...exceptionally good one. The articles are varied and full of interesting reading. Fiction is well treated in "Alex Randall's Conversion" by Margaret C. Graham and "Old Kaskaskia" by Mrs. Catherwood, a continued story which is now fairly begun and in the midst of its situations and plot. Travel is represented by Mrs. Wiggin's sketches, "Penelope's English Experiences" which is also a continued story.

There are two characters in it-one a minister-that would do good to the heart of a lover of complexity; the other a New York girl who thinks. The story is full of ideas but they...
...Rouge et Noir' is a reminiscence of an alleged experience. It is good, the reminiscence, we mean, and there is the atmosphere of Paris about it all. There is not much in the plot, to be sure, but the descriptions make up for that lack...
