SANSCULOTTE, Columbus, O. Monthly; per copy, 10c.; per year, $1.00. Editor, James Light. Discontinued.

SATURDAY EVENING POST, Independence Square, Philadelphia, Penn. Weekly; per copy, 5c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, George H. Lorimer. Uses short fiction, novelettes and special articles. Fiction for the Saturday Evening Post should have a certain slant rather difficult to define. It should be bright and breezy, of American business or sport life, with possibly a slight woman interest instead of thrilling action or overdone society stuff. Short-stories are frequently short only in name, and approach the novelette in form. Themes welcomed are love, adventure, mystery, business enterprise, the broad outdoors; themes not welcomed are the triangle, and the wild and woolly. If an old situation is portrayed, a fresh twist, or several twists are imperative. Reports: "We are always glad to receive suggestions for articles, though most of the articles in The Post result from ideas originating in this office and are developed by writers selected by the editor for their special qualifications. Articles preferably should run from five to eight thousand words in length. We are also glad to consider short-stories, from 5000 to 10,000 words in length, and serials of from 50,000 to 100,000 words. Fiction preferably should deal with American subjects and with people of today. Stories must entertain, but character study, not at the expense of the 'story' values, is desired. Occasionally we use short verse. Manuscripts are reported on within a week, and payment is made on acceptance."

SATURDAY NIGHT, Richmond and Sheppard Streets, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Weekly; per copy, 10c.; per year, $3.00. Editor, Frederick Paul. A popular weekly, using articles of the general length of 2000 words, preferably on Canadian life, and strong fiction. Anecdotes of the public men of Canada are purchased. Payment made after publication.

SAUCY STORIES, 25 West 45th Street, New York. Monthly; per copy, 20c.; per year, $2.00. Editor, Florence Osborn. Reports: "Saucy Stories wants fiction with rapid action and novel plots. Sex interest is desired, but nothing unplesantly risqué. Melodrama, mystery, adventure and romance are the chief essentials. American settings are preferred, and stories should be from 2000 to 6000 words; novelettes, 15,000 words. Fillers, humorous verse, and epigrams are always wanted. Payment is made on acceptance."

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, 233 Broadway, New York. Weekly; per copy, 10c.; per year, $5.00. Editor, Austin C. Lescarboura. Reports: "The Scientific American is not a technical journal. It is a journal that simplifies science. It tells its readers about everything taking place in electrical, mechanical and civil engineering; aviation, steamship, railroad and general transportation; chemistry, foodstuffs, and natural history; new ideas and inventions; and so on. Contrary to the prevailing opinion among writers, everyone is eligible as a contributor to its columns. The Doctor of Science and the mechanic are placed on exactly the same basis, if their stories are of equal interest to our readers. The rate of payment for accepted material is better than the average for such class of contributions. Photographs are particularly welcome. Most important of all, payment is made upon acceptance,

and articles are passed upon within a few days. In dealing with the Scientific American the contributor gets prompt action and good pay— two of the main requisites in successful free-lancing. Aside from sending in contributions from time to time, writers and photographers will do well to send in their name and address, as well as a few words telling what kind of work they are best fitted for, in order that they may be listed in our special contributors' directory. It is this directory on which we depend for giving our special assignments."

SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, Fifth Avenue at 48th Street, New York. Monthly; per copy, 35c.; per year, $4.00. Editor, Robert Bridges. One of the most important American illustrated literary magazines. It speaks to an intellectual audience and its fiction and articles must be strictly high-class. One of the chief markets for the informed travel article, written by an explorer of repute, naturalist of reputation, or the like—if illustrated by the author or by members of the same expedition, all the better. Other articles or essays may be on literature or life-entertaining, significant and practical. Uses at least one serial, generally by a well-established author, and several fine short-stories in each issue. Also a good market for the distinctive poem. Courteous, and prompt in dealing with contributions, and pays on acceptance.

