But she has fallen under the idolizing spell of the author-brother and thinks she cares for him. Only when "Steve," hopeless, leaves for the West does "The Brat" know that she cared for him all along. In the last act the affairs of "Steve" and "The Brat" are cleared up, but the author in all his glory is left lovelessly and hopelessly engaged...

Yet we find that of the eighteen contributions to the current Advocate all but four are verses, and one of the four is an appreciation of Amy Lowell. And several of these are rather more than acceptable. This is hardly the place for a discussion of modern poetry, but such a situation cannot escape comment. How the times have changed!--or is it merely the result of a long and assiduous storing...
