while we market that type of machine for $900. <L We have just published a very thorough book which explains in a clear, definite and readable manner the difference in automobile plants. And the point of this whole book is to prove the economical manufacturing ability of the Overland plants — to prove its strength by showing and explaining to you the interior and exterior of the greatest automobile plant in the world. The hook is free. It is interesting and full of information. G. Above all it gives you a clear understanding ol economics in the production ol automobiles in great quantities, and we believe it proves why no other manufacturer in the business can pro¬ duce the car described below and sell it at our price without losing money. To realise this you have but to compare this automobile with any other similar car on the market. Do this and the exceptional value ol this car will show you where to invest your money. Our Model 5V is the most progressive step the mdustr buyers ol America.

;8 CENTURY ADVERT IS EM ENTS— FINE RAZORS T> ECENT improvements in processes of manufacture enable the Gillette Safety Razor Company to announce a razor blade of greater superiority — a blade that will give you a still better shave than any heretofore produced. These wonderful Gillette Blades, for use exclusively in the Gil¬ lette Safety Razor, are now offered to shaving men everywhere as the ultimate achievement in edged steel. These blades have been evolved during ten years of untiring experimental research in our own laboratories and workshops, in determining the best formula for producing razor steel and in the gradual perfecting of automatic machinery and temper¬ ing systems. The result is a shaving implement of rare quality— uniform, keen, hard and lasting — as near perfection as human ingenuity can approach. No expense has been spared in bringing about this achieve¬ ment. In fact, the recent expenditure of $170,000.00 on special blade machinery has largely made possible the matchless Gil¬ lette Blades we are now marketing. The Gillette Blade eliminates stropping and honing— an irk¬ some, wasteful and ofttimes hopeless task for the man who shaves. This enormously important feature is the fundamental principle of the Gillette Safety Razor, and has done more than anything else to popularize self-shaving all over the world.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS- ARCHITECTURE EVERY MAN HIS OWN BUILDING MANAGER NEARLY every man who builds a house violates a principle he applies to his own business. Relying on merely superficial knowl¬ edge of all that is involved in a building operation, he undertakes to manage the job himself. He begins with a light heart and a heavy pock- etbook — he ends with a heavy heart and a light pocketbook. The various contractors he engages may lie proficient, but before the work is completed he has had to make alter¬ ations in his plans; he has had dis¬ putes to settle ; the house when done is not exactly as he wanted it; and the bills when paid total far higher than he had expected. What has he gained ? Experience. What is his conclusion ? That the management of a building operation requires specific knowledge and ex¬ perience in the same degree that the management of his business requires specific knowledge and experience. The Hoggson Method of lluilding is simply the application of the most efficient and economical methods to the management of building opera¬ tions. Every detail of the work is covered by the single contract which we make with you. The results obtained for the owner are these: The work is completed within the sum decided upon; the buildiDg is the kind of a building the owner wants; the progress of the work from step to step is smooth ; no steps have to be retaken ; the owner has the pleasure of seeing his house grow to completion, without carrying on his shoulders the onerous respon¬ sibility of endless details. In the past eleven years, houses, banks, clubs, libraries, and churches have been designed, erected and fur¬ nished under the Hoggson Method, in almost every state in the Union. We have had many clients. What have they gained ? Experience. What have been their conclusions P That if they were building again they would again adopt the Hoggson Method. Many of them have already done so. Let us first explain, and then prove to you what you would gain by adopting the Hoggson Method in your build¬ ing operations.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— PUBLIC A TIONS THE NOVEMBER CENTURY BEGINS THE EIGHTY-THIRD VOLUME A COMEDY BY SIR W. S. GILBERT . . . _ The Second of Two Hitherto Unpublished Plays by the Late Author of “Pinafore,” "Patience," “The Mikado," etc. TRYING A DRAMATIST Following the tragic play, "The Hooligan," published in this num¬ ber of THE CENTURY, will appear a second piece by the inimit¬ able dramatist, "Trying a Dramatist." illustrated by Frederick Gardner. It is pure fun from beginning to end, and describes the trial of an author, before a jury, for producing a dull play. The satire is directed bom time to time at everybody connected with m_J I the theater. These two plays are the last work of the noted - IW - author, and he has done nothing better. THE CHARLES DICKENS CENTENARY THE CENTURY is planning a number in which the material relating to the great English novelist will be of notable interest. A hitherto unknown portrait will be presented, together with capital drawings of Dickens character studies. There will be a novel paper. “ Dickens Characters in Real Life," by Harold Begbie, author of the well-known book of London low life, "T wice-Born Men"; and a bird’s-eye view of Dickens’s influence by Dr. William Lyon Phelps of Yale. A NEW NOVEL BY WILLIAM J. LOCKE Author of "The Beloved Vagabond," "The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne," "The Glory of Clementina," etc. STELLA MARIS THE CENTURY has arranged for the publication during 1912 of Mr. Locke’s next novel. The opening scenes occur in a great room in a house on top of a cliff on the English south coast, and the plot revolves around a charming character, Stella, whose pet name, Stella Maris (Star of the Sea), is the title of the story. She is a rich orphan and, at the opening of the story, an invalid, living with an uncle and aunt, who with her other friends, including two men. a journalist and an actor, have kept from her all knowledge of the evil and the misery in the world. It is a novel which takes Mr. Locke into perhaps a deeper study of life than anything he has previously written. It will begin in the January number.

CENTURY ADVER TISEMENTS-PUBLICA TIONS 5 The Century in 1912 THE MIDDLE WEST PAPERS BY PROFESSOR ROSS Professor of Sociology in the University of Wisconsin, author of " The Changing Chinese,’ "Social Control," "Foundations of Sociology," etc. Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross, Ph.D., LL.D., one of the most brilliant American writers of the day, is preparing four papers on the characteristics and influences of the Ohio and Mississippi Valley States, differentiating that section from the East and inter¬ preting it to the whole country. He will consider his subject from many points of view — social, political, financial, educational, etc. $ UNIQUE TRAVEL PAPERS A Narrative of Personal Experiences Across the Andes and , * , , IV. Down to the Amazon, by Charles Johnson Post ACROSS SOUTH AMERICA In these days of general travel, THE CENTURY aims to present only unique narratives in this field. Mr. Post here records his adventurous trip from La Paz across the Andes by mule-back, and down the Mapiri River by raft, through perilous rapids, through the rubber country to the Amazon. He was a traveler who welcomed the unexpected, and is able to tell an interesting story, illustrated with his own pictures. Other travel papers of a novel sort are in hand or in preparation. ON AMERICAN COOKERY A Series of Articles by Henry T. Finck, of the New Y ork Evening Post Mr. Finck for many years has made a special study of gastronomic subjects, and his articles — be¬ ginning in this number of THE CENTURY — on " The Theory of Wholesome Elating," " Mul¬ tiplying the Pleasures of the Table," and " The Future of Cooking and Elating" are full of practical suggestions both for the housewife and the general reader. The wide-spread current interest in pure food and the cost of living makes this group of articles specially timely.

6 CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS-PUBLICATIONS The Century in 1912 DEMOCRACY AND MANNERS BY DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT The former President of Harvard University has written for THE CENTURY an article discussing a subject of wide interest and much importance in a paper which cannot fail to attract attention and comment. Some months ago THE CENTURY sent circular letters of inquiry to the superintendents of the public schools to ascertain to what extent training in manners is given under their charge, and the replies, some seven hundred and fifty, were turned over to Dr. Elliot. With these as text, he has written an article which will appear in the December number of THE Century. THE AMERICAN VOICE-DR. OSLER Dr. (Sir William) Osier, Regius Professor of Medicine of Oxford University, and Honorary Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, is writing for THE CENTURY on "The American Voice," a subject on which he has collected observations for many years, and one which he considers of importance. THE AMERICAN UNDERGRADUATE By Clayton Sedgwick Cooper, author of " College Men and the Bible." FIVE SIGNIFICANT PAPERS Probably at no time has the question of the character and life of the undergraduate in the American College been more in the public mind. These papers, the result of many months of study, touch the interest and welfare of every family in America. They will discuss the general characteristics of the American undergraduate, "education k la carte," society life in American colleges, choosing a college, and the American undergraduate in the world to-day. JEFFERSON - MILLET- WHITMAN Papers of reminiscence and biography of fascinating interest will relate to Joseph Jefferson (by Miss Mary Shaw); Jean Francois Millet, including an account of his return to his birthplace; a paper of "personal opinions" by Walt Whitman; and a special article by Christian Brinton on Maxfield Parrish. Early numbers of THE CENTURY will be rich in other biographical matter of importance and interest, and the personal interest will be enhanced by the MANY INTERESTING ILLUSTRATIONS THE NOVEMBER CENTURY BEGINS THE EIGHTY-THIRD VOLUME

