THE MARCH SMART SET.
The Smart Set ,has fairly out
done itself in the March number,
which marks the beginning of
the sixth year of its existence.
The complete novel is “The Prin
cess Elopes,” by Harold Mac
Grath, an author whose immense
popularity is due to the fact that
he is a born story-teller. Mr.
MacGrath is at his very best in
this charming tale of a European
princess and a young American
medical student. It is a delight
ful blending of romance and deli
cate humor, touched everywhere
with the deft hand of an author
who has mastered his craft.
Nothing better of its kind has
nnnparpd in a maerazine in many
a month.
One of the best stories in the
magazine is “A Venial Offense,”
by Norvell Harrison. In marked
contrast to its humor is the pow
erful and dramatic motive of Be
atrix Demarest Lloyd’s “A Man
Unlearned.” William Hamilton
Osborne’s “The Transfer of
Thorneycroft” is a strikingly
clever and satirical story of a
phase of smart society, and the
“Transit of a Soul,” by Frances
Aymer Matthews, is so strange
and unusual that it defies classi
fication.
If The Smart Set maintains
the standard of this number even
approximately for the coming
twelve months, the future suc
cess of the magazine will be sure
as its past.
