...intelligent performances; the former especially was rendered in perfect ensemble and spirit. Le Clair's charming sonata gave a taste of French Seventeenth Century music, which delighted the audience. In this selection the viola work of M. Artiere appeared to great advantage. Dohnanyi's quartet, romantic in its emotional content, seemed the favorite of those present, and by far was the most interesting work on the program, with its sustained chords and surging melody, freely Magyarian in technique and feeling...

What would citizens of this country think if in an uprising against the Boston police, the officials of law and order were content to deal with the situation by a system of reprisals, even if they were justified? They would instinctively reject such a system because so far in history it has never succeeded in administering justice satisfactorily; and it never will. Law that people fear and hate is worthless so far as justice is concerned. In modern times any community that believes in the eye for an eye doctrine must be either struggling for existence without...

...genial and often pointed scoffing at the more obvious foibles of one of the chief ornaments of our newsstands. Whether the devoted reader of "Popular Mechanics" who has for years compounded folding beds out of hen houses by following the directions in his favorite periodical, will be equally content, is another question, but surely in the intervals of his labors he may enjoy the full tide of Lampoon punning, alliteration, and nonsense.

Anne is an orphan, left in the charge of two young men. One of them marries her, and the other, John Halliday, a sort of intellectual Major Dobbin, equally in love with her, must be content to worship from afar. Anne, as a bride of 17, is not willing to become prematurely a sedate matron; she starts out to live her life in her own sweet way. But finally, after she has had her share of trouble and excitement--after she has been separated from her husband and has lost her only child--come reconciliation and a humbling...

...truth of the imagination far surpassing the truth of reality; and a play of Sophocles or an ode of Pindar is a literary structure to which the same painstaking care has been given. But in translation the effect of all this delicate workmanship is irretrievably lost. He who is content to study the classics in translation alone will be content to regard as Doric temples the post-office buildings, with column drums slushed in mortar, which the Government has recently been depositing throughout this country. Again he who is content to study the classics in translation alone may fitly...