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS-PUBL1CATIONS 7 The Century in 1912 A NOTABLE BIOGRAPHY “EVERYBODY’S SAINT FRANCIS Text by Maurice Francis Egan, American Minister to Denmark Illustrations by Maurice Boutet de Monvel. Mr. Egan is a poet, and an authority on church history. Boutet de Monvel is one of the greatest of living French artists, and the illustrator of the famous Jeanne d’Arc series. He has made spe¬ cial studies at Assisi for these illustrations, many of which will be shown in color. The result will be a noteworthy life of the saint, who for five centuries has stirred the admiration of Catholics and Protestants alike, and one of the most charming biographies which THE CENTURY has ever offered to its readers. PICTURES BY PENNELL Joseph Pennell, recognized as among the very foremost of living etchers, will visit Panama to make sketches of the Canal, which will be an attractive art feature of THE CENTURY during 1912. WHISTLER AS DECORATOR Mr. and Mrs. Pennell, the well-known experts on Whisder, will contribute a paper pi unusual artistic interest on a somewhat neglected phase of activity of the great American painter, with illustrative material heretofore not shown to the public. MORE COLE ENGRAVINGS For thirty years Timothy Cole, greatest of living wood-engravers, has been working exclusively for THE CENTURY, and the great¬ est masterpieces of Europe have been reproduced by him in its pages. During the past year the examples of the masterpieces of the American galleries, which Mr. Cole has engraved and THE CENTURY has reproduced, have been both beautiful in subject and exquisite in execution. THE CENTURY, during 1912, will reproduce some of the finest blocks which Mr. Cole has engraved, and will continue indefinitely with this valuable enterprise.

It is really an actual instance where two words might save the sufferings and deaths of thousands of women. Every woman should read this article.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— PUBLIC A TIONS I 2 HARPER’S for 1912 FIVE years before his death Mark Twain selected Albert Bigelow Paine to be his authorized biographer. Since that time Mr. Paine has given practically all his time to this great work. He lived in close touch with Mark Twain. In his hands were placed the accumulated letters, notes, and memoranda of a lifetime. He has visited every place where Mark Twain ever lived. The result is a human document more fascinating than fiction. Through it all runs that delightful humor which characterized Mark Twain's life no less than his writings. H. G. WELLS ON SOCIALISM HG. WELLS is not only one of the most # brilliant writers of to-day, but one of the ablest thinkers. He has written for Harper’s Magazine a number of articles in which he presents an absolutely new view cf Socialism. No subject is engrossing so much of the thought of intelligent men and women and Mr. Wells's emi¬ nently sound and thoughtful articles are certain to attract the widest attention. HARPER'S MAGAZINE — for sixty-one years the greatest illustrated magazine of the English-s{>eaking world — stands to-day in a stronger position than ever in point both of circulation and of literary and artistic apjieal. The reasons for this success may be summed up in a single sentence: It is the most interesting and the most beautiful Magazine published. It is in Harper's that the great explorers, travelers, and scientists give the first ac¬ counts of their ej>och-making discoveries. It is in Harper's that the foremost historians, scholars, and men of letters first pre¬ sent their greatest work. It is in Harper's that most of the famous short-story writers now living have made their mark, and in Harper's their greatest work appears. America and England have given of their best to make the coming year the most notable in the Magazine's history. And in the consideration of every plan, every expedition, every suggested idea, the first question has been that of interestingness. With¬ out that quality no contribution can gain a place. It is impossible to give a complete outline of plans. It is a pleasure, however, to indicate a few features of the coming months. MARK TWAIN. Episodes from an Extraordinary LUe

CENTURY AD VER T IS EM ENTS— PUBLI CA T IONS i i ARNOLD BENNETT’S i First Impressions ol America ARNOLD BENNETT is, beyond question, the most- talked-of English author of the day. A brilliant realistic novelist, a delightful philosopher, and a de¬ scriptive writer gifted with rare powers of both observation and expression, he stands a unique figure in contemporary literature. Mr. Bennett has come to America for his first visit to write exclusively for Harper's Magazine. He will show us to ourselves as we really are. America and Ameri¬ cans will be his theme. In order that the illustrations for Mr. Bennett's articles may be thoroughly in accord with the spirit of the text, the editors have persuaded Mr. Frank Craig, the leading English illustrator, to accompany Mr. Bennett to this country. ,M*Mbr a o. II A NEW SERIAL NOVEL By the Author of "The Inner Shrine” OF this most important feature of the Magazine for 1912 it is only necessary to say that it marks the crowning point of the author's literary achievement. The new story is entitled “The Street Called Straight.” It deals with a most modern phase of American life — dramatic, tense. It will be illustrated by Orson Lowell. LETTERS OF A DIPLOMAT’S WIFE MADAME DE HEGERMANN-LINDENCRONE. the wife of a distinguished diplo¬ mat, is now preparing for publication in Harper's reminiscences of the greatest importance and interest.

Frederick Funston has written is more replete with dramatic interest than the story he will tell in this number of “The Capture of Emilio Aguinaldo.” For sheer adventure and absorbing plot it would be hard to match it in any romance by Dumas.

A REMARKABLY SUCCESSFUL INNOVATION— THE INDIA PAPER EDITION OF THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA TIIE remarkable improvement in the physical pet-up of the volumes at once opened up limitless possibilities for the reader. Reading an encyclopedia for the sake of reading became an enjoyable and fascinating experience hitherto denied to all users of this work. Vet no other book, as a matter of fact, offers so much that is calculated to arrest the attention and benefit the mind as does this one, which drafts its contributors from the whole world of scholarship, belles letters and achievement, and which includes in its 44,000,01)0 words of text " everything that can possibly interest or concern a civili*cd people." Interior View Shuwin* the li.du Kdilioo in use in an Kugluh Couutry Houm NOW A BOOK TO READ MERELY FOR PLEASURE It is open to question which of these new features— the sponsorship of the great English University, the use of India paper for a work traditionally regarded as a series of bulky and unattractive volumes, or the low price— contributed most to the extraordinary suc¬ cess of the first distribution. "Nothing succeeds like success,” and so the novelty of the idea of the Kn- cyclopxdia Hritannica actually falling at last into the category of liooks that one likes to have close at hand — for arm-chair or fire-side reading, or handy enough "to tuck in a grip,” as a New England college pro¬ fessor expressed it— quickly appealed to a wide circle of American and English l>ook buyers, and ultimately forced the publishers to resort to the expedient of accepting thousands of orders subject to delay in manufacture. The manufacture of the 11th Edition exceeded all records in the printing and binding of bth and Octolicr 2oth. Of these, IK) per cent were printed on India paper, and but 10 per cent on ordinary book |>apcr, the almost unanimous preference of the public for the convenient new India paper form testifying to the fact that a new- standard in the technical production of books had been reached. It was necessary to purchase abroad 2.000 tons of India pa|>er, none being made in this country. ASO.mo covers for the India paper volumes, bound in Full Flexible Sheepskin and Full Flexible Morocco, were also imported. PROMPT DELIVERY ASSURED The Cambridge ( imenity Aru /.« aide to announce that all a reran in delivery ha;e feen caught up, the /ii bln hen hazing for tome months JezotcJ them seiz es '.. holly to the task of manu facturing, of dealing with the largest aggregate of sales in the history of publishing They arc dally in receipt of evidence (in the form of appreciative and enthusiastic letters from subscribers in every walk of life) of the extended reputation of the work for every purpose of reading, reference and research. In view of this popular endorsement of the book as sustaining the fame of the university whose imprimatur it hears, as also the great tradition, extending over NO )ear», of The Encyclopedia of which it constitutes the last edition, the publishers, in reo|>ening the sub¬ scription list', confidently anticipate a demand for the forthcoming issue which will rival that for the first. The printing and binding of so large a work arc, necessarily, slow, especially in the case of the India paper edition, and the publishers are far from san¬ guine that the available supply will suffice to meet the orders due to the approaching Christmas season. ORDERS FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS Therefore, subscribers who contemplate presenting the 11th Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a Christmas gift — and. assuredly, no gift could be conceived which would be more prized, more useful, or which, in years of efficient service, would more frequently recall the donor — are advised to make immediate application, for only if they do so can the publishers guarantee delivery on or before December 25th. Partic¬ ularly is this advice offered in the case of subscribers living in remote parts of the country, in shipping to whom allowance must be made for a considerable interval for transport and for possible delays en route.

