As some of our new subscribers do not understand what "Wiggles" are, we will repeat our explanation. The drawing marked New Wiggle, No. 19, on page 432, forms a portion of the _outline_ of a picture. The endeavor of a wiggle contributor is to furnish a sketch which will resemble our artist's idea.
Two Serial Stories will begin in the next Number of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, entitled respectively
THE CRUISE OF THE "GHOST," By W. L. ALDEN, AUTHOR OF "THE MORAL PIRATES,"
SUSIE KINGMAN'S DECISION; OR, THE STORY OF A MAY PARTY, By KATE R. McDOWELL.
Two New Serials, "THE CRUISE OF THE GHOST" and "SUSIE KINGMAN'S DECISION," are commenced in No. 80 of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, issued May 10. The former is by W. L. ALDEN, author of "The Moral Pirates," and relates the cruise of four boys in a small yacht along the south shore of Long Island. During a dense fog they drift out to sea, and meet with many adventures. The youthful reader will find the story intensely interesting as well as instructive. The illustrations are drawn by W. A. ROGERS and J. O. DAVIDSON.
