Leslie’s Porular Monthley for Nov.

The Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta, which takes rank among the most brilliant fairs ever organized on the American Continent, comes in for conspicuous attention, both pictorial and literary, in the November number of Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly. The leading article on this subject is from the authoriative pen of Walter G. Cooper, the energetic cheif of the Department of Publicity and Promotion. James L. Ford, the now celebrated author of “Literary Soap,” and “Hypnotic Tales,” contributes a delicious example of his satrical humor in a paper upon “Our Exotic Nobility,’’which ischarmingly illustrated by Warren B. Davis. Mrs. Leicester-Addis discusses the traditions and customs Allhallowtide. Some interesting glimpses of the “Immortals” of the French Acadainy are given in a gossipy paper, accompanied by the latest portraits of such contemporaneous celebrities as Paul Bourget. Pierre Loti. Francois Cuppee, Dumas, Sardou, Jules Claretie, Jules Lemaitre, Brunetiere, and others. Other illustrated articles of special interest are: ■•The Suburban Riding and Driving Club of New York;” The Scenic Panorama of New York State,” and “The Boomerang.” Among the notable short stories is “The Railway Signal,” by the famous Russian writer, Garshine. The frontispiece is an admirable reproduction in water colors of a characteristic “New England Thanksgiving Dinner. Altogether, the improved Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly is a brilliant success.
