"New Letters of Dostoevsky," of Phyllis Bottone "The Waiting Room," of Arthur Symons' "Eleodor Duse," and of some of the most vigorous and in pendent articles on American or Foreign affairs American writers.

Among the October articles are "Economy and t National Budget," "Those Repudiated Southe Bonds," "Russia's Awakened Peasants," "Furl Sails," "The Spirit of Liberty," "More Words with Mummy," "The Learned and Candid Friend" ( Arbuthnot), "Thomas Paine: Bridge-Builder"; pog by Anne Blackwell Payne, Babette Deutsch, and Force Stead; and a group of distinguished essay recent notable books.
