ARGONOTES. couldn’t bring about the “ Return of Peter the Brazen” and his adorable wife, who was sup- posed to have been lost at sea during the war. Living on the coast, the stories of “ Peter the Brazen” were intensely interesting, and I feel sure a new series would meet with pub- lic approval, as such an interesting hero really should live a long and useful life. Have read Arcosy for over fifteen years and expect to continue for much longer. We get two copies each week to supply the demand at our house. Mrs. M. F. WILtiAMs. So popular with these readers is the work of Beatrice Ashton Vandegrift that they emulate her verse to voice their sentiments: North Canton, Ohio. To voice our appreciation of Beatrice Ash- ton Vandegrift’s work, we are offering you the following original poem: OUR FAVORITE. Here’s to the Lady, Whose stories I like best; She’s not from the East, Nor the great Golden West. She hails from the South, The Nut-Cracker State. Her stories are fine, I think they are great. They're always so clean And so nicely told. Her heroes are handsome; Also strong, brave and bold, The poem of her Baby; I think it was fine. She sure had me wishing The youngster was mine. The first thing I look for When Arcosy’s pages I flip, Is something by Beatrice Ashton Vandegrift. ArGosy is getting better and better in every way, in every edition. Here’s for continued success. The Three E’s. WitwiaM B. Evans. “ Ain’t it a grand and glorious feel- ing?” asks Mr. Hardeman. It does sound “ comfy,” as he describes it: Ettricks, Va. Have been reading your great magazine for several years, yet haven’t missed but one copy in twenty months. - When I read the readers’ knocks and kicks I wonder just how much they want for the price of one chocolate soda. Haven’t passed up but two stories, but don’t kick at that, for I see where some -people liked them: “ The Future Eve” and “ Beyond the Stars.” But I do admire John Holden, 287 Fred Maclsaac, Ivers Lawrence, Gordon Stiles; in fact, most of them, but give me Charles F. Coe’s stories of old Georgia, for l’m a cracker myself. His “ Moonglow” and “’Geechee Shad ” were unbeatable. The way I express it is after you have had a hard day at work and nothing has gone right, and come home at night, eat supper, stretch out by a good fire, pick up the old Arcosy, oh, poy! Ain’t it a grand and glorious feel- ing! More strength to you. W. T. HarDeMANn. Readers are invited to use Argonotes as an information bureau. We are al- ways glad to supply the information desired in a case like this: Toronto, Canada. To settle a friendly argument, would you please let me know through the medium of your paper if you published a story named “Without Gloves,” by James B. Hendrix? This was, I believe, several years ago. I do not remember whether it was run as a serial or a complete novelette. C. N. McLeop. “Without Gloves ”’ was published as a serial in the ARGosy, running in the issues of July 14 to August 18, 1923, inclusive. COUPON Editor, ARGOSY-ALLSTORY WEEKLY, 280 Broadway, N. Y. C., N.
