The strongest note in “ The New Idea ” for November is its fiction, in which department the editor is evidently striving to maintain a very high standard. One charming story is from the pen of a daughter of “Hop, the most famous caricaturist in Australia, whilst “ A Woman’s Quest ” is a modern fable with an old moral. Next to the fiction come the fashions, which are particularly useful. Included are free paper patterns of various garments, ana a number ot pages of designs showing the very latest and best things m the world of dress. Next come the housekeeper s pages, replete with advice and directions on a score of subjects, such as cookery, furnishing, making and mending, and practical advise. Finally, there are the serials and the special articles. Chief among the latter is an account of a visit to a chicken-farm, written and illustrated by W- A. Somerset, who has gathered together not only a cluster of fine pictures, but a lot of good, useful advice on the rearing of white Leghorns. The doings of Borne Royalties and other notable people are told in picture and prose, and a fine lot of little Christmas gifts are pictured— with instructions for then making.
