climaxes sharply. Brisk conversation of a colloquial character may be used to advance the action, but dialect is rejected. The setting is not necessarily American, if the element of adventure enters. Sexstories and tragedies are barred. No anecdotes, and but little verse used. Reports on manuscripts within a week to two weeks, and pays on acceptance.

ARKANSAS TRAVELER, 608 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill. Merged with 10-Story Book.

ARYAN, 812 South Tenth Street, Philadelphia, Penn. Monthly; per copy, 10c.; per year, $1.00. Editor, Frank E. Massey. A literary magazine. Reports: "We accept articles on general topics of the day, not more than 1000 words in length. Payment is made on publication."

ASIA, 627 Lexington Avenue, New York. Monthly; per copy, 35c.; per year, $3.00. Editor, John Foord. Articles dealing with all phases of the Orient (including Russia and the Near East) are invited for consideration. As Asia is not a tourist's magazine, however, but aims to present only authoritative material, the editors advise preliminary correspondence before the submission of manuscripts. Articles should not exceed 4000 words. Photographs of excellent quality related to any of the fields covered will be considered. Reports in three weeks. Pays on acceptance.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, 41 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, Mass. Monthly; per copy, 35c.; per year, $4.00. Editor, Ellery Sedgwick. One of the oldest and most literary of United States magazines. Not illustrated. Contributions for the Atlantic must meet severe tests in regard to literary forms, as well as internal merit and authority. Articles on nature, world movements, art, science, and literature are used, but most of these are written by invitation. In short-stories, those of finished manner, featuring atmosphere and character development, are preferred over strong plot or obvious action. A good market for the supremely well-done sketch-but none other. Two or three artistic and rather conservative poems are printed in each issue. Just now many informing narratives of personal experiences in the war are being published. Lastly, the department called The Contributor's Club uses cleverly expressed papers of 500 to 1500 words on matters of everyday life, from the viewpoint of refinement and good breeding. These are often whimsical and desultory, yet never dull. The contributions in this department are not signed. While the Atlantic likes prominent names, and frequently prints British, or foreign work if pertinent, the editors are glad to read all work submitted. Manuscripts are reported on in ten days. Payment is on acceptance.

BANKERS' MONTHLY, 536 South Clark Street, Chicago, Ill. Monthly; per copy, 20c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, J. M. Regan. Uses short fiction and special articles on business topics-banking preferred. Manuscripts reported on in six days. Payment is made on acceptance, but the rates are not very high.

BLACK CAT, 229 West 28th Street, New York. Monthly; per copy, 15c.; per year, $1.50. Editor, H. E. Bessom. Uses nothing but shortstories, and is never over-supplied with the right kind. It desires stories that are unique in plot and that have literary finish, but places quick and sharp characterization above everything else. The young writer whose genius is for this snapshot type of fiction may profitably shape his material directly for this market. Stories may range from 1000 to 5000 words. At the present time preference is given to stories of 3500 words or less. Manuscripts are reported on in two weeks. Payment is made on acceptance. Magazine greatly enlarged, December, 1919.

THE BLACK MASK, 25 West 45th Street, New York. Monthly; per copy, 20c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, F. M. Osborne.

We report on manuscripts within a week, and payment is made on acceptance. Our rate of payment is according to strength, not length."

BLUE BOOK MAGAZINE, 36 South State Street, Chicago, Ill. Monthly; per copy, 20c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, Karl Edwin Harriman. Will consider short-stories of 3000 to 8000 words, serials of 40,000 to 120,000 words, and novelettes of 18,000 to 35,000 words, but these must be particularly good. Love stories of the better

sort, or clear, vivid themes of faith and honor, and living stories of adventure combining a love interest are always acceptable; unhappy endings and tragedy are not. They particularly need humorous fiction at present. No articles nor verse used. They report on manuscripts in eight days, and pay on acceptance.

BOHEMIA MAGAZINE, 525 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, Calif. Monthly; per copy, 25c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, Raine Bennett. A magazine of radical literary tendencies. (Unconfirmed.)

THE BOOKMAN, 244 Madison Avenue, New York. Monthly; per copy, 35c.; per year, $4.00. Editor, Robert C. Holliday. The announced and only purpose of The Bookman is to cultivate and foster the art of reading-to minister to the mind of the reader by directing attention to the best in current literature.

While not for a moment disregarding the great background of the world's literature, The Bookman will be edited for men and women of today, looking forward always to the new structure of social and intellectual life which is even now emerging from these years of supreme test. There is to be a re-statement of the individual, the community, the national and the international outlook. In the immediate present and in the near future, our literature must deal largely with problems of readjustment and reconstruction. This nation has definitely emerged

into the company of the world. Henceforth no intellectual life, whether of England, France, Russia, Latin Europe or Latin America, can be foreign to us. The Bookman will be jealous to render this service in presenting the literature of the coming age to its readers.

As for its present requirements, uses short fiction of a high order occasionally, novelettes never, nor serials, unless of a supreme quality. Special articles dealing with literary subjects and bookish people are welcomed; as is also good verse. Humor and anecdotes dealing with books are used; and its departmental requirements are for book gossip of all kinds. Photographs are purchased, when timely and appropriate. Manuscripts are reported on within a few days. Payment on publication.

COLLIER'S WEEKLY, 416 West 13th Street, New York. Weekly; per copy, 5c.; per year, $2.50. Editor, Harold Powell. This periodical has a wide circulation, based on informative value and timeliness. A large number of its readers are men, and a corresponding breadth of viewpoint is desirable. Uses articles of news-interest on public men and world-events, preferably illustrated. For short fiction the editorial department reports that Collier's is going to make a specialty of short-stories and articles of from 2000 to 5000 words in length, and, other things being equal, will pay as much for work of this length as is ordinarily paid for longer work. Collier's first idea is to overcome the "run-over"-that is, the continuation of stories and articles from the fore part of the magazine to advertising pages farther back, and the second idea is to get a large number of features into each issue. The use of shorter stories and articles will make necessary live stories and vivid sketches of life, running from 750 to 1500 words, for the back pages of the magazine, and the editor wants these, too. The magazine's purpose, as always, is to get the best fiction and articles that can be written in America, and it will continue to accept work running over 5000 words, but payment will be based on quality, not on length, and preference will be given to the shorter articles and fiction. Uses an occasional novel for serial publication, and strong stories with American background and characters, from 2000 to 5000 words. A small amount of verse is published, of a humorous and light nature. Is glad of jokes, skits, anecdotes, and once in a while buys an editorial. Manuscripts reported on within a week to ten days. Payment made on acceptance.
