...Significance. A compact, well constructed novel, written with Mrs. Wharton's unfailing deftness and giving a faithful picture of War-time Paris, A Son at the Frant, can hardly fail to attract a considerable audience. And yet it seems a curiously lifeless book. The characters seem shadowy and unsubstantial; the exact, neat detail, lacking in any real significance; the tale, twice-told. To your reviewer, coming, as it does after Mr. BritUng, Sonia, Le Feu, Three Soldiers, One of Ours and Through the Wheat, A Son at the Front appears like an exhibition of perfect waxworks, meticulously constructed, displaying every...
...certain that a new chapel would not combine them. The college religious service no longer plays any part in the lives of a vast majority of students, nor is it likely to become any more important in the future. A new building would hardly change this situation, and a lifeless, neglected edifice would be the most ignominious of tributes. Furthermore the very idea of such a suggestion would have seemed sentimental and not a little ironical to the men whom it has intended to honor.

But apart from...
...current number augurs well for a good year of the magazine. Several pages, it is true, are obviously filled with stuffing--with the tatulent buffoonery which comes of labored writing. Almost invariably the editorials are of this quality; some of the jokes, too, are hammered out on solid, lifeless anvils. The skit entitled "The Freshman and the Two Gentlemen" and the first of a series of "Prominent Harvard Graduates" do not commend the Lampoon's flowing bowl. And the text of the first page is scarcely better...
...preparation has become so popular is due to the valuable ingredients which exert an antiseptic action on the bacteria and the stimulating properties on the scalp. It is really astonishing how quickly Noonan's Hair Petrolo will show improvement even in cases where the hair is very dry and lifeless and the scalp unusually scaly. Barbers apply Noonan's Hair Petrolo for fifteen cents or it can be bough at drug and dept, stores, $1.00 a bottle, or from mfr., T. Noonan & Sons Co., 38 Portland St., Boston...
