MAGAZINE

1905

25 Cents Per Copy

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 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 Indian

There will be published in Scribner's during the coming year not only many notable stories by such well-known writers as Edith Wharton, Kate Douglas Wiggin, F. Hopkinson Smith, J. B. Connolly, Mrs. Mary R. S. Andrews, Dr. Henry van Dyke, John Fox, Jr., E. W. Townsend, Nelson Lloyd, Maarten Maartens, and others, but more than the usual number by new writers of promise. The illustrated and general papers will be of the same high and interesting character as in the past.

A book practically arranged for the use of artists, students, costumers, and all interested in the above subject, whose frequent demands for authentic plates and descriptions of dress worn in the early period of American history have led to research among archives, torn records, unpublished letters, family annals, and contemporary portraits, as well as among the numerous histories of the separate colonies, for accurate information on the subject. The plates have been prepared with a view to being easily copied, the lines and cut of each garment being clearly defined.
