The Pansy Magazine, November 1887

Warranted absolutely pure Cocoa, from which the excess of Oil has been removed. It has three times the strength of Cocoa mixed with Starch, Arrowroot or Sugar, and is therefore far more economical, costing less than one cent a cup. It is delicious, nourishing, strengthening, easily digested, and admirably adapted for invalids as well as for persons in health.

WIDE AWAKE.

A Look Ahead into 1888.

Edmund C. Stedman

The Christmas (Dec.) number will open with a noble Christmas poem by Edmund Clarence Stedman, entitled The Star-Bearer, with superb full-page frontispiece and text illustrations by Howard Pyle.

Andrew Lang

The Holiday number will also give a poem by the witty English author, Andrew Lang, entitled the Ballad of a Bad Boy—which is to be received as an amusing bit of autobiography, for Mr. Lang writes: “It is true—and I hope moral!” The “bad boy” will be drawn by W. L. Taylor.

H. Rider Haggard

A third great feature of the Christmas number will be a complete African Serial Story by H. Rider Haggard, author of the famous books, “She,” “King Solomon’s Mines,” etc., etc. The story is called A Tale of Three Lions, and will have thrilling full-page illustrations by Heywood Hardy the English lion painter. The holiday number will be much enlarged to include this serial entire.

Farm-Life for Young People, by Ik Marvel (Donald G. Mitchell), Out-of-Door Papers by John Burroughs, together with Walking, Rowing, and The Training of Dogs, three papers by Louise Imogen Guiney, will form a delightful phase of the coming volume.

Sidney Luska

My Uncle Florimond is a beautiful and romantic Serial Story for boys by Sidney Luska, author of those popular novels of the day, “As It was Written,” “Mrs. Peixada,” and “The Yoke of the Thorah.” It is the first story which he has written for young folks. My Uncle Florimond is quite a new kind of magazine serial, and handsome Gregory Brace is quite a new kind of boy to be met in a story-book, though fortunately for the world there are some like him in real life. Fathers and mothers will like their young folks to make the acquaintance of this chivalric young fellow, and also of the true girl Rosalind. The illustrations will be by George Wharton Edwards.

A Painter of Child-Life. (First Art Paper.) A beautiful art-paper for children, by the English art-writer, T. Letherbrow, about the English painter, Warwick Brookes, who was once a little “tear-boy” in the Manchester cotton-mills, and afterwards rose to great eminence in art. This remarkable article is to have twenty exquisite illustrations of child-life from photographs of the artist’s paintings and drawings.

M. E. W. Sherwood

A brace of sparkling Serial Stories, Those Cousins of Mabel’s, and Double Roses, will be contributed by Mrs. John Sherwood, author of Harper’s standard etiquette manuals, and of “Royal Girls and Royal Courts.” In these stories she does good service to her young countrywomen by showing them what a pleasant and comfortable thing it is to be acquainted with the usages of refined society and to conform to them. The loveliness and nobility of Mabel will render her the ideal “society girl” of young readers, and everybody will follow the experiences of the brilliant Phyllis and the piquant little Wilhelmina, the two girls from Haffreysberg, with blended amusement and sympathy. The life Mrs. Sherwood describes exists in all large cities, the same embarrassments entangle young strangers to social forms, the same heartlessness, over against the same loftiness of character, is found among people of fashion; and the counsel given to Phyllis and Wilhelmina will be as helpful to thousands of other girls—and certainly this social counsel could come from no higher authority than Mrs. Sherwood. Charming pictures will be drawn by W. L. Taylor.

Daniel Webster in New Hampshire. (First Historical Article.) Reminiscences, anecdotes, and gossip about the great statesman, given to the author, Miss Amanda B. Harris, by Webster’s early friends and neighbors in New Hampshire, or gathered from unpublished letters. With portraits from life-photographs, and many sketches.

Mary B. Crowninshield

Plucky Small: His Story, is a serial by Mary Bradford Crowninshield. “I was a wharf rat,” begins Plucky. Plucky’s friend, “The Tinker,” was another; “why ‘The Tinker,’” says Plucky, “he don’t know, nor I don’t know.” Plucky does a great brave deed, and on account of it he gets a chance to enlist “in the apprentice-service of a United States training-ship,” and so does “the Tinker,” and away they go on a long cruise, down around the south of Europe, into the Mediterranean, with stops at Marseilles, Gibraltar, and Havre—a whole ship-full of prankish boys; and how realistic the story is may be guessed from the fact that the author is the wife of Commander Crowninshield, now of the U. S. School-Ship St. Mary’s, and has cruised with the boys on other U. S. training-ships. Pictures by Frank T. Merrill.

