...prose the number stands redeemed from commonplace by two mystical allegories of Paulding--not sufficiently dissimilar for one number--and Dos Pasasas's "Orientale," a clever, and entertaining story. Angels, however, is a singularly unsophisticated widow. Whittlesey in "The Old Order Changeth," seems an echo from last year, simply human and realistic--not of the order of The Smart Set.

It is the dramatic story of the adventures of two bad boys and a clever dog, the latter being in the New York Heralds estimation, the leading "man", who "played" with finesse and "tact". "Young America" was written round the juvenile court idea, and with this institution as a background; the author has treated the life of the youthful offenders with such understanding sympathy that he brought...
