Magazines should have a well-defined purpose. Genuine entertainment,
amusement and mental recreation are the motives of _The Smart Set,_
the MOST SUCCESSFUL OF MAGAZINES. Its NOVELS (a complete
one in each number) are by the most brilliant authors of both
hemispheres. Its SHORT STORIES are matchless--clean and full of
human interest. Its POETRY, covering the entire field of
verse--pathos, love, humor, tenderness--is by the most popular poets,
men and women, of the day. Its JOKES, WITTICISMS, SKETCHES, etc.,
are admittedly the most mirth-provoking.
