Fillmore and Page Brown’s accidents, and Joaquin Miller's “‘Lost Beverage,” and unwritten history of General Keyes—all these are bits of gossip which will remind society to seek a further page, where some recent weddings are discussed. The New York gossip is filied with bits of Californians’ ad- ventures in Gotham, and the San Fran- cisco millionaire’s purchase of a New York paper is among the exciting topics.

It suggests the abolishment of the local Normal School, eriti- ciges the Board of Education and is instructive on Madagnscar. It has stories of Wilton Lack- aye, the Bohemian Club and William Alvord, and an interview with Barnabee of the Boston- jans. “Another writer discourses on ‘ldeal Wives.” . There are three sonnets by L. R. Robertson and witty sturiettes under the head of “Ripples.” Sociéty is treated at length, and there is a quantity of entertaining gossip. * ————————— Imagines Himself De Pue.
