New Series of
Letters from
Madame
Waddington

European Political
Questions of Inter-
est to America

By Frank A. Vanderlip

Some of Madame Waddington's letters, published in Scribner's Magazine two years ago, attracted wide attention by their descrip tions of life and society in England, where her husband was French Ambassador in the '80s-letters written with the most attractive verve and brightness. The new series to be published in 1905 deal with her life in Italy, and have all the interest and brilliancy of her former correspondence.

Mr. Vanderlip, as former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and author of the papers on "The American Commercial Invasion e

Europe," in Scribner's Magazine, stands almost alone in his know!edge of the current public problems and political tendencies of European countries. He writes of the questions of labor, socialism, suffrage, elections, education, religious troubles, etc., etc., the mea who are shaping events, and of motives which are moving parties and forming foreign policies. The papers will contain some remarkable illustrations from photographic material collected under the author's direction.

Workingman

Walter A. Wyckoff

Mr. John Fox, Jr., who has been the representative of the Magazine on the Japanese side during the whole first period of the war, will publish the result of his experience in several important articles.

Mrs.
Wharton's

The publication of a new novel by Mrs. Wharton is naturally an
event of very unusual importance in the field of magazine literature.
"The House of Mirth" is a novel of contemporary American
social life, having for its motive a study which will be instantly recog
nized as typical :—the life and social career of a girl reared, educated,
and exploited in society with but one thought and end in view-the
achievement of a successful marriage. The novel as a whole affords
an extraordinarily vivid picture of the life of modern society and its conditions.

New Novel

Mr. E. S. Curtis has been for several years securing with great care a pictorial record of the pure Indian types. The importance of this work is clear, and Mr. Curtis's results show a most extraordinary I collection of photographs, of great scientific value, and of special artistic interest. Selections from Mr. Curtis's pictures will appear in Scribner's next year, accompanied by text written by Mr. George Bird Grinnell, the well-known authority on Indian life.

The

American

"Mr. Bullen has done for the dwellers of the sea what Kipling, Thompson Seton, and their followers have done for the frequenters of the jungle and forest. . . . A fascinating volume which owes nothing of its success to its precursors. It is a new and little understood world that is opened up, and the value of the book lies in its truth, its charm, and the lively sympathy with every living thing." -N. Y. Tribune.
