The Advocate.

The new number of the Advocate is in a healthier vein than usual. Of the four main articles, only one-"A Horse Race at Hot Sulphur," by Hal Sayre, Jr., '98-is of Western life, and this without any slaughter whatever. "On Being at Home in the World," an essay by R. P. Utter '98, is an attempt to prove "that the world is a better place to be at home in than a house of four walls."

Regular readers of the Advocate will be delighted to find in this number two interesting love stories. Both naturally deal with long periods of time. R. P. Bellows '99 has made a charming portrait of a sentimental American artist of the last century in "A Carver of Stone."

P. B. Sawyer '98 describes in condensed form the romance of a young widower and a Boston girl who has been through college.

An ably written editorial comparing American colleges with German universities, some verses and a piece of lively description, called "Man Overboard," by Horatio Bigelow '99, complete the number.