How the undercurrents of the city form these two is unfolded in a drama of stirring episodes. The huge city which does this becomes almost a character in the book. Out of the struggle a new type emerges, a working girl, who leads strikers and helps the hero to find himself. Post Sro. S/.2J net.

Mrs. Deland pictures youth — dewy, virginal youth — in all its tenderness and passion, its foolish obstin¬ acy, and generous impulsiveness, with truthful idealism. Her young people are wonderfully attractive in their perfect nat¬ uralness. She portrays the elders — people whom life has hardened — with just as deep understanding and sympathy. She has a way of penetrating the outward husk of habit and finding the living heart under¬ neath. As for the story itself — it is diffi¬ cult to speak of its beauty in terms of self-restraint. Hamilton W. Maiiif. writes in The Outlook: "Mrs. Deland strikes a great note with the certainty bom of a deep and reverent knowledge of life and a deep spiritual sense of both the frankness and reticence of art."

The pictures show him bathing in a canary's bath-tub, while his clothes hang on the perches; fishing in the goldfish bowl, much taller than himself; racing over the keyboard of the piano; playing leapfrog over the salt-cellars; and hunting for game among the high jungle of ferns on a dining-room table.

Barrie, written with all that indescribable charm that has endeared him to thousands, tells the story of how Wendy and her brothers flew to the “Never Never I .and " with a boy who never grew up; of the adventures that there befell with wolves and redskins and pirates ; of the building of Wendy's house, and the delight of the little boys who now had a mother at last. In short, it is the narrative of the play “ Peter Pan " with its peculiar fascination heightened by new fantasies and containing much that no play could contain of Barrie's humor and feeling in comment and de- scription. The story carries farther than did the play, too, and ends more satisfactorily; but the main thing is that here in permanent form, within the reach of every one always, is the adorable Peter to crow at his own prowess, and the mischievous Tinker Bell, and the terrible Cap¬ tain Hook with his crocodile Nemesis, and the marvellous nurse Nana. • $1.50 net The Confessions of His Autobiography a . /-y •111 Revised and Edited Artemas ljuibble By Of the New York Bar ARTHUR TRAIN “The ingenuous and unvarnished history of Artemas Quibble, Esquire, one-time practitioner in the New York Criminal Courts.” Mr. Artemas Quibble is unquestionably a rogue.

m News Notes of The Century This number of The Century begins the eighty-third volume of the magazine. And what a wealth of literature and art is em¬ bodied in the eightv-two volumes of The Century Magazine that have gone before! How it brings before the magazine reader of to-day the distinguished novels, short stories, art, and world-read biographies which The Century has printed! It was in November, 1870, that the first number of The Century was issued under the name "Scribner’s Monthly," which in 1881 was changed to The Century Maga¬ zine. Looking back over the forty-one years which have passed since then, one recalls the famous War Papers which Current Lit¬ erature said at the time, "created the greatest interest ever felt in any series of articles published in magazines.” For this series, General Grant was first induced to write his recollections of famous battles, the foundation of his well-known "Personal Memoirs" which the General finished on his dying bed, leaving a book which brought a fortune to his family. One hundred thou¬ sand new subscribers were added by reason of the publication of this series. The war series was followed by the "Life of Lincoln," written by Messrs. Hay and Nicolay, private secretaries to the Presi¬ dent, who received fifty thousand dollars for the right of serial publication of their life work in The Century Magazine. This is the standard life of Lincoln. George Kennan’s great expose of the Si¬ berian convict system was another of the early successes of The Century; and Sloane's "Napoleon," Eugene Schuyler's "Peter the Great," Morley’s "Oliver Cromwell" are fresh in the minds of magazine readers to¬ day. The year 1912 will be one of the best The Century has ever seen. Pursuant to its cus¬ tom of endeavoring to secure the most pop¬ ular novelist for its leading serial, this year The Century announces that it will print a new novel by W. J. Locke, whose famous books have been read by hundreds of thousands during the past few years. It is not possible to print at this time anything like a complete list of the fiction features which The Century is to have. There are stories in hand by Man- Austin. George Madden Martin. Lucy Furman. L. Frank looker. Elsie Singmaster, and many other well-known writers, and plenty of Oliver Herford's good fun. Edward Alsworth Ross, one of the most brilliant writers of the day, is preparing a series of papers for the new volume of The Century on the Middle West. Dr. Ross is professor of sociology in the University of Wisconsin, and author of those significant books, "Social Control," "Sin and Society," and, just issued, "The Changing Chinese.” Professor Ross is inclined to stress social environment rather than heredity, to explain national character in terms of social history rather than of race, and to look to economic factors for interpretation rather than to philosophical ideas. He lays great stress upon the swiftness of contemporary social development, and is a leader in inciting pub¬ lic opinion to catch up with actual society. He feels that in a tumultuously dynamic epoch like ours, the chief danger is lest ad¬ justment in laws and institutions be made tardily, and only after a needless interval of acute suffering. A notable scries of papers, to appear soon in The Century, will discuss the American undergraduate, his general character, his relation to his college and to society at large. The writer, Charles Sedgwick Cooper, author of "College Men and the Bible," has made a study of college condi¬ tions in the United States, Canada, and Europe for many years, and has visited re¬ cently practically all of the important edu¬ cational institutions in India, Ceylon, China, Korea, and Japan. While Mr. Cooper has consulted largely with prominent educators and public men throughout the country, his facts and opinions are based almost entirely upon actual contact with students in lec¬ ture-rooms, fraternity houses, the athletic field and campus, in large public gatherings, and in thousands of personal interviews. It is perhaps through the latter channel, the intimate personal contact with the individual undergraduate, says Mr. Sedgwick, that one comes nearer to the real gist and trend of the college man's deeper sentiment. It is impossible to give in a few pages, or in any number of pages at this early date, an adequate idea of the good things which may be expected in The Century during 1912. One of the most notable features already assured for the new volume will be the life of the world’s greatest saint, a splen¬ did series of papers on St. Francis of As¬ sisi. the text by Maurice Francis Egan, American Minister to Denmark, the beau¬ tiful illustrations in color by Boutct dc Monvel, the great French artist. 51

News Notes of The Century For the forty-one years of its existence, 1 he Century has been a leader among mag¬ azines in what it has done for art. The greatest living illustrators contribute fre¬ quently to its pages, and articles on artists and their work have always been a leading feature. In The Century the work of Jean bran^ois Millet was first brought to popu¬ lar attention, and in 1912 there will be an¬ other article on Millet containing much that is new about him. What The Century Magazine has con¬ stantly striven for has been noble art rather than popular illustration. A partial array of the artists who will work for The Cen¬ tury during the coming year gives some idea of the brilliance and excellence of its decorative features. I imothy Cole, the greatest wood-en¬ graver in the world, who for twenty-eight years has been engraving the Old .\ I asters in European Galleries, will contribute to its pages his beautiful woodcuts of "Mas¬ terpieces in American Galleries." He re¬ turned to America for the purpose of doing just this work. His truly remarkable blocks should draw attention to the great treasures of art in the public and private collections of the United States. Charles Dickens heretofore unreproduced, and by the use of four drawings by S. J. Woolf depictmg the best known characters ot Dickens s novels including Scrooge, Sarah liamp, etc., etc. Lovers of Japanese art will be glad to learn that The Century contemplates the publication of some authoritative articles on Japanese prints. These articles will be embellished with many illustrations in black and white and some in color. bEW American artists have won such de- served fame and reputation as Mr. Max- held I arrish, and The Century is glad to announce that an article on Mr. Parrish and his work will shortly appear from the hands of Mr. Christian Brinton, the distin¬ guished art critic. It will be embellished with many reproductions of Parrish's work. In color work The Century will be par¬ ticularly strong, in 1912 as in the years past, maintaining the high standard of its repro¬ ductive color plates and its careful and artistic color-printing. Foreign artists and their -work will be regularly considered. Reproductions of single pictures or groups of Pictures by them will be a notable feature of I he Century in 1912. An important group of articles on Jean Franqois Millet, the great French painter of "The Angelus," will be a noteworthy feature of the coming year. Karl Bodmer, the Swiss painter, who drew American land¬ scapes, will be one of the contributors. He knew Millet intimately. These reminis¬ cences arc, in effect, art criticisms of the most entertaining kind and show interest¬ ingly the nobility of character of the great¬ est painter of our day. These articles will be illustrated by many heretofore unrepro¬ duced masterpieces by Millet. Arthur Rackham, by many people con¬ sidered the greatest living delineator of children, has promised to contribute to the pages of The Century during 1912. Boutet de Monvel, the most charming and imaginative of French illustrators, is to contribute a splendid scries of drawings illustrating the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Many of these pictures will be in color, and all of them will be in de Monvel's graceful and distinguished manner. The Dickens centenary will be celebrated by 7 lie Century Magazine by the publica¬ tion, in color, of an authentic portrait of 0"“0f thc interesting experiments of / he Century during 1912, will be the care¬ ful reproduction of certain well-known color etchings. Among the etchings repro¬ duced will be some of the work of C. F. W. Mielatz, whose views of New York in this medium have won him a well-deserved fame. In the matter of engraving, The Century will continue preeminent among American magazines. It is not enough for The Cen¬ tury that a plate be fnade by the best Amer¬ ican process houses. When the process house has finished with a plate, it is the cus¬ tom of /'he Century to place the more no¬ table plates in the hands of a few carefully chosen engravers. These men are consum¬ mate artists in their work. In their hands the plates are carefully retouched. High lights are brought out; "values" are re¬ stored, and the original meaning of the art¬ ist most carefully and precisely preserved. During 1912, The Century will spend thou¬ sands of dollars in retouching its plates, a work that, commercially speaking, is en¬ tirely unnecessary, but which, artistically, will help The Century to maintain its al¬ ready high reputation in the field of Ameri¬ can art. 52

