The color of our cover was chosen for us, dear Era, O, ever so long ago, long before we came here; long before it was suggested to the great Mr. Cornell to found a family monument at Ithaca; long before Cornell became as great as it is to-day.

For, certainly, no one can have read the editor's preface without the keenest appreciation of Kate McKean's trenchant wit and delicate sense of humor.
