The price will remain as usual—25 Cents. The authors and artists to this number are Robert Louis Stevenson, William Hole, the English painter, Will H. Low, Bret Harte, J. W. Alexander, F. Hopkinson Smith, H. C. Bunner, C. Jay Taylor, Miss Sarah Orne Jewett, William L. Taylor, Austin Dobson, Louise Imogen Guiney, Elizabeth Akers, F. S. Church, R. Swain Gifford, M. J. Burns, Howard Pyle, George Foster Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Blashfield and the late Edwin Percy Whipple.