CENT UR Y ADVER TISEMEXTS-PUBLICA TIONS 8 1 The Wise Man at Your Elbow When anything big or unusual happens or is de¬ veloped, whenever there is an unusual accident, you are very certain to see facts or deductions presented by the Scientific American quoted in the daily newspapers. It is regarded as a final authority. Sometimes it happens that the most valuable things in the journal are not quoted. Then those who read it regularly are likely to get something exceedingly use¬ ful the others miss. The Scientific American is the wise man at the elbow of the intelligent man, coming each week and telling him with technical accuracy, but in a simple, direct fashion the things he wants to know. This is why 2,758 out of the 3,000 active libraries in the United States subscribe for it. This is why practically every Y. M. C. A. subscribes for it. The men who conduct these institutions are men of affairs, the men who do things. They know how necessary the Scientific American is to those who really want to know what is going on in the world. For sixty-seven years the Scientific American has re¬ corded fully, accurately, the great events in history, the tools and inventions that have revolutionized our daily life. It is bigger, better, more comprehensive than ever it was. It is advancing as science is advancing. We have a little booklet called “ Ten Stories' ' that is worth reading, because the anecdotes though old are new, because they haven’t been told before, and they are amazingly interesting. Maybe you can find the advertising in it if you study it, but anyway you will find the tales very much worth while. We will send it for the asking.

CENTURY ADVER TISEMEN TS-AUTOMOBILES Why we can Build a 30 H.P. Five- Passenger Fore -Door Touring Car to Sell for $900 npO the average man an automobile fac- JL tory is merely a factory — a place where cars are made. Yet there is the greatest difference in the world. On one hand you have a plant, which, on ac¬ count of its great production, can make and sell its car for far less than the other factory. And on the other hand you might have a very ■mall factory, which, while it produces • ifood car, has a very small capacity, and its car for car production costs are considerably higher than those of the larger plant. That is why you find one manufacturer selling his 30 horsepower touring car for $1250 while we market that type of maohine for $900. CL We have just published a very thorough book which explains in a clear, definite and readable manner the difference in automobile plants. And the point of this whole book is to prove the economical manufacturing ability of the Overland plants— to prove its strength by showing and explaining to you the interior and exterior of the greatest automobile plaot in the world. The book is free. It is interesting and full of information. C, Above all it give* you a clear understanding of economic, in the production ol automobile* in Srcat quantities, and we believe it proves why no other manufacturer in the business can pro* dues the car described below and sell it at our price without losing money. To realize this you have but to compare this automobile with any other similar car on the market. Do this and the eiceptional value of this car will show you where to invest your money. Our Model S9 is the most progressive step the industry has ever witnessed and it means a great deal to the motor buyers of America.

The instant response of the car to your slightest wish naturally creates an irresistible desire to know about the unseen beauty of its mechanism upon which all depends. You wish to know about the storage of electricity, how it is turned into mechanical power by the motor and then carried to the wheels without waste through the “Chain- less" Shaft Drive — another patented feature. Explanatory Note-The word "Chaintess~docs not refer to the absence of side chains alone, but applied to theahuft drive, means no chain or gear reductions concealed at the motor, be¬ neath the car. A "Chainlets'* Shaft Drive has 1130 fewer parts than a Shaft Drive constructed with concealed chains, a self-evident advantage. All battery cells are "get-at-able" by sim¬ ply raising the piano-hinged hoods, an absolute necessity for proper inspection and "venting” while on charge. All body panels are of aluminum. They do not check, crack or warp. That means long life, con¬ tinued beauty of finish and easy repair.

To find that day after day its convenience is impressed upon you; that you experience a fresh sense of pleasure each time you enter its various rooms ; that you never tire of it; that as you approach it from without you feel a keen an¬ ticipation of the comfort there is within — these are proofs of a “ successful house.” But that is not all. It is worth much to know that every dollar you put into your house is giving you a daily return ; to remem¬ ber with pleasure the building of it ; how each stage of its progress from the foundations to the furnishings filled you with satisfaction, unalloyed by delays, disputes and wasteful expense. The purpose behind the Hoggson Method is to produce “successful houses ” in all that the phrase implies. We have practised this method successfully for so many years and for so many clients, who endorse it as the surest means of securing a “successful house,” that we urge you to in¬ vestigate.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— FOOD PRODUCTS i Evidence about Oleomargarine Before Congress The following are some extracts from testimony presented at the hear¬ ings before the Committee on Agricul¬ ture during the second session of the 61st Congress on the bills relating to Oleomargarine. “The time was when our forefathers were satisfied with the ordinary refrigeration which nature gave them in the production of ice. The possibility of manufacturing ice by artificial means never occurred to them at that period. ’’ " Paper years ago was manufactured wholly from rags. It is now being produced from the trees of the forest and the grain fields, and even from the product of manufactories that in times past was wasted. Should it be said that an ar¬ ticle thus produced is inferior and docs not fill the requirements of that which was originally manufactucd by the old method?” “The time was when the only means of manufacturing sugar was through raising the sugar cane, extracting the juice, boiling and re¬ fining it, producing the article known as sugar. A new process was discovered. The saccharine matter that was produced through this medium had grown to such proportions as to take the place, in a large measure, of the article origin¬ ally known as sugar. Was this new process of making sugar regarded as calamitous to the growth of sugar cane, or to the producers and consumers of sugar made by the older method? No. Our Government offered and paid bounties for such in order to encourage the beet sugar industry in this country and to foster and give to us an industry that would be of material benefit." “The claim is made that Oleomargarine is imitation butter. The article at one time may have been known as imitation butter, but that day is past, and it is manufactured and sold as Oleomargarine and has its commercial existence under that name, and to it should be accorded the right of existence as such.” “It is well to note here that the present pure food laws, both of the Federal Government and the different states prevent any article of food to be manufactured that is deleterious, so that the article itself is at present surrounded with suffi¬ cient good laws regarding the materials from which it is manufactured, and the process of such, as to insure its freedom from anything that is unwholesome or uncleanly.” “If this article is one of legitimate manufac¬ ture and suitable as a substitute for butter, and if we take the statement the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to the effect that the present tax to a great extent is inoperative, or does not produce sufficent revenue for the expense involved in the collection of same, then why should any tax whatsoever be exacted?" “It should be stated that those that are most affected by this tax are the consumers, and the consumers in this case embrace the poorer class. Why is this tax imposed and on an article that should enter into the daily food consumption of the poorer class, because if the article is entitled to existence it should have the right to be manu¬ factured for what it is, should be sold for what it is, and every American citizen should have the right to purchase it for what is, and not be com¬ pelled to pay an exorbitant price for butter that in no wise is any better for his purpose than an article which should be within his reach— Oleo¬ margarine." The tax on Oleomargarine can be re¬ moved by public demand. This is a question of greatest importance to you, the consumer, for the tax money comes out of your pocket Insist on your dealer supplying you with a relia¬ ble brand of Oleomargarine — Swift’s Premium Oleomargarine. Also write your Congressman and tell him when the bill for removing the tax on Oleomargarine is introduced that you will appreciate his support. Swift’s Premium Oleomargarine is made in new sanitary factories, open to the daily inspection of the general public and always in charge of U. S. Government Inspectors, who pass on the quality and condition of all materi¬ als ; see that everything is kept abso¬ lutely clean, and that every provision of the law governing the manufacture of Oleomargarine and its sale by the man¬ ufacturers is strictly complied with.

