...conduct the first of his series of four conferences on the general subject of "The Church and the Sacraments" in the parlor of Phillips Brooks House at 7.15 o'clock this evening. The course will be given under the auspices of the St. Paul's Society and will be somewhat similar to the one given by Dr. Van Allen two years...
...stories, "The Missing Volume" has possibilities of which the author does not take full advantage. It should have been done with greater subtlety, the ending especially, which is the obvious. The sketch itself is fairly original, and by no means badly done, but the style is unfortunately loose and somewhat careless.

If he can't do anything else, he takes...
...which a young man and young woman are both smitten by remorse for having given way to flirtation when their hearts were elsewhere engaged. Each decides to take the early morning train; on meeting they make the expected explanations. All these stories are well told, although the adjective is somewhat consistently overworked and the temptation to yield to cleverness is not always resisted. By far the best thing in the number is "Toodles." This account of the adventures of an incorrigible child is among the best undergraduate work I can remember. If the author can often repeat his success...
