Women's Clothes

in Men's Books

Miss MYRTLE REED, the author of "The Love Letters of a
Musician," "The Master's Violin," and other stories which are
exceptionally popular, will contribute articles of a more or less
humorous nature. The first of these is "Women's Clothes in
Men's Books," and is more or less an indication of their general
character.

An

American Social Life
Caricatured

A series of illustrated papers on social life in the United
States within the past quarter of a century, as told in the carica-
tures of the day. These articles are written by FRANK WEITEN-
KAMPF, head of the print department of the Astor Library.

Literary Essays

H. W. BOYNTON, whose clever essays in THE CRITIC and The Atlantic Monthly have gained for him a large audience of inter-
ested readers, will contribute, from time to time, essays of a literary nature. The first one for the new year has the suggestive title,
"Personal."

Miss ELISABETH LUTHER CARY, whose books on Emerson, Rossetti, and Morris are so well known and highly appreciated, will, from
time to time, contribute essays of a literary character to THE CRITIC'S pages.

A series of brilliant essays from the pen of the English essayist, FRANCIS GRIERSON, has also been arranged for.

Social England

A series of papers on Social Conditions in England, ranging
in subject from the costermonger life of Whitechapel to the lords
and ladies of Mayfair. These papers, because of their intimate
revelations, will be published anonymously, and will be begun
early in the new year. It may be said, however, that their author
is a writer well known on both sides of the Atlantic.

In Lighter Vein

There will be other articles in lighter vein than that of criti-
cism or the usual essay. These will be contributed by Bailey
Maillard, Edith Dickson, Michael White, Fran-
ces Duncan, Wardon Allan Curtis, Anne War-
ner, the creator of "Susan Clegg," Carolyn Wells, and
Charlotte Harwood.

The serial, "Our Best Society," which has piqued curiosity on both sides of the ocean, will be continued into the new year, as will the literary papers by the late Laurence Hutton.

At the outset― January, 1902 - THE FOUR-TRACK NEWS was a 64-page periodical and that it might be given immediate recognition, the price was placed at 50 cents per year.

The magazine is now a monthly of over 130 pages; it has added to its list of contributors some of the best-known names in modern literature and it has steadily increased and improved its illustrations and the character of its articles. It has not, however, reached the top of is ambition yet, and in order to make that possible it has been decided that the price shall be

$1.00 per Year; 10 Cents per Copy, Beginning with January, 1905 For two years we have given our readers a magazine at one-fourth its actual value; by the improvements we have in contemplation, notably the addition to our staff of other well-know writers, we intend to continue to put out a periodical easily worth four times the price asked.

ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 31ST, 1904
