The Advocate.

The number of the Advocate which was issued last night contains a story, "Tempo di Valse," by C. R. Saunders '01, which is so delicate in its conception and treatment, and is written in such a pleasant, finished style that it deserves especial mention. Moreover, the number as whole has attained a higher literary plane than is usually reached. "At Parting," a series of dainty triolets, is amusing and well composed, and seems, together with a poem which appeared in the last number, to promise that the Advocate has wisely decided to include within its province verse, not burlesque enough to be fit for the Lampoon, but yet of a light character. This especial poem, for instance, will be read with much more interest by the students, for whom this paper is meant, than will "The Girlhood of Beatrice," by Blair Fortesque, which attempts too much.
