Mr. Olgin has been for the last seventeen years in the very throes of new Russia.

Supt., Juvenile Court Detention Home, first at Portland, Oregon, then at Los Angeles County, California. She confesses to having written "free verse" and having published some more or less free, as well as technical matter relating to her occupation. She also confesses to "an incurable love of delinquent youngsters that keeps me from seriously plunging into literature; a corroding love of writing that haunts my job; and, for the rest, the joy of Pacific seas and forests (if traversed while in knickerbockers)." Mr. Colton is librarian of the University Club, author of several volumes of fiction and poetry, and a favorite contributor to this review. Miss Clark writes: "It seems hardly relevant to mention that I have been for twenty-two years Assistant Secretary of the [N. Y.] State Charities Aid Association, for I have not picked up the ideas that I expressed in your magazine in the office of the Association, nor in my visits to institutions for the feebleminded and the insane.

A few months after she left college, her mother died, and our contributor, being the oldest unmarried daughter, became chatelaine for an old-fashioned family consisting of four generations, thirteen individuals and "company." In 1902 she married. She has no children, but has reared five. She has published some juvenile literature. Regarding "Earth's Supreme Moment" she says: "I will admit that I wrote it to shock my brothers, and succeeded." In the biographical notice of Mrs. Gilmore which preceded her contribu-, tion, mention should have been made of her having been the wife of the Mr. Gilmore, who, under the nom de guerre of Edmund Kirke was quite a wellknown author in the third quarter of the last century.
