" Fencing " is the subject which fimma Moffett Tyng will discuss in her fourth paper on physical exercises for women, to be published in Harper's Bazar, November 14th.# The same number of the Bazar will contain a story by Elizabeth W. Champney, entitled The Lost Ship Mercedes, and a Germán story, Old Fletcher, by Florence Watern Snedeker. The next two numbers of Harper's Weekly will contain a new story by Rudyard Kipling, entitled The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot This will be found a remarkable production for various reasons. It is the first story of Mr. Kipling's in which the scènes and characters are entirely English ; it is a strongly realistic study of social conditions which are seldom treated with so much forcé and directness, and it is an extraordinary combination of grim humor, deep pathos and incisive satire.
