...experience in France has made me feel that the United States should be pretty slow in going into war, as men who know what real war is realize that it is all too horrible to enter lightly. The feeling in England and France towards America has changed tremendously during the past three months. When I arrived in England there was that sneering attitude common with the majority of the people, but their attitude is different now since they feel that the United States is with them.

We may trust the time will soon come when the great high schools of the country will give courses in merchandising, emphasizing the practical side of it, of course, as for example, teaching the eager youth of the country how to dispose of dry goods in the basement for five dollars that goes begging on the first floor at two dollars and fifty cents...

The heroine is gladsome, and, with Mr. McGowan, sings a clever and unique song, with words of one letter and a catchy melody. The two sisters of Miss Piers and MissWegeman are brimming with comedy. Miss Piers especially brings a most engaging gentle personality to the "un-ethereal" sister, who is always hungry. Miss Michelena is a picture and sings delightfully a too insufficient number of songs. Lynn Overman is humorous...
