...Love will Find the way" is in certain respects one of the most ambitions pieces of prose in this number of the Advocate. The heroine of the tale is a chorus girl in Francis Wilson's Opera Company who is loved wisely and well by a Harvard man, who marries another girl, however, and who herself finally marries his valet. Cupid still continues to stretch "the silver cord of love" between the Harvard man and his operatic loved one, and as the correct working out of the plot demands that they should come together, the wife of the Harvard...
...Annex girl is evidently more fortunate than her collegiate brother in pursuance of the study of English-for in writing her themes she has ever before her eyes the chance of handing down her name to posterity,- as several of them have recently done in a little publication entitled "English Composition."

The consent of both fathers as well as that of the bride had to be obtained and the parties could not be near relations. The betrothal was somewhat of the nature of a modern contract, there being witnesses to sign the papers and a certain amount of money being...
...with scenes and people widely different from those he delineated so well in his story "After Twenty Years," in the Advocate. The story which appears today is a student reminiscent sketch, depicting in a perfectly natural manner the abyss of mortification into which a particular seaside resort, a particular girl, and a particular masquerade ball plunged a certain college man. The plot is clever and well worked out and the language shows no inappropriate word or phrase...
