In addition, Albion W. Tourgee will contribute a notable series of stories, illustrating the interesting and exciting phases of the legal profession, under the general title of “With Gauge & Swallow.”  Each story will be complete in itself, though all will revolve around a common centre of interest.

Stories, essays, and poems may be expected from Amelie Rives, Edgar Fawcett, Thomas Nelson Page, H.H.  Boyesen, Joaquin Miller, Walt Whitman, Will Carleton, M.G.  McClelland, Helen G. Cone.  Mrs. S.M.B.  Piatt, J.J.  Piatt, C.L.  Hildreth, Will H. Hayne, Lucy C. Lillie, Edith M. Thomas, and many others; and autobiographical articles, dealing with interesting phases of their career, from Lotta, Fanny Davenport.  H.H.  Boyesen, Edgar Saltus, Clara Barton, Belva Lockwood, Frances E. Willard, etc., etc.

A number of ideas new to periodical literature will be exploited during the year.  For example, the February number will be written entirely by women for women, and will contain a novel by Mrs. Wister; a novelette by Miss Amelie Rives; poems by Mrs. Piatt, Helen G. Cone, Edith M. Thomas, and Ella Wheeler-Wilcox; autobiographical sketches by Belva Lockwood, Fanny Davenport, etc.; and articles of general interest by other famous women of the country,
