...course your article is not actually invidious. The surest way into the heart; of "travelers" is to remind them that some travelers ("present company always accepted!") are "rubbernecks". It gives us all such a feeling of superiority! surely an established and respected firm like Cook's need not be slaughtered to make a travelers' holiday...
...cover as suavely lurid as a tiger rug. It abandoned s practice of reproducing, under its title-head, a portrait, by some substantial master-folowed instead the example of The Dial, The Atlantic Monthly, The Yale Review by printing there its table of contents. There was little to remind the twitching ear-tabbed centenarian of the cover familiar to his halcyon days - the two roco pedestals that framed a page made acceptable for mid-centry boudoirs with a trinity of cherubs, two scattering flowers while the third his little round buttocks eclipsing the north pole of a small world wafted...

S. citizen, anchored for further writing (a sequel to Race) at Westport, Conn., should remind his new countrymen of the texture of his thought. Grimly opposed to "sea stuff," particularly in the magazines of a landlubber nation, he is himself by no means all sailor. His concern is the large "ineluctable problem of human folly," his attitude that of a "benevolent marbleheart," his wit salt...
