Editors realize that if they could get the stories of the ninety and nine, they would have material for a magazine such as never before was published But the difficulty is that the ninety and nine are inarticulate; they live the stories, but they can’t tell them. It is the one in one hundred who has the ability to write well. There is a magazine in which they, the trained writers, tell their stories. In the issue on sale today are many remarkable documents. For instance: A Woman Tells How and Why She “Planned to Murder Her Husband The amazing statement Jof Edwina Levin MacDonald, novelist, whose books you know. She married impetuously at sixteen and two years later decided to end an un bearable situation by killing the man she loved and hated. She bought her weapon, made her plans—then Fate took a hand. A Chicago Woman Asks...and Answers...Why Am I Married? Jay Gelzer, who has written some excep tional fiction, here tells the story of her o\s n lonely girlhood and of the problems that came with womanhood...a searching of her own heart, from the meeting with her first beau to the day she found the stimulus to her career in love for her children. What You Feel and Do When You Find You Are Going Blind We all know Basil King as a distinguished novelist. How many of us know that his most important books were written after he found out he was facing loss of sight. In all your reading, you can find nothing more inspiring than this intimate record of his courage and achievements. (Those personal experiences arc fascinating. They arc from the hearts and pens of worth-while people. So, too, in this magazine, persons of distinction tell how they have learned other lessons from life For instance:' H. G. Wells' Views on the Sensible Way to Treat Your Son The man who wrote the famous Outline of History, as well as some of the most unusual novels of our time, believes that parents have a habit of getting in the road of their children. You will see a way to apply his experience to yours by reading the radical views this great thinker has developed as a parent. Will H. Hays Learned a Lot from the Folks Back in Sullivan, Ind. ' Here we have a small-town boy, grown to small-town lawyer; become the master political strategist of hi$ time; postmaster general; finally head of the fifth greatest in dustry in the world What was the founda tion of his power? It was laid by his neigh bors in a little Indiana town. He tells you of them and of what they taught him. A Man of 71 VTho Believes That Success is Easier Than Failure Ed Howe, the Kansas philosopher, is one ot the keenest thinkers in America. Just past 71, he has been looking back over his life. The things he has seen and experienced have given him decided ideas about you and your neighbors. Many a man, reading them, will be a different man when he goes to work tomorrow. If thesejix samples be indicative, then here truly is a magazine that's different. And th<**‘ are only samples. B. C. Forbes, from his vast experience as a business expert, tells the part wives play in men’s careers; Norman Hapgood tells how he will vote, and why; Inin Cobb, Ray Long, Paul dc Kruif; deal with bill-boards, babies, and heroes. The fiction, too, is written as close to life as these remarkable personal experience stories. For instance: The Misunderstood Husband A story of the Other Woman, Clair of the drawling voice, with the fire of challenge In her lips. And the wife. Man-, the sort of mother you find in real life. By Elsie Robinson.