About Rosa Bonheur. (Second Art Paper.) This charming account of the wonderful French woman who has painted the finest animal pictures since Landseer has been written for Wide Awake by Rosa Bonheur’s friend of many years, the American artist, Henry Bacon. The picture of her in studio dress painting the famous “Head of a Lion” was drawn by Mr. Bacon; the portrait of her at eighteen is from a painting by her brother, Auguste Bonheur. Full of anecdote and with many pictures.

Harriet Taylor Upton

Children of the White House, by Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, is a series of articles of national importance and national interest. It is a wonder that this work has not been undertaken before for the pleasure and information of young Americans. Starting with the little Custises, the adopted children of Washington, this fascinating series, giving a chapter to each Presidential family, comes down to the present administration, gathering up delightful details of family life, and tracing the after histories of the Presidential children. Mrs. Upton for many years has had rare privileges of ransacking old annals in Washington, and interesting family reminiscences have been kindly recalled for her, and precious relics, portraits, and paintings furnished for photographing.

The Story of Boston Common, by Edward Everett Hale, is now complete in MS., and the long-expected series, touching much of early American history, will be given, in three or more chapters, with historic and modern pictures, during the coming summer.

Oscar Fay Adams

Certain old authors, certain old books, certain old nursery stories, have become household words and household treasures the world over. Under the title of Dear Old Story-Tellers, Mr. Adams will relate all of interest that is known about these dear old authors, books and stories. The series of twelve papers embrace Æsop, Arabian Nights, Mother Goose, Perrault, La Fontaine, Defoe, Madame de Genlis, Brothers Grimm, Hans Andersen, Laboulaye, La Motte-FouquÉ—with authentic portraits, when such exist, and other illustrations.

The Medal Children of the Renaissance. (Third Art Paper.) An art article for young readers by Frances H. Throop about some high-born children of the fifteenth century, whose portraits were sculptured or cast in medallions; these lovely medals are preserved in European museums and collections, being regarded as precious art-treasures; and Miss Throop has made casts and drawings from the originals to illustrate her paper.

Olive Risley Seward

Around-the-World Stories relate a dozen unique personal experiences—some diverting, some perilous—of the adopted daughter of Secretary of State, William H. Seward, on his journey around the world after he had recovered from the attack on his life at the time of the assassination of President Lincoln. Miss Seward is a born story-teller, and whether she is describing A Dinner at Kensington Palace, or A Visit to the Great Wall of China, or Experiences as a Lion-Tamer, or Adventures in the Streets of Pekin, the interest is always breathless, the story always novel. Illustrations by Wm. T. Smedley and others.

An Old House on Royal Street. (Second Historical Article.) This delightful paper about old New Orleans and early Louisiana by Mrs. M. E. M. Davis (author of In War-Times at La Rose Blanche), written in the old house that was General Jackson’s headquarters, abounds in reminiscences of Indian, French, Spanish and Creole days, of Jackson, Galvez, the pirate Lafitte, Bienville, Pere Antoine, Don Almonaster, and other famous men of the Southwest. Full of portraits.

Margaret Sidney

Eurania’s Boys is the title of a story by Margaret Sidney: Mrs. Eurania Stebbins and several members of her family being called away suddenly from home, her two boys keep house—not exactly according to her methods!

Elbridge S. Brooks will contribute a series of practical papers for young people embodying suggestions helpful to them in their desire to get on in the world. The papers will be a departure from the customary “Letters to Young Men.” They will be, rather, in the spirit of appreciation and comradeship, and will endeavor to indicate and open toward the possibilities that exist for the boys and girls of America in these busy days that are merging into the twentieth century.

Louis T. Peale

In a series of informing articles about the U. S. Naval and Military Schools, Mr. Peale tells the boys and their home friends explicitly what applicants must know and do in order to enter any of the U. S. Government schools, exactly what is expected of them during the years of training, what obligations to the Government they thereby take upon themselves, and what the schools and the Government do for the boys. While full of picturesque interest for the general reader, the series form a manual for boys aspiring to enter the army and the navy. Illustrations.

For Business Boys will be pithy, unforgettable, lifting words, straight from man to boy, as felt and said by a man whose business writing is even better known than his name—a companion paper to Mr. Brooks’ series.

A. H. Leonowens

Our Asiatic Cousins will be the subject of a series of illustrated articles running through the year, by Mrs. Leonowens, who was for some years governess in the royal family of Siam, and who has travelled extensively in the East.

Among Sir Walter Ralegh’s Homes. (Third Historical Article.) Sir Walter is everybody’s hero, and Mrs. Raymond Blathwayt has written a charming paper about his birthplace and his young days, and she has sent over many beautiful photographs of his old haunts made expressly for Wide Awake; the manuscript itself has been prepared under the friendly supervision of Dr. Brushfield the English antiquarian and great Ralegh authority.

