_The following table includes the averages of all American magazines published during 1915 of which complete files for the period covered were placed at my disposal. One, two, and three asterisks are employed to indicate relative distinction. "Three-asterisk stories" are of somewhat permanent literary value._ ______________________________________________________________________ MAGAZINES | NO OF | NO OF | PERCENTAGE OF | | STORIES | DISTINCTIVE | DISTINCTIVE | | PUBLISHED | STORIES | STORIES | | | PUBLISHED | PUBLISHED | | |_______________|________________| | | * | ** | *** | * | ** | *** | _________________________|___________|____|____|_____|_____|____|_____| American Magazine | 53 | 23 | 11 | 3 | 43 | 21 | 6 | Associated Sunday | | | | | | | | Magazines | 39 | 9 | 2 | 1 | 24 | 5 | 3 | (Jan-May See also | | | | | | | | Every Week) | | | | | | | | Atlantic Monthly | 24 | 16 | 8 | 2 | 67 | 33 | 8 | Bellman | 39 | 20 | 11 | 7 | 51 | 28 | 18 | Black Cat | 108 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 0 | Bruno Chap Books | 7 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 43 | 0 | 0 | Century Magazine | 53 | 32 | 15 | 7 | 60 | 28 | 13 | Collier's Weekly | 142 | 46 | 21 | 9 | 32 | 15 | 6 | Delineator | 30 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 23 | 7 | 3 | Everybody's Magazine | 46 | 13 | 3 | 1 | 28 | 6 | 2 | Every Week (See also | 77 | 23 | 2 | 1 | 30 | 3 | 2 | Associated Sunday | | | | | | | | Magazines) | | | | | | | | Forum | 13 | 12 | 6 | 3 | 92 | 46 | 23 | Good Housekeeping | 42 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 10 | 2 | 2 | Harper's Bazar | 23 | 6 | 4 | 0 | 26 | 17 | 0 | Harper's Magazine | 101 | 56 | 28 | 12 | 56 | 28 | 12 | Harper's Weekly | 25 | 18 | 4 | 0 | 72 | 16 | 0 | Illustrated Sunday | | | | | | | | Magazine | 182 | 59 | 27 | 16 | 32 | 15 | 9 | Or excluding reprints | 169 | 46 | 15 | 5 | 27 | 9 | 3 | International | 17 | 10 | 5 | 2 | 59 | 29 | 12 | Ladies' Home Journal | 42 | 8 | 3 | 1 | 19 | 7 | 3 | Life | 68 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 15 | 0 | 0 | Lippincott's and | | | | | | | | McBride's Magazines | 98 | 36 | 6 | 1 | 36 | 6 | 1 |