SHORT STORIES, Garden City, L. I., New York. Monthly; per copy, 15c.; per year, $1.50. Editor, Harry E. Maule. A general fiction magazine read mostly by men. Friendly to the new writer who has something to say and knows how to say it. Uses stories of 4000 to 6000 words, with fresh, strong, original plots, dealing with presentday life or with adventure, humor, or the outdoors. Business and sport stories particularly desirable. Plot and action are primary requisites. One complete novel of 55,000 words is used each month. Stories of distant lands are liked, having both plot and action, but not leaving out the distinction of style. No sex stories, or psychological problems wanted. Manuscripts reported on in ten days. Payment on acceptance.

THE SMART SET, 25 West 45th Street, New York. Monthly; per copy, 25c.; per year, $3.00. Editors, H. L. Mencken, George J. Nathan. Several classes of fiction are used by this distinctive magazine, which is not illustrated. First, every month a complete novelette of from 15,000 to 25,000 or more words is published. The theme is likely to be life a la mode, but dialogue and narrative treatment must be clever and sparkling. Second, several short-stories of from 1500 to 3000 words are printed. In these practically no theme is taboo, not even tragedy, if the substance and treatment are convincing. The editors state that they are glad to receive the work of new writers if it is sincere and arresting, although no other magazine in America would consider it. They are not afraid of sex stories, but do not want the raw and risqué. Third, this is a market for sketches of 1000 words, or less, brief pictures of real life, fables, little tales, and vignettes. One mordant essay is published each month; and a considerable number of sharp and neat poems-including verse-de-société, ballads, and all other forms except blank verse. Print a one-act play each month. The Editorial Department further announces: "that it will be unable hereafter to return unsolicited manuscripts that are not accompanied by stamped and addressed envelopes, nor will the editors enter upon any correspondence regarding such manuscripts. The chief current needs of The Smart Set are for unusual short-stories, novelettes of about 16,000 words, and good epigrams. At the moment it is buying no war stories or poems. It never buys jokes or anecdotes, epigrams based upon puns, parodies, vers libre, or fiction of an inspirational and uplifting design. Its short-stories, in the main, must deal with civilized and sophisticated folks. Stories dealing with Greenwich Village, the Canadian Northwest, the cow country and the supernatural are never read beyond the first page. Nor are stories in the form of moving picture scnearios. The Smart Set buys translations, but not unless the written authorization of the author and a license from the owner of the copyright are submitted with the manuscript. The magazine prints an edition in England, and asks for both the English and American rights to all matter submitted." Report on manuscripts in a week. Pay on acceptance.

SUNSET MAGAZINE, THE PACIFIC MONTHLY, San Francisco, Calif. Monthly; per copy, 15c.; per year, $1.50. Editor, Charles K. Field. In the market for short-stories of 6000 words or under of real human interest, barring conventional Wild West material; western material of interest to a Pacific Coast circulation, also special articles on the Pacific Basin, barring purely descriptive travel matter. Wants five hundred word sketches of Pacific Coast people with strong per sonality and interesting situation in life, accompanied by portraits. For its department, Homes in the West, wants brief, illustrated material dealing with conditions of life, domestic architecture, ingenious home-made contrivances applicable to Western conditions. Holds a regular contest, continuing from month to month, in which prizes are awarded for the best analyses of Sunset advertisements. The editor writes: "Sunset's object is to give Westerners a greater amount of space devoted to their affairs than any other national magazine can afford to do. For this reason it will be apparent that Sunset desires to print something besides descriptions of Indian life or customs, scenery for its own sake, pioneer diaries, or wild and woolly stories of ranch and range. So far as it belongs to the West of today, something of this material is of value, but Western life is as complex today as in any other section of the country, and it is a many-sided life that Sunset aims to picture. A good story is worth while whatever its setting, and Sunset does not require its fiction to be placed in the West. But it would rather have a good story of Western life than a story which only a New Yorker can thoroughly appreciate." Manuscripts are reported on in two weeks. Payment is made on acceptance or shortly thereafter. Rates vary more in accordance with character of material than length. $75 to $100 is paid for short fiction; $25 to $100 for special articles.
