Pauline Bradford Mackie needs no introduction. By her latest book “A Georgian” Actress,” which was published this season, she has been placed among the best fiction writers of the year. She has written exclusively for the Christmas Call a short story of remarkable excellence— “Captain Shrimp.” You will find it one of the best short stories that you have ever read. The style is so delicate and pleasing, the humor so quaint, and the little love story that runs as a golden thread through this picture of Pilgrim Days so charming that “Captain Shrimp” cannot fail to bring Miss Mackie fresh laurels. e S I AR R A AP MMM A A AR R Tesno rate case now await- | ble Eickion Secti | | | MaAark THALL HAD THE PRICE™" S0 " UNHOCKED” THE.STONE Fom.

You will find her story of “Jack Redmond’s Christmas" one that will bring tears at one instant and then turn them into smiles in a twink- ling. It is a strong tale of mining life, and in the com- paratively few words to which the short story is necessarily limited the author has suc- ceeded in developing more of plot and real human interest than most writers can give in a whole novel. You will want to send this edition to your friends in the East, for no paper in the United States can rival the Christmas Call in the variety and excellence of its literary features or in the ar- tistic merit of its illustrations, although the price remains the same.
