A Famous Writer's

First Long Novel

Early in the coming year the Magazine
hopes to begin the first long novel by an
American author who for many years has
had one of the largest audiences among
contemporary writers; whose work in
prose and verse has been not only of the
first rank but based upon a deep and un-
failing optimism, concerning itself with
human realities and ideals rather than
with "problems." His short stories are
among the best known wherever the Eng-
lish language is read, and his first novel
will be awaited with a very uncommon
interest. A detailed announcement will
follow later.

Articles by Price Collier

Price Collier, whose "England and the English from an American Point
of View,' The West in the East from an American Point of View," "Ger-
many and the Germans from an American Point of View" were all in the
nature of veritable literary sensations, revealing a new critic of the nations
with a mind of extraordinary acuteness and fund of knowledge, will contrib-
ute a series of papers about SWEDEN AND NORWAY. As in his previous articles
they will deal with the people, with social and political matters-of exceptional
interest in both of these countries. No one has better succeeded in convey-
ing a clear impression of the essential qualities of the peoples about whom he
writes. Evidently fair, he has the faculty of getting at the very heart of the
nations, of making his readers see and understand them.

The author's style sparkles with wit and humor, with surprises in the way
of vivid revelations of character, with occasional touches of illuminative
and penetrating sarcasm.

SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE ADVERTISER

Madame Waddington

Readers of the Magazine will anticipate with special pleasure a new series of reminiscences by Madame Waddington, for every one will recall the charm of her "Letters of a Diplomat's Wife," "Italian Letters of a Diplomat's Wife," and "Château and Country Life in France."

This new series of articles-"My First Years as a Frenchwoman"-will deal with a most interesting period of French history, covering M. Waddington's services: At the Ministry of Public Instruction, 1876-77; at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Berlin Congress, 1877-78; and as Prime Minister, 1879. The political, diplomatic, and social aspects of these years, intimate personal views of nearly all of the important personages of the times in diplomacy, literature, and art, the people met at various State functions, private dinners, balls, the opera, the theatres, are commented upon in the author's own inimitable and delightful way. This is history written from the inside-from the personal point of view.

Will appear early in the year-The Rudyard Kipling

Tunisian Days-Figuig-Tougourt-
On the Mat-Tripoli

By George Edward Woodberry
One of the foremost of contemporary
American poets. It may be foreseen
what subjects these present to a
traveller with the author's imagina-
tion, one with his sense of the pic-
turesque and poetic and eye for the
wonderful color of the land and the
kaleidoscopic spectacle of the people.

The

Story of Atalapha

By Ernest Thompson Seton
Another of this favorite author's
poetic and yet very true studies of
life in the open.
