...species is really extremely democratic. They are masters of the "five-dollar party," can wear their clothes unpressed for a week without suffering social ostracism, can hold their heads high in a Ford, and bathe regularly in the buoyant waters of classroom erudition.

The sonnet by Mr. Rickaby is buoyant in tone and complete in execution. "The Arthropoda," by Mr. Rogers, represents a mingling of "cold blue science with a puikish dream divine" which has at least the merit of novelty. It dwells on the common origin of the spider and the bee, and proceeds in a mildly humorous, fantastic...
