...Dos Passos has an interesting impression of a meeting of the Salvation Army on a street corner. Even with the glorious liberty which his verse allows, must he resort to such rhymes as "tune" and "importune"? A short, vivid tale by Mr. H. S. Rogers, however, tells an old story and tells it well. Anonymity shields the author of "The Young Faun," who depicts not merely an afternoon, but several of the last mornings and evenings of the wild creature's life. "Shoes of Unity" is the name Mr. Littell gives his composition which, in spite of some harsh transpositions...
...short editorial on the late General Huerta to his longer article. Brief, bitter, and to the point, it reveals, like so much of the writer's other work, a personality which it were far better to agree with comfortably than combat. The only story in the issue--Mr. Dos Passos' "Cardinal's Grapes"--is a light trifle as the author intends it to be.

"The Poet and the Porcupine" by Mr. Rogers is a well-told fable, the moral of which...

...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. This order serves well for phantasy and the light touch, not for exposition, where, as in "The Movie and the Theatre" it proves neither delectable nor informative...
