...impelled by a desire to write. Glutted with his boyhood, gorged with reading, he feasted immoderate- ly on the profuse externals of the city. As he fed, self-consciousness awoke and introspection tickled and whetted his emotional appetites. These he celebrated with loose living and brilliant adjectival bombinations, in print and conversation.

The editorials in the Advocate have always had something to present other in the way of suave innuendo or of righteous exaggeration, and the book reviews were usually competent, but not clever, but one suspects that the unbroken columns of the editorial pages and the unbelievably microscopic print of the reviews presented too little attraction to the eye to tempt the reader from skipping. In the current issue, however, the editorials and reviews are made unusually attractive through liberal use of spaces and running captions in the editorial department, and the selection of a larger type...
