 ement of the supernatural. I would suggest that you keep the nudes off of your covers and send them to some spicy periodical, where they would seem more at home. After all, the thrill of viewing a nude isn't exactly a weird one. The best stories in your June number were The Woman in Gray by W. G. Everett and Together by Ida M. Kier.

WT prints only the best, has always done so, and probably always will. The month-to-month alternation of artists is not too advisable. Such conduct put the July issue behind the June artistically. The cover, however, was Brundage's best to date, being mysterious, and at the same time containing the much-quarreled-over female, sparsely draped, with the vile gleam in her eyes You will probably receive much 'weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth' because she is not clad in less satin. Be that as it may, WT should be the
