...life, unlike many of its companions, has an ethical tone and skill in treatment which made it an unusually creditable performance. Equally commendable is "Miss Sarsh Eilen's Answer," though its theme is anything but academic. Of the other stories "How I was Translated by Horace," is fancifulness run riot, while "The Night and the Mood" would road better if further condensed into the form of a riddle and the answer appended.

"From the Front Platform" suffers somewhat from unnecessary length, but the story, which the old horse-car driver tells, is dramatic and abounds in well-drawn pictures. "Coward" is a railroad story with...
...Memorial be devoted to this purpose? It would be an easy matter to furnish it tastefully, replacing the clumsy tables and chairs by something lighter and more comfortable. Waitresses could be engaged for the room, and by means of the outer door visitors could enter without causing a riot in the main hall...
