Things That We’ New Yorkers Stand For Anna Steese Richardson, who wrote those clever articles on the ad- venturgs of an out-of-town couple in New York, has been observing New York life closely from the New Yorker’s standpoint. The result of her observations would be funny if it wasn’t so absurdly true. Three Stories By Three Great Authors Recognizing the growing taste for good short stories, the Sunday World has arranged for some of the best work of the best authors. “The Dwarf's Spectacles,” by Dr. Max Nordau, is a splendid fairy story, of interest alike to old and young, “The Boscomble Valley Mystery,” by Sir Conan Doyle, is another of those unsurpassed Sherlock Holmes detective stories, and “A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream.” by O. Henry is a humorous idyl of New York life.