“Jessie” Benton FrÉmont

The Cruise of a Coverlet, being the adventures of an embroidered counterpane in the U. S. Navy, will be related by Mrs. FrÉmont. Illustrations from photographs.

Typical Children of England, by Julia Cartwright, will be a notable article, illustrated with most charming pictures of English children of the present day, all from life studies—the aristocratic type, the peasant type, the athletic, the spiritual, etc.

Brilliant additions to the preceding serials and specialties will include ballads, poems, and the following

BABYLAND

What Babies and Mammas
may look for during 1888.

The twelve numbers of Babyland for 1888 will be like twelve Christmas stockings stuffed full of delights—the choicest nuts, candies and raisins of jingledom and storyland; and there will be three special big delicious bon-bons besides.

Me and Toddlekins is a story told by “Me,” whose other name is Mew-mew, and written down by Margaret Johnson, with cunning pictures of “Me” and Toddlekins, and their doings, drawn by the same Margaret Johnson.

Six New Finger Plays will be contributed by Emilie Poulsson. The instant popularity of the first series of Finger Plays, among little children, mothers, and kindergarten teachers, has tempted Miss Poulsson to prepare six more; the verses are delightfully amusing and graceful, and the pictorial instructions showing how to play the Plays, and the pictures themselves, will be by the same artist, Mr. L. J. Bridgman.

Allie and the Crickets will be the subject of six dear little stories that the crickets told to Baby Allie—some on the hearth as she sat in her mother’s lap at twilight, some when she was at play out in the sunny fields—very cunning little stories all of them (which Clara Doty Bates overheard and has related for other babies). Many pictures.

Babyland will be full of pictures, too, big and beautiful, little and funny; and it will be printed in large clear black letters, as usual, on strong fine paper, and have pretty pink covers. All sent by mail for 50 cents a year.

The Golden Text Stories for 1888 will be given under the title of We Twelve Girls, and they will be the actual accounts of how twelve girls tried to live by certain golden texts.

Quick Clues

A Midshipman at Large.

By Charles R. Talbot. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

An escapade of a bright young fellow who “shipped” for a yachting cruise in vacation.

The story has nothing to do with the question whether it pays to know one’s work and do it and “be,” as the phrase goes, “a gentleman”; but, if the reader chooses to think of them, he will find plenty of stimulant.

Storied Holidays.

By Elbridge S. Brooks, author of The American Indian, In Leisler’s Times, In No-Man’s Land, and others. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

An historic tale connected with a holiday in every month of the year.

There is the snapdragon Christmas quarrel of James I. of England with his sons about the release of Sir Walter Raleigh; a New Year’s meeting of Margery More with Henry VIII; how William Penn got his motto “Be true, be leal, be constant,” on St. Valentine’s Day; how the Earl of Kildare kept St. Patrick’s; the wise men of Gotham fool King John on the first of April; and so on through the months.

These stories out of history practise one in the times they take him back to.

Eighty-Seven.

By Mrs. G. R. Alden (Pansy, author of the hundred Pansy books and editor of The Pansy magazine). 12mo, cloth, 1.50.

What is very widely known, but to many obscurely known as the Chautauqua movement is told with a fulness that people would lack the patience to read, if the tale began there and stopped there.

Begins with a little civilized girl and a runaway—actually a tramp. But trust Pansy for making good company.

Take these four:

Oliver Wendell Holmes. By E. E. Brown.
James Russell Lowell. By E. E. Brown.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. By W. S. Kennedy.
John Greenleaf Whittier. By W. S. Kennedy.

To review their lives and work and catch the spirit of both in 300 or 400 pages of easy type is to give the bones of biography; which is all nine tenths of us have the time to read; and the other tenth are glad of the bones before they come to the more elaborate whole.

Dorothy Thorn of Thornton. By Julian Warth. A vigorous, even, well-sustained, intensely interesting, wholesome story.

The Full Stature of a Man. By Julian Warth. The author’s first novel; a very promising one.

Gladys: A Romance. By Mary G. Darling. This skein is untangled in a perfectly natural fashion—when you look back from the finis, which means a great deal more than it says.

Grafenburg People. By Reuen Thomas. A novel out of a row in the church—a good one; that is, novel, not row.

Romance of a Letter. By Lowell Choate. A life with an inflexible purpose turns out happy or not, according to—what? The old question: When do we arrive at “years of discretion?”

Rusty Linchpin and Luboff Archipovna. By Madame Kokhanovsky. Two stories of Russian life, of characteristic simplicity and interest.

Volume 15, Number 1. Copyright, 1887, by D. Lothrop Compan November 5, 1887.
