...legal, or industrial, in the status of woman would do a great harm to women and thence to the family. She closed with the plea that the whole woman suffrage question depends on people thinking in the light of reason and justice, instead of seeing the cause through the mist of their own prejudices or the conservatism which is bred of custom; in short, that people should consider the question on its own merits...
...Victorian turns to the verse: here surely will be comfort; he can understand. Mist, Water-Lilies, Dusk, Evening in the Town, To Snowflakes Dancing Before My Window, In Memoriam, Their First Ride Together; Wordsworth, Herrick, Tennyson, Browning! The mantle of the great upon the shoulders of another generation of poetic youth! Poetry is not dead, whatever may have been one's feelings after reading Number 1 of the new Poetry Journal...
...poetry is not strikingly good. "The Tale of the Stolen Squad" displays easy mastery of narrative verse and must have been fun to write. "Sea-Mist" is poetic--in part, at least--but only intermittently skilful in versification. It commits the indiscretion of beginning its first stanza with a verse that suggests a different metre from what is coming.

...college fiction, the value of which is very doubtful. It tells its story so allusively that it must remain elusive for most readers. When, too, the end is reached, the real content of the story seems so slight that one wonders why one should try to penetrate the mist of allusion thrown around it. "Sketchy" is the word that comes inevitably to mind as one reads these stories, even though there be in them good characterization and some telling phrase. Good touches like this in "A Committee of Three" are frequent. The writer says of a three cornered conversation...
