THE SEPTEMBER SMART SET
The first part of (Jertrude Atherton's
new novel "The Georgeous I?le" ia the
initial feature of the September num
ber of The Smart Set. In tbi? the au
thor surpasses her well-known atyle
and shows her j>owrr of toll ng a love
story in strange sittings? the scene is a
West Indian isle? an] In high light*.
As a pleasant contrast follows "The
Courage of Kittle," by Lilian Hell, re
vealing how a society girl, full of grit
and humor, cures and capturea a diffi
cult person as a faiher-ln-iaw. "The
Rotter Right," bv John Morton Is a
very strong story with a new and fine
motif.
Other well-known writers are repre
sented in this ssue.
The French story by Michel Provlns
is one of powerfui pathos In that exquls- !
lie style which has gained for him the
laurels of his countrymen.
Altogether, the September Smart Set
moio than justifies the title.