Locke, written in that style which his readers have learned to love, Stella is an in¬ valid, seemingly compelled to spend her life lying on her back in a big, beautiful room. This room is all windows on one side and looks out upon the sea. So Stella has come to be known to her friends as “Stella Maris.” Her world is the world these friends bring to her sick-room, and they keep from her all knowledge of its misery and wrong. It is when she recovers and learns what the real world is that Locke has a chance for those contrasts which make his stories so fascinating and which he works out so in¬ geniously. Stella Maris in her individual way has the charm of Clementina, of Zora, of all the Locke heroines. “ Stella Maris ” will be the serial of The Century for the forthcoming year, beginning in the January number.

Many policies, says Professor Ross, now Western, are bound to become in the end Ameri¬ can policies. His presentation of his general subject will take up the questions of the reaffirmation of democracy, the unique work of the State Universities, equalizing opportunity, and how the Middle West is putting human welfare above property rights. Professor Ross is one of the most original and force¬ ful thinkers and writers of the day; and these papers will have nation-wide interest and importance. THE MIDDLE WEST— PROF. ROSS

Merely to enumerate these would be too great a task, but such exam¬ ples as the life of Lincoln by Nicolay and Hay, Gilder’s own ‘Lincoln the Leader,’ Sloane’s ‘Napoleon,’ Morley’s life of Oliver Cromwell, and the unforgettable memoirs of Millet, will be sufficient to start a train of memories that cannot fail to culminate in a feeling of genuine gratitude. ” — The Argonaut. A feature of The Century during 1912 will be “Everybody’s Saint Francis,” the text by Maurice Francis Egan, American Minister to Denmark, the illustrations by Maurice Boutet de Monvel. Mr. Egan is a poet, and an authority on church history. Boutet de Monvel is one of the greatest of living French artists. The result will be a noteworthy life of the saint, who for five centuries has stirred the admiration of Catholics and Protestants alike. “EVERYBODY’S SAINT FRANCIS”

16 CENTURY AD TER TISEM ENTS— PUBLICATIONS HARPER’S Yor 1912 HARPER'S MAGAZINE — for sixty' -one years the greatest illustrated magazine of the English-speaking world — stands to-day in a stronger position than ever in point both of circulation and of literary and artistic appeal. The reasons for this success may be summed up in a single sentence: It is the most interesting and the most beautiful Magazine published. It is in Harper’s that the great explorers, travelers, and scientists give the first ac¬ counts of their epoch-making discoveries. It is in Harper’s that the foremost historians, scholars, and men of letters first pre¬ sent their greatest work. It is in Harper’s that most of the famous short-story writers now living have made their mark, and in Harper's their greatest work appears. America and England have given of their best to make the coming year the most notable in the Magazine's history. And in the consideration of every plan, every' expedition, every suggested idea, the first question has been that of interestingness. With¬ out that quality no contribution can gain a place. It is impossible to give a complete outline of plans. It is a pleasure, however, to indicate a few features of the coming months. % H. G. WELLS ON SOCIALISM HG. WELLS is not only one of the most # brilliant writers of to-day. but one of the ablest thinkers. He has written for Harper s Magazine a number of articles in which he presents an absolutely new view of Socialism. No subject is engrossing so much of the thought of intelligent men and women and Mr. Wells’s emi¬ nently sound and thoughtful articles are certain to attract the widest attention. MARK TWAIN. Episodes from an Extraordinary Life FIVE y'ears before his death Mark Twain selected Albert Bigelow Paine to be his authorized biographer. Since that time Mr. Paine has given practically all his time to this great work. He lived in close touch with Mark Twain. In his hands were placed the accumulated letters, notes, and memoranda of a lifetime. He has visited every place where Mark Twain ever lived. The result is a human document more fascinating than fiction. Through it all runs that delightful humor which characterized Mark Twain’s life no less than his writings.

CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— BOOKS Mrs. Humphry Ward yluthor of “Robert Elsmere " ha* written a sequel to that novel which to ttirred England and America The Case of Richard Meynell c For twenty years Mrs. Ward has written no book so important and vitally interesting as this. The publishers, while they fully realize the seriousness of the statement, believe that “ The Case of Richard Meynell” is a greater work than “ Robert Elsmere.” It represents the more mature and vivid statement of questions which are being propounded in all countries where people are awake to changing conditions in all churches and all sects. As a story, the career of Richard Meynell is vastly absorbing and the statement of the new conditions twenty years after Elsmere’s time is powerful in the telling, as well as important.

NEW BOOK NOTES UCH of the charm of the text of that almost ideal volume, “The Lure of the Garden," is due to the author's own intense love of gardens. “It is only lately," Miss Hawthorne said this summer in speaking of the book during its making, "that I have become, through force of necessity, a citv-dweller, and this writing about gardens is a delight and a kind of mental return. This lure of the garden is desperately strong, once felt, but of all the obsessions we are subject to, it strikes me as the most satisfactory — books are good, but the garden takes you into the sun and rain and mixes you up generally with the earth, which most of us get too far away from. ... If any one is influenced by this book to make a garden, I shall be almost as delighted as when I set to make my own." But Miss Hawthorne, the readers of her book will find, uses the phrase "make a gar¬ den" in a sense larger than the popularly accepted one. It is the social side of gardens which she avowedly endeavors to convey to her fortunate reader, and an understanding of how the social value of gardens is com¬ ing to be better understood and enjoyed here in America; how even a very small place is capable of yielding a vast deal of pleasure, and how the secret of thoroughly using a garden is one well worth knowing. A more exquisite piece of book-making than this, it would be hard to find. One of the really worth while gift-books of the holiday season is the charming new edition of "/F.sop's Fables," richly bound, with an unusual combination of quaint drawings by that clever illustrator, E. Boyd Smith, choice type, and delicate pages in tint. For generations these fables have been among the evergreens of literature; but they arc new to every generation, and so long as language endures their wit and wisdom will make appeal. There has been no book published on China and the Chinese people so valuable and illu¬ minating as Professor Edward Alsworth Ross's "The Changing Chinese." Professor Ross’s long residence on the Western coast gave him special interest in the Orient and its problems; then he took a year's leave of absence, and spent several months traveling in China and studying Chinese society, and the problems of its religion, education, posi¬ tion of women, opium, and labor. Professor Ross is a severe critic of Chinese civilization, but a warm admirer of the people and a firm believer in their destiny. In China he sees reproduced the European Middle Ages before the regenerative introduction of the Greek culture. The Chinese are on the threshold of thrir Renaissance, he says. He applauds the labors of missionaries and edu¬ cators to introduce Western ideals and learning into China, but at the same time upholds the policy of immigration barriers against the Chinese until the relation be¬ tween population and opportunities in China has approximated to that between population and opportunities in the West. "The fact is," says Professor Ross, "to the traveler who appreciates how different is the mental horizon that goes with another stage of culture or another type of social organization than his own, the Chinese do not seem very puzzling. Allowing for dif¬ ference in outfit of knowledge and funda¬ mental ideas, they act much as we should act under their circumstances." His discussion of China as it appears to the ranging eye, the race fiber of the Chi¬ nese, the race mind of the Chinese, the struggle for existence in China, the indus¬ trial future of China, its grapple with the opium evil, the unbinding of the Chinese women, Christianity in China, "the Far West in the Far East," is intensely interest¬ ing reading. It is a volume absolutely essen¬ tial to a right understanding of the struggle now going on in China. Young folks will enjoy Jean Webster's new book. "Just Patty"; but it is the older folks, who have known some of the responsibilities and heartaches of life, who will get the most out of the nonsense and fun of this altogether delightful little record of the pranks of a most bewitching school-girl heroine. The author is a grand¬ niece of Mark Twain: and her mother is the only person now living who was inti¬ mately associated with the great humorist’s early davs. There is added interest in reading Pro¬ fessor Forman's "Stories of Useful In¬ ventions," when one thinks of them as really chapters in the history of civilization, since in this connected record of the inven¬ tion of the match, the stove, the lamp, the forge, the steam-engine, etc., may be traced the growth of human progress. Professor Forman is the first to bring together in one book the evolution of these mile-stones in human history. It is a book which intelli¬ gent young people will specially enjoy. 61

