Mrs. Fisher is now in France (1918) carrying on her work of mercy for the French soldiers and their families. 

 Elsie Singmaster (Mrs. Harold Lewars) lives in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and has written most entertaining stories of that historic region and also of the life of the descendants of the Dutch settlers of Pennsylvania. Among her many stories are When Sarah Saved the Day, The Christmas Angel, The Flag of Eliphalet, and Stories of the Red Harvest and the Aftermath. This author is a frequent contributor to magazines. In The Survivors we watch the conflict in the breast of stubborn old Adam Foust and rejoice with tears in our eyes when in the time of his friend’s need, love conquers, and Adam and Henry march arm-in-arm down the village street. The story is told with the realism and beauty that characterize all of this author’s work, much of which describes the everyday happenings of commonplace people with absolute fidelity.

 Albert Payson Terhune (1872- ) wrote his first book in collaboration with his distinguished mother, “Marion Harland,” a well-known name in American homes. Mr. Terhune has written both novels and short stories and is especially successful in the latter form. Among his best stories are Caritas, Night of the Dub, Quiet, and The Wildcat. In The Wildcat we watch with deepest interest the actions of a Southern mountaineer, who, torn from his backwoods home by the draft, was forced to adopt habits and manners and to submit to a discipline to which he was utterly foreign. The mental gropings of this young American and the manner in which he found his soul and his country make a fascinating story.

 In The Citizen we have a beautiful picture of the vision of freedom that came to Big Ivan in downtrodden Russia, and we see him and the gentle Anna as they follow the beckoning finger of hope across Europe and the broad ocean until, in the words of Ivan, they found a home in a land “where a muzhik is as good as a prince of the blood.”
