 SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE

FOR 1895.

THE constantly widening connection of "Scribner's Magazine" in both literary and artistic work will be drawn upon during the coming year in novel and stimulating directions to make each issue represent the highest type of a progressive and popular American Magazine.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The Amazing Marriage,

A NEW SERIAL NOVEL by George Meredith, will begin in the January Number of "SCRIBNER."

The History of the Last Quarter-Century in the United States

Will be an important feature, extending over a number of months.

To undertake the preparation of this history the Magazine has been fortunate in securing President E BENJAMIN ANDREWS, of Brown University, who unites the closest study of American history with the broad grasp of a man of affairs. He possesses especially the fresh point of view and picturesque narrative which mean everything in a work of this character.

The Story of a Play

Will be a short novel by WILLIAM D. HOWELLS, the experience of a young playwright. and one of Mr. Howells's most delightful pictures of New York life in a new field.

Another undertaking of interest in quite a different field will be ROBERT GRANT'S Papers on the Practical Problems of Life, under the title of

"The Art of Living."

"The Income." "The Commissariat." "The Summer Problem."

The Dwelling." "Education." "Married and Single Life."

"The Case of Man" AND "The Case of Woman."

"American Party Politics"

Will be a series of three articles by NOAH BROOKS, dealing with the history of party politics with the clearness, entertaining quality and personal reminiscences of a man who has been for years a leading journalist and student of the subject.

No attempt will be made to give here a detailed announcement of the miscellaneous articles which will give permanent and lively interest to the numbers of the Magazine for 1895. By their varied suggestiveness and individuality they will maintain its traditions of excellence and of close interest in the activities of contemporary life. But among the papers which will appear in early numbers of the year may be especially mentioned: Life at the Athletic Clubs, by Duncan Edwaris, illustrated by C. D. Gibson; Country and Hunt Clubs, by EDWARD S. MARTIN, illustrated; A Tuscan Shrine, by Mrs. EDITH WHARTON, with superb illustrations recording an important artistic discovery; Old-fashioned Gardens. by Mrs. ALICE MORSE EARL, abundantly illustrated from the finest of our old gardens; The Portraits of J.
