FOR MARCH: AINSLEE’S MAGAZINE The Magazine That Entertains There will be three great features in Ainslee’s Magazine for March. FIRST: The beginning of a new serial story by Harold MacGrath the title of which will be announced later. This is the first time that a novel by Mr. MacGrath has ever been serialized and in the face of great competition and by paying a large price the publishers have succeeded in getting the author's consent to the publication of the story in Ainslee’s. This is the same Mr. MacGrath who wrote “The Man on the Box,” “Half a Rogue,” “Hearts and Masks,” “The Lure of the Mask,” etc. SECOND: The enlargement of the magazine by the ad- dition of sixteen pages: Besides Mr. MacGrath’s serial the magazine will have the usual 160 pages of long and short fiction, making 176 pages in all. THIRD: Each instalment of Mr. MacGrath’s story will be illustrated with reproductions in fall colors of paintings by Howard Chandler Christy Inherited genius may be actually a fact, there's no doubt about transm A man at sixty begins to re: father was rot so old when he d Lippincott $.

Such Is Life Many are called, but few get up. Revenge is sweet to the sour. Man’s virtue rests on temperament ; 1 womaa’s solidly on soul. To keep friends, treat them kindly; to bill them, treat them often, The end of one’s ambition becomes merely the means to a greater effort. Money is a real tragedy! Give it and you make paupers; lend it and you create enemics} hoard it and you imperil your soul.—Peter Py Shevlin in Lippincott’s owe comicbooks.com