NEW BOOK NOTES iARRY A. FRANCK went around, the world practically without a cent. It cost him $172 ro do Spain one summer; and the readers of his two books, “A Vagabond Journey Around the World" and "Four Months Afoot in Spain," will find it hard to decide on which of the two trips he— or they— had more pleasure. For the sum of $172 is, after all, a scant one to carry an American across the Atlan¬ tic and hack, and give him four months’ liv¬ ing, however humble. For those interested, who have not read his hook, here is the Spanish summer’s expense account : Trans¬ portation, $90; food and lodging, $55; bull¬ fights, sights, souvenirs, $10; miscellaneous, $17; total, $172. Those who read the full record of "Four Months Afoot in Spain" will find it a picturesque and altogether de¬ lightful story of one thousand miles on foot and twice that distance by third-class rail, always closely in touch with the masses of Spain's highways and byways. TllBRK is a personal flavor in Joseph H. Choate's new book, "American Addresses," which adds to its value and interest, since the addresses now gathered into book form — there arc twenty-two — recall events and associations with which the author was closely connected, and men whom he hon¬ ored and loved. These addresses range through a period of nearly fifty years, and in them the first place is given to "my kins¬ man, Rtifus Choate, because of my personal relations to him and my great obligations to him, and because now, after the lapse of more than fifty years since his death, he still stands as the most famous and fascinating of American advocates. The luster of his fame is not dimmed and the charm of his personality is as familiar and as beloved as ever. Few men and women now living have ever seen or heard of him. and his published orations and speeches give but a faint idea of the wonderful power of his presence and his voice, but the tradition of his matchless eloquence will linger for generations to come." Of the art critics of the day, Mr. Caffin stands unquestioned as an authority who has developed in an unusual degree the gift of imparting to others his understanding and appreciation of pictures. His new book. "The Story of French Painting." carries on that helpful series begun in "The Story of Dutch Painting" and continued in "The Story of Spanish Painting," but it has even more interest for the American student and reader than the earlier volumes, in that so many Americans are handing on the prin¬ ciples which they derived from their student¬ ship in Paris. Mr. Caffin’s latest book dis¬ cusses a number of individual painters, but makes no pretense of encyclopedic complete¬ ness. It aims to trace the evolution of French painting as it has been affected by outside influences and shaped by the genius of the French race. It aims, further, to correlate the growth of French painting with the changes in the social and political life of the nation, and with the manifestation of the French spirit in other departments of intellectual and artistic activities, particu¬ larly in that of literature. Paris, Mr. Caffin claims, has been to the modern world, dur¬ ing the late century, the clearing-house of artistic methods and ideals. His "Story of French Painting"- is therefore, in a large measure, the recapitulation of the varying motives and methods of painting in the mod¬ ern world. The illustrations have the more interest and value, because instead of repre¬ senting the work of individual artists, they have been selected with a view to empha¬ sizing phases of the general movement. Mexico is. naturally, much pleased with the new book of travel, "The Man Who Likes Mexico," written out of several years’ en¬ joyable experiences the length and breadth of Mexico, In' Wallace Gillpatrick, a New Knglander by birth, a Californian by adop¬ tion. and a New Yorker by virtue of resi¬ dence in later years. The feeling has been expressed in the Mexican papers that Mr. Gillpat rick’s work will do much to form new ties of friendship between Americans and Mexicans of culture. "The first thing that impressed me in Mexico," Mr. Gillpatrick says, "and con¬ tinued to impress me, was that the Mexicans took people at their face value. My chief and unfailing satisfaction in Mexico came from being accepted for purely human and personal reasons by my Mexican friends. I was happy in Mexico because the people and the land were sunny. I lived there nearly six years, traveled a great deal alone, both in cities and in lonely places, and never met with any save kind, courteous, and gen¬ erous treatment from the Mexicans." It is his genuine sympathy with Mexico and its people which makes the book a unique contribution to Mexican travel vol¬ umes. 62

Subscribers will now receive the new Encyclopaedia Britannica in one shipment. The incoming supplies of complete sets, fresh from the printer and binder, will ensure that orders registered now will be promptly executed. The preliminary announcement of the 11th Edition in advance of publication resulted in an unparalleled tribute to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, more than 32,000 orders for the work (value over $5,000,000) being registered before it was published. This necessarily involved inconvenience to many applicants, who had to wait for their books. It is advisable, however, that new applications shall be registered quickly — while the work is in stock. Should a new printing still be found necessary, it would again necessitate delay in turning out complete sets. Especially is immediate application advisable in the case of those who wish to purchase the new Encyclopaedia Britannica as a Christmas present.

A NEW ALL FLEXIBLE BINDING BOUND IN FULL LIMP VELVET SUEDE, AFFORDING A MAXIMUM OF FLEXIBILITY AND SOFTNESS. SMOOTH FRENCH CALF LINING. SILK SEWN. ROUND CORNERS. GILT EDGES, GOLD LETTERING ON SIDES AND BACK. WITH GOLD ROLL INSIDE COVERS In the I nd u I'jpcr, Full flexible quality of t This new binding for the India paper volumes has all the merits of previous styles as well as the following: 1. Greater Durability. The covers are rendered perfectly flexible by a lining of calfskin, and will therefore not crease or crack, as the customary cardboard lining has been dispensed with. 2. Greater Pliancy. The volumes are as flexible and “give" as though the covers were removed and only the India paper contents remained. They may be folded into fourwithout risk of da mage (see photograph overleaf). 3. Greater Portability. The new Encyclopaedia Britannica is designed and recognized as a book not merely for reference but for reading. It is no small advantage of the new format that an odd volume of the work can be doubled like a magazine and slipped into the coat pocket, or into a traveling bag, ready to occupy an idle half-hour. 4. Greater Charm. The velvety surface offered by the natural nap of the skin of the cover is gratifying alike to the eye and the touch. It would be difficult to find a material more pleasing in respect of colour or texture than this mole-grey leather. It has all the distinction of a binding de luxe, for it is at once unusual and appropriate. (It is sold only with a bookcase, which is included in the price.) NOTICE — The Velvet Suede binding can only be pro¬ duced in limited quantities. Therefore, anyone wishing the Encyclopaedia Britannica in this style of binding, either for himself or as a Christmas gift, should order Wndtn* may be0™-1 ' * al onc*- Delivery can uke place at any time, but order* utilised to the utmost should be placed at the earliest possible moment. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS— Ceatf*a/served in all Christian countries, it typifies the truth that the most vital of human interests disregard the barriers of nationality, and being established in commemoration of events which occurred ages ago it expresses the debt of the present to the past. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is the only work in any language in which an attempt has !>een made to epitomize and elucidate in an adequate manner the thought, achievements and life of our common humanity. It has been built upon a structure so broad in its foundations and so inclusive in its scope as to ignore no sphere of human activity, and no fact of useful purport in the evolution of the race. Drawing its contributors from every civilized country, the 11th edition is l*ased on the essentially cosmopolitan character and origin of the main factors which make for human progress, and in freely applying the historic al method in every department of knowledge, there has l>een constant endeavour to express the present in terms of the past in which that present finds its roots. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA IN THE HOME TH K Encyclopedia Britannica Is so obviously a gift the usefulness of which will be shared by its possessor with others, young and old, that it Is impossible to think of it in the light of a Christmas present without a thought of its general utility in the household. The amount of service w hich it can render under such circum¬ stances is clearly only limited by the extent of the desire of the members of the family for information. Its 40,000 Nut CTi Fuv!i‘ ]fSmp articles not only complete the whole circle of human carried in the pocket or in a traveling bag knowledge, but the arrangement of the text, and its

A REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE NEW ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA AN ENORMOUS WORK REDUCED, BY THE USE OF INDIA PAPER, TO VOLUMES ONE INCH THICK analysis in an index (volume containing "im.tmo reference*!, have been so carried out that from the 28,1 oO pages of the work the enquirer can at once select the one which deals with the subject which interests him. Whether his need of the moment relates to the rules of a game, the repair of a house, the laying out of a garden, the breeding of a dog, the treatment of a cold, the latest theory of radio-activity, or the influence of Wagner, the answer to the reader's question comes as directly and as quickly as though the specialist who wrote the article was at hand to furnish in person the practical guidance demanded. FOR THE MERE PLEASURE OF READING BUT perhaps the chief merit of the book as a household treasure is that from merely referring to it, its possessor Is led to rra ,/ its articles for the pleasure they afford. lie soon finds that the vast fund of knowledge accumulated in this book by the leading authonties in every branch of human achievement has all the interest of a real contribution to litera¬ ture. So universal is its ap|>eal that anyone who has the slightest interest in the facts or the romance of nature or of life is bound eventually to become engrossed in its contents. These light and incredibly thin volumes picked up out of idle curiosity arc laid aside with reluc¬ tance, and the casual enquirer Is unconsciously transformed into the systematic student. AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE YOUNG TIIF. supreme quality, however, of the Encyclopedia Britannica as a gift, is that it gives to its readers as complete a statement as possible of the present condition of knowl¬ edge. The recipient feels, especially if he Is in the period of his mental growth, that the gift of a work of such learning and authority is stimulating to his intelligence and that, in ac¬ cepting it, he incurs an obligation to use it for the purposes for which it has l»een given. The number of directions in which the system¬ atic use of the Encyclopedia Britannica may influence for good a developing mind is legion. It is not intended for idle and listless reading, but supplies an accurate scrutiny of the founda¬ tions of conclusions, opinions and beliefs. By its insistence on what is essential in every ques¬ tion, and by its elimination of all that is irrele¬ vant, it promotes habits of concentration and analysis, and instils a sense of intellectual value*. In its thousands of biographies of the men and women who have figured prominently in the human story, it opens new horizons and sets up new ideals. To some readers, it may even indi¬ cate. for the first time, their real vocation, for it is a fact that, in nearly every efficient, useful life, there is traceable, at some parting of the ways, the determining influence of a book. An interior study typical of the ever-growing popularity of the India Paper edition of the new Kncyclopxdia Britannica as a book for reading and reference in the home

THE SF.W AST) REVISED EDITION OF THE NEW AND ENLARGED EDITION OF THE CENTURY DICTIONARY CYCLOPEDIA AND ATLAS (IN TWELVE VOLUMES) Not de¬ sired by the pub¬ lishers, but a necessity The specialists who made it 100,000 new entries THERE is no book :o good that it docs not have to be revised. To this rule even the English Bible has been no exception. In fact, the better the book — the greater its permanent value the greater the need of keeping it abreast of the advance of time. Whenever The Century Dictionary, Cyclopedia, and Atlas has been sent to prers thousands of changes have been made in the plates in order to bring its material up to date, and now. in the twenty-fifth printing of this great work of reference, such thorough revision and enlargements have been effected as to make it almost a new book. THE CENTURY CO. had no desire to add a quarter of a million dollars to the million that had been expended upon the original edition; but a conscientious publisher of such a work as The Century Dictionan feels that he is. in a way. a trustee for the public, that he is not simply the owner of a set of plates from which he can print and sell as mam editions as the plates will bear, but that he has set up in the market-place a fount of know ledge which not only must be kept pure and undefiled. but must also be increased at its sources as the need of it increases. So once more 'The Century Co. called on specialists in every branch of knowledge to bring up to date the reference book which since its issue twenty years ago has more and more grow n to l e the standard authority. To what extent this spe¬ cialization has been carried in various editions of The Century may be seen in such important subjects an aeronautics (three special¬ ists — a Harvard professor of meteorology and two practical aeronauts); anat¬ omy (two specialists in hu¬ man anatomy, two in com¬ parative anatomy, and one in osteology); archaeology (four, covering t»rcck and Roman archarology, medieval. North American, South American, etc.); art (five, covering painting, sculpture, decoration, lacc-making, engrav¬ ing. etching, pigments, etc.) ; and so on indefinitely. Kach specialist is responsible for all the definitions, sometimes many thousands in number, in bis subject. WHEN The Century Dictionary was issued in 1889-91, after nearly ten years of preparation, it contained upwarJ of 1 20.000 more entries than any of its predecessors. To these 100,000 have been Digitized by Google

The reason for this notable enlargement is the amazing progress that has been made in all departments of science, of the arts, and of practical life during the past twenty years. New sciences have been created ; invention has been astonish¬ ingly fertile; exploration has brought to light almost numberless things,— and all of them have been named. The “common” words and proper names defined or otherwise described in the new edition of The Century Dictionary, Cyclopedia, and Atlas reach the enor¬ mous number of about five hundred and thirty thousand. li is only necessary 10 meniion the automobile, the aeroplane, the wireless telegraph, for the increase of "common" words to he understood. The word "appendicitis," common enough now, was unrecorded when the first edition of The Century Dictionary was issued. Radium was not discovered until nearly ten years (1898) after that edition appeared. The word is now fully treated in the new revision in an article of 1800 words. The scholars and men of science who have been editors of special departments in this revision, or contributors to it. arc actually more in number than those employed on the original work. Every word has been subjected to critical examination by them, and in this revised edition have been incorporated the changes and additions which they recommended. WHEN The Century was issued it was at once recognized as the greatest of completed English dictionaries. Its editor, Professor William Dwight Whitney, of Vale University, was the most eminent philologist America had produced, known and honored by all scholars as the foremost exponent of the principles of the growth of language and of linguistic study. While The Century was first of all a dictionary, its broadly encyclopedic treatment of words and things made it much wider in scope and vastly more useful than any mere lexicon. For example, under the common word case one found in The Century not only full definitions of that word as used in medicine, law, grammar, and logic (with explanatory quotations), but also descriptions of more than thirty celebrated cases, such as Brad- laugh's case in the House of Commons; Burr's case, the trial of Aaron Burr for treason; the Dartmouth College case, which es¬ tablished the vested rights of corporations; the Dred Scott case, which had much to do with the bringing on of our Civil War; Digitized by Google

THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION An ency¬ clopedia with hun¬ dreds of thousands of entries as well as a dictionary The Century Cyclopedia of Names Its thorough revision The Century Atlas the Tichborne case, also called the case of the claimant; and the Tweed case, for frauds perpetrated against the municipality of New York. In each instance it gave all the facts which the average reader would require. In the new edition such encyclopedic defini¬ tions have been greatly increased, and now under case one may find the Standard Oil. case and the .American Tobacco case, decided during the present year. The new encyclopedic matter in the enlarged edition includes an addition of too per cent, to the article on wheat; ioo per cent, to that on cancer; nearly 300 per cent, to the definition of turbine; 200 per cent, to the article on sculpture; etc., etc. Thousands of words were thus treated, and as a result The Century Dictionary was rightly recognized and valued as an encyclopedia. No other American dictionary can justly claim that character. Its method of subdividing its encyclopedic information into a vast number of articles under separate headings makes it its own index, and places any item that may be desired at once at the command of the consultcr. IN 1804 The Century Cyclopedia of Names was issued in one volume and became a part of the dictionary. It is a lexicon of proper names, containing brief articles upon virtu¬ ally every kind of thing to which a proper name has been given,— names of famous persons, dead and living, of all periods, na¬ tions, and vocations; of characters in fiction; of races and tribes; of countries and places, ancient and modern ; of rivers, seas, lakes ; of battles, wars, treaties; of buildings, statu¬ ary, paintings; of books, operas, and plays; of clubs, noted vessels, famous race-horses, the great streets of the world ; etc., etc. No such book was ever issued (it is considered the most useful reference volume in the English language) ; each name is pronounced, its various spellings are recorded, and in many cases its derivation is given. It comprises about sixty thousand titles —more than the titles, of til I kinds, comprised in any other cyclopedia. With every printing, changes have been made in the plates of The Century Cyclopedia of Names— for new people spring into promi¬ nence, wars and revolutions occur, and deaths must be noted. In the present revision the entire volume has been thoroughly revised, and 3000 entries have been added to the original edition, including the names of persons who have come into notice and events which have occurred as late as September, 1911. IN 1897 The Century Atlas of the World was added to the set and at once took its place as one of the most complete and beautiful atlases ever produced. It. too. has been thoroughly revised, brought down to date, and enlarged. The whole force of the best map- makers in America has been engaged for a year in incorporating into the Atlas the most recent geographical information. Entirely new maps of the South Pole (and Peary’s discovery of the North Pole has, of course, been noted), of Oklahoma, of Alaska, of Western Canada, and of the Panama Canal, have been made, and new railroads

