The main story is a romance of American life, called "The Story of Gertrude Comstock," in which the composition and arrangement of the plot are peculiarly strong. The style is more of the old-fashioned simple sort, without the tiresome details of the present realistic tendency in literature. The two other tales, The Wanderings of Alexis II. and the Two Margarets are also vigorous and interesting. The verse contributions to the number are a rondeau. "Ah!

...been rated at the head of the 'world's' players by an English authority, and judging by present tendencies there will be several more Harvard men to back up his reputation. We have unusual facilities for field tennis in Harvard, but could not an arrangement be made for some sort of a racquet court, where the more skill-requiring game of court tennis could be played. It might be under the auspices of the H. A. A., or the work of a private organization, to be opened to public use afterward, on payment of rent, just as the courts...
