Another lady is going to have her drawing-room done over in gold and then get a pale yellow cotton gown to match. A society lady is going to give a large function and prescribe that her guests wear cotton. And so it goes. The task, when we consider it in its nation-wideness, is a stupendous one, but with such unflagging zeal and reckless sacrifice behind it, King Cot- ton is almost certain to be restored to his late throne. Ellis O. Jones. “ HEAVENS, AL, HERE COME THE SUBMARINES!” Women to the Rescue HE cotton movement goes mer- rily forward with all sails set and women manning many important pesitions, both above and below decks. Well-known lady novelists are issuing pronunciamentos. Suffragettes. are abandoning the political arena and ap- plying themselves militantly to eco- nomics. Club women are concentrating all their intellect upon cotton. Wives and daughters of’ Congressmen and Governors and Mayors and the like are being interviewed, and there is a general scramble for prominent men- tion in the newspapers. How could a problem fail to be solved under such expert auspices? Mrs. Gertrude Atherton is not the least of the ring-leaderesses of the movement. She wants every American woman to take to wearing cotton, and especially cotton dinner-gowns. She boldly asserts that she is going to wear a cotton creation even to the opera, and she doesn’t care who knows it.

A Remarkable Unpublished Romance by MARK TWAIN A NEW romance by Mark Twain has just been brought to light—a remarkable story called “The Mysterious Stranger.” It is unquestionably the most important and characteristic work of the great humorist’ 's later life—a story of the supernatural, full of deep spiritual significance.

LINCOLN AS JOHN HAY KNEW HIM IOHN HAY kept a careful diary during the entire period when he was Abraham Lincoln's secretary and later through his career as a diplomat and statesman. In this diary, which has never before been given to the public, he gives a delightfully intimate, day-by-day picture of Lincoln in war-time. He also presents some astonishing facts in regard to certain leaders in the war in their relation to Lincoln. m Roscoe Thayer, the historian, has selected from his diary the most notable portions for publi- cation in Harper's Macazine. Other important contributions in the field of history will be a re- markable article by Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart on “American Historical Liars” and some new Napoleon material of unusual importance. TRAVEL .IN MANY LANDS Bs these days when travel in foreign laids is both difficult and dangerous, readers of Harper's Macazine may journey in comfort to almost every interesting corner of the world through the Macazine’s brilliantly written and elaborately illustrated travel articles. These articles are not the conventional descriptions of foreign travel—you can find plenty of those in the guide-books. Harren’s travel articles have personility: They bring up before you vivid, unforgettable pictures of strange and beautiful places in far-distant lands as seen through the eycs of world-famous writers and explorers. THE FIELD OF SCIENCE N this field the position of Hanren’s Macazixe is unique, It is the one non-technical magazine for which the great savants of England, Europe, and America are willing to write. The new year promises some astonishing revelations. THE DIALOGUES OF A DIPLOMAT 'O feature published of recent years in Harper's Macazine has attracted more attention than the two ‘diplo matic dialogues” by the Hon. David Jayne Hill, formerly U. S. Ambassador at Berlin. Mr. Hill is now at work on some more of these dialogues dealing with certain vital American problems. MASTERLY SHORT STORIES Is Harper's Macazine great importance has always been given to the short story, and the stories in Harver’s deserve the importance given them. Harper's poblishes more short stories—and better—than any other illustrated magazine in the English langua, ‘There are at least seven complete in every number. They represent the best work every leading writer of England and deed, of the world. 35 cents|j Send in your subscription now througit your nevsdealer, through the Franklin Square Sub- | iB acopy llscription Agency, which accepts subscriptions for any magazine in the world, or direct to Byer year HARPER & BROTHERS, FRANKLIN SQUARE, NEW YORK, N.
