She doesn't think\nof the exposed, disarranged dress, she doesn't see the dis*\narranged hair, but only a beautiful line as the expression\nof a beautiful emotion. Her splash of color gives radiance\nto the life of her emotions.\nWhile most of her drawings are draped with nothing more\nsubstantial than a very fine gauze, they do not impress us as\nnudes. They are clad with the purity of beauty. They can\nbe used as well for extra illustrating the Arabian Nights or\nthe works of Boccaccio as well as very appropriate decora-\ntion for a nursery or a girl's living room.\nMiss Tice is an artist. And even if she does not seem to be\ninterested in the small details like hands or feet or faces,\nher pictures contain the rhythm of life.

The mother's which prefers • death for her baby\nrather than life full of suffering! And there is the district\nnurse who knows; who witnessed such scenes in numberless\nother families, and there is the doctor who does not hesitate\nto state that a physician should be vested with the same\npowers of a judge. But-- the State forbids.\nAnd then the other scene ten years hereafter. The same\nflat; the same mother; her first-born child grown up to be a\npromising, healthy man and\"the poor little one\" an idiot, a\nconstant charge of his parent! And the same doctor, now in\nthese grave and troubled times of war, the recruiting surgeon\n*of the vicinity. Conscription is ordered. The big boy, his\nmother's only comfort in this world, which means to her a\nconstant chain of suffering, is conscripted* The State orders\nhim to go out and to shoot and to kill other mother's sons.\nThe State forbids to take the life of that poor-thing, that\nidiot in the corner, .over there ten years ago as it came into\nthe world, and the State forbids to saye the life of that big\ngrown up boy whom'the doctor had to declare as fit to be a\nsoldier for his country.\nThe mother is helpless just as helpless as the mother-cow\nin the stable, whom they force to bring Calves into the world\nand who has to lose her calf if they choose to butcher it.\nIt is just a statement of plain facts presented in two scenes,\nthe first and the last station on the passion-way of a mother\nin a modern state.\nThe Stronger\nTWO women. Both actresses. One is married and a\nmother; the other unmarried living her own life. They\nmeet the day before Christmas at a coffee house. The un-\nmarried one is mute. She does not say a word. She listens\nto her friend whom she caused so many pains and sleepless\nnights; whom she suspects to be the woman with whom her\nhusband was infatuated; whose taste, refinement and mode of\nliving her husband had admired. Whom she had to imitate\njust to please her husband.\nBut she cannot hate her rival, who like the thief who awak-\nens one night and finds the things he stole in the reposses-\nsion of the one from whom he stole it, is just a poor example\nof womanhood; who celebrates her Christmas Eve all by her-\nself in a public restaurant.\nStrindberg shows in this little gem of a play as well as in\nevery other one of his works that GOOD—and with \"good\"\nhe means healthy, the thing that has a purpose and is ful-\nfilling this purpose—is triumphant in the final end.

Richard le Gallienne\nsays in this article a few things which are true, even be they\nnot pleasing to the cirs of many an editor and publisher in\nthis country.\n# \"The word 'edito**', as applied to the conductors of maga-\nzines and newspaper*, is rapidly becoming a mere courtesy\ntitle; for the powers and functions formerly exercised by\neditors properly so called, are being more and more usurped\nby the capitalist pr\">or etor. There are not a few magazines\nwhere the \"editor\" has hardly more say in the acceptance of\na manuscript than the contributor who sends it in. Few\nare the editors left «vho uphold the magisterial dignity and\nawe with which the name of editor was wont to be invested.\nThese survive owin,-j chiefly to the prestige of long service,\nand even they are not always free from the encroachments of\nthe new method. The proprietor still feels the irksome\nnecessity of treat-ng their editorial policies with respect,\nthough secretly chafing for the moment when they shall\ngive place to more manageable modern tools. The \"new\"\neditor, in fact, is little more than a clerk doing the bidding\nof his proprietor, and the proprietor's idea of editing is\nslavishly to truckle to the public taste—or rather to his\ncrude conception of the public taste. The only real editors\nof to-day are the capitalist and the public. The nominal\neditor is merely an office-boy of larger growth, and slightly\nlargely salary.*\nInnocent souls still, of course, imagine him clothed with\ndivine powers, and letters of introiuction to him are still\nsought after by the superstitious beginner. Alas! the chances\nare that the better b? thinks of your MS. the less likely\nis it to be accepted by—the proprietor; for Mr Snooks, the\nproprietor, has dec>de.l tastes of his own, and a peculiar\ndistaste for anything remotely savoring of the 'literary.'\"\nThe Poetry Review\n. William Stanley Braithwaite, the Dean of Poetry editors\nof America, the anthologist who preserves American maga-\nzine verse for future generations yearly in a nicely-bound\nguilt-edged book, has founded a magazine of his own.
