SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES.
Scribner’s for September appears to us
to be not quite so interesting as usual. . . .
There are two short stories, “Cunliffe,”
by Mary Tappan Wright, a very unwholesome,
unpleasant sort of a story, and
“Love’s Handicap,” by John J. a’Becket,
an amusing tale which is not the less entertaining
because of its impossibility. . . .
