...their sincerity. Mr. Ford's "Appearances at Oxford" is an unstudied attempt to reflect the daily life of our English undergraduate cousins; occasionally the style becomes too colloquial, yet, on the whole, the article is interesting and extremely readable. The four sonnets, on familiar college types, by Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez possess a finished gaiety not often found in academic publications. "The Goody" and "The Waitress" are particularly successful. The general resemblance of the sonnets to W. E. Henley's similar series is agreeably felt...
...treatment. The most original, so far as there is any distinction to be made, is an unsigned contribution called "The Dream Lady," in which, though the theme is an ancient one, the manner of presenting it goes far to redeem the commonplaceness of the subject. Mr. W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez's "Fleshings and a White Pony" contains the elements of a good story, but the setting is badly chosen. It seems hardly likely that even a circus rider would pour out the secrets of her heart to an utter stranger with the freedom with which the lady of the pink...
...verse, Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez contributes a Christmas sonnet in dignified yet not quite comfortable English; Mr. Greene a quatrain, which, like most attempts at packing poetry, wants ease and life; Mr. Aiken a longer poem ("The Spirit of Christmas Eve"), which shows little individuality, and not much responsiveness in vocabulary. Mr. Wheelock appears twice in this number, neither time in a Christmas spirit and neither time at his best. "The Return after Death" is ambitious and in spots effective, but suffers from want of metrical skill and from occasional weakness of word. The "Song," though less faulty, is also less...
...thing necessary to the perfection of the whole, and yet complete in itself even when detached. In at least three out of the four contributions to the current Advocate, in which Incident is the motive, the suspended interest is admirably maintained. Mr. Schenck's "Paper Chase" Mr. Tinckom Fernandez's "Necessary Child," and Mr. Morgan's "Hongkong to New York," alike leave us not only with a desire for more, but with a certain childish resentment against those authors for not telling us what "happened" afterwards. Mr. Millet's "Book Agent" is too incomplete even for an Incident. Something ought...
...level of this number's poetry is considerably below that of its prose. "Explanations," by Mr.E.E. Hunt, and "Voices in the Fall," by Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez, are little more than experiments in versification. Mr. Husband's "Dry Northeaster" is a spirited bit of writing, marred by a lack of technique. "Aft" does not rhyme with "mast"; nor can an adjective conclude one line, while the noun it qualifies begins the next, as in the opening of the second stanza. In Mr. Biddle's "On the Bridge" it is probably a printer's error that gives "eye" as a rhyme...
