In Our Next Issue

Fannie Hurst on the American Husband

Schultz Photo

James O’Donnell Bennett

A lively, humorous, and penetrating discourse, by one of the foremost American novelists, on the character known to fame and the song writers as “dear old Dad.” Miss Hurst finds him one of the foundations of our national solidarity.

James O’Donnell Bennett has been investigating the workings of Indiana’s new State law which forbids nearly everything. He tells an amazing tale in an article quaintly entitled In the Kingdom of Yewkant.

Leonard H. Nason contributes a captivating yarn, The Reward of Valor, about a bottle with a kick in it that brought two doughboys the Croix de Guerre. Charles Hanson Towne writes instructively of This Business of Being a Bachelor, and Hugh Fullerton reveals some surprising facts about Golf Gambling.