THE NEW AND REUSED EDITION OF Its complete revision The illus¬ trations Additions to the illus¬ trations Additions to the revision and new boundaries have been shown on the old maps. There are also maps showing the interurban electric lines of parts of the United States— a decided novelty in an atlas. The great geographical index Oncol ihf i;i up illuuunnj Aufcn.««lrv ( l ire U has been entirely reset, and now gives the most recent figures for populations, including those of the United States Census of 1910 and of the latest European censuses. It contains about 180,000 entries. It was hoped to have the new revision of The Century Dictionary, Cyclopedia, and Atlas ready for issue several months ago, but publication was impossible until all of the latest figures of the I'nited States census were received and tabulated for entry both in the Cyclopedia of Names and in the Atlas. THE ORIGINAL EDITION of this great work was un¬ approached by any other reference book in the number and beauty of its more than 7500 illustrations. Nearly half of them were engraved on wood by skilled artists whose craft itself is one of the arts. 'I*he artists who drew the pictures were chosen from among those who had made The Century Magazine famous for its art work. Ernest Thompson Seton furnished about five hundred of the illustrations of animals and birds. In the new edition 1900 pictures have been added ; and a novel feature is the inclusion of a number of full-page plates, many of them in color and all of them edited by experts. For instance, opposite the word furniturr will now be found a four- page insert containing nearly fifty pictures of furniture, covering the periods most admired by collectors and connoisseurs, beginning with the Gothic and ending with the early part of the nineteenth cen¬ tury. These pictures not only show examples of the best European schools, but also include the work of American cabinet-makers such as Duncan Phyfe. This was prepared under the editorship of Miss Esther Singleton, whose work on furniture is well known. Mr. John Kimberly Mumford, the expert on rugs, is responsible for an insert in which exquisite Persian and other rugs have been re¬ produced in the colors of the originals. Full-page groups of illus¬ trations cover the subjects of dogs, automobiles, lace, ordnance, flying-machines, architecture, fishes, insects, signal-flags, seals of the States, etc., etc. OTHER ADDITIONS to the new edition comprise a colored chart illustrating the emigration from Europe to the United States and the immigration into the United States from all countries; four Digitized by

Fifteen . . ™ . years ago the question of the KpMU use of thin India paper was considered thoroughly, and sample volumes on that paper were printed, bound, and tested by use. Again it has been tried, but rejected as before, because, while India paper is admirably suited to a book which must be made light for reading, it is not suited to one made for hasty reference where instant information is desired and the pages must be turned over in the shortest possible time. Nor is it suited to our exquisite wood-engravings, needing a fine surface for their printing. The tests for paper THE PAPER chosen for the new edition of The Century was subjected to the most rigorous tests, including microscopical analysis of fiber composition, chemical analysis, breaking strength, bursting strength, and folding endurance.

(•.xlci. ii,w» Will IK » |m »UaMi THE NEW BINDING is the result of continuous and exhaustive experiment. In almost all books bound to-day the binding soon deteriorates,— leather, in a few years, sometimes becomes yellow dust. Search was made for a leather which should prove as durable as the famous Spanish leather of the Middle Ages. Authorities in Europe and America were consulted, and the relative merits of the skins of seals, kangaroos, calves, sheep, pigs, and goats (the latter is called “morocco”) were scrutinized and tested. As a result both pigskin and goatskin were chosen the skins not to be split, no injurious acids to enter the tanning process, the dyes to be pure and fast, and the entire treatment to be by methods reproducing as nearly as possible the old hand-tanning processes. The specifics i ion* for leather used on the new revision were in¬ dorsed by the Department of Agriculture, U. S. A., the London Society of Arts, the Sound Leather Committee of the Library As¬ sociation of London, the British Museum, the Boston Public Library, and other authorities. Eor the cloth-bound edition a “library buckram” has been selected, made accord¬ ing to specifications laid down by the United States government and adopted by the Library Associations of England and America. In the binding every known precaution has been taken, all of the sheets being sewn on tapes which are placed between the boards of the covers instead of being merely pasted down on the outside of an unsplit board, as had been the custom hitherto: special guards have been placed on each insert; muslin guards and joints reinforce the first and last sections.

THE SEir AND REVISED EDITION OF The growth of The Century reference-book was ever printed and bound with the care which has been given to this new revision of The Century Dictionary, Cyclo¬ pedia, and Atlas. I HE CENTURA DICTIONARY originally was issued in six volumes. Later, and with the addition of The Century Cyclopedia of Names and The Century Atlas, the set became ten volumes. The additions to the new revised and enlarged edition have increased this . to twelve volumes. As already stated, the cost of the editorial work and plates has been about a million and a quarter of dol¬ lars. When asked whether so great an expenditure has been justified by the financial re¬ turn, we reply in the affirma¬ tive. Up to date two hundred thousand sets of the work, in its various editions, have been sold, for which the public has paid many millions of dollars. Even when the large cost of production, manufacture, ad- - 1 vertising, selling, and distribu- i""" Md.*. b«.tfhi. .. ... .c* itu u u. ..1.*. ; tion is deducted, the result is M,"u gratifying. But beyond any money profit is the consciousness that The Century is an achieve ment — the greatest reference-book ever made and the most useful book in the world.

NEW REVISION is an absolute necessity for you if you wish to keep abreast of the times and to have in your home a work of reference to which you may turn for information with the assurance that it will be forthcoming. As we have said in this article, we had no wish to revise the work — to make so many changes and additions — but it seemed absolutely necessary. New words have come into the language — at least a hundred thousand strong — and they must he noted and defined. New writers, musicians, statesmen, diplomatists, men of science, have come on the world’s stage, and The Cyclopedia of Names must report them. New towns have sprung up, new railroads have been built, new boun¬ daries fixed ; the North Pole has been discovered, the region of the South Pole is being explored ; new censuses have changed the figures for populations, — ail of these must be noted in The Century Atlas. If you will write to us we will advise you of just what we can afford to allow you for your old set toward the purchase of a set of the new revision in twelve volumes.

CENTUR Y ADVER T/SEMENTS- TELEPHONES 83 For Universal Service The Press and the Bell System The power of the individual writer is multiplied by the printing press. In the same way the power of the individual telephone is multiplied by the Bell system. In both cases, increased usefulness comes from progress towards universal service. By means of the press the knowledge and thoughts of writers are spread throughout the land, maintaining among all the people the common language and the mutual understanding which makes for national co-operation. By means of the Bell system, each individual telephone becomes connectable with every other telephone and each unit in the nation is given a personal membership in the most highly developed system of communication that the world has ever seen. The press prepares people for co-opera¬ tion; the Bell telephone system enables them to really co-operate. The press educates people separately; the telephone enables them to act upon their mutual knowledge immediately and at any distance. By co-operation with telegraph and cable systems, universal service for com¬ munication is being made international.

This dates from the introduction of the ATWOOD Grape Fruit, a kind that so far surpasses the ordinary grape fruit that no comparison can be made. n Says E. E. Keeler, M.D., in the “Good Health Clink” : “In all cases where there is the ‘uric acid diathesis’ you will see an immediate improvement following the use of grape fruit.” Wo hove arranged for a much wider distribution of ATWOOD Grope Fruit thia season than has heretofore been poasible.

Unless you consider them you can never know the best things that vacuum cleaning should accomplish in your home: The Sturtevant cleans as no vacuum cleaner ever cleaned before treatise its high-pressure fan is the most powerful principle ever introduced into vacuum cleaning. It does not injure the fabrics it cleans because it has no trace of the 4 jerking ' suction which bellows or pumps produce at every stroke. It does not wear out because its cleaning power does not depend on rubber dia¬ phragms or leather bellows. It does not get out of repair because it has none of the ordinary gears, valves and complex mechanism. It will do perfect work for years beyond the life of the ordinary vacuum cleaner because it is built of steel and aluminum.

10S CENTURY ADVERTISEMENTS— FINE H ATCHES The Howard Watch THIS Christmas is surely the time to gratify for him one of his dearest wishes — to own a HOWARD WATCH. Not that he hasn’t a watch of some kind already. But the higher up a man gets in the councils of the business and pro¬ fessional world the more HOWARD owners he finds among his associates. It is brought home to him more and more that the HOWARD has a distinctive standing among the leading men of all call¬ ings and occupations. And when a man once absorbs the pres¬ tige of the HOWARD— when he realizes what "HOWARD time” is and the service it performs in the world's affairs, any other watch becomes a good bit of a makeshift. Through it* seventy years’ career the HOWARD has come to be known as the finest practical timepiece in the world. A HOWARD Watch is always worth what you pay for it. The price of each watch— from the 17- jewel < double roller) in a Crescent or Jas. Boss gold-filled case at $40. to the "EDWARD HOWARD" model (23-jewel. 18K solid gold case) at $350 — is fixed at the factory and a printed ticket attached. Find the HOWARD jeweler In your town and talk to him. Not every jeweler can sell you a HOWARD. The jeweler who can la a good man to know, Admiral Sigsbee ha. written a little book.
