We have received the half-yearly (November-April) volumes of the Century
Illustrated Monthly Magazine (10s. 6d.) and of St. Nicholas : an Ilustrated Magazine for Young Folks (8s. 6d.) (Macmillan and Co.) Both magazines are so widely known, and wherever they are known, are so fully appreciated, that there is little need to do more than chronicle their appearance in volume form. But we must call special attention to two papers, "Our Foolish Virgins" and "Some of Our Wise Virgins." The account of the "Lady Golf Champion," as the author of the paper saw her at a country house where she was a guest, is indeed amazing. She came with her English trainer, a masseuse, and her mother (who could talk of nothing else). She spent the whole day in golfing or training, had her food carefully weighed out, and was kept up to the point on the match day by "tea," which was apparently of an unusually cheering kind. Surely we have not got the fever so badly over here.
