There is nothing that is really weak in the March number, although Mr. Arthur Marvell's roundel might have been dispensed with, and Miss Ella Ciutis's short story of "10.30 p.m.," pretty as it is in an old-fashioned way, is rather thin. The articles on "The Birthplace of Angelica Kauffman," "Georges Ohnet," "The Marriage of the Emperor of China," and "The Fall of Paganism," are, each in its own way, thoroughly readable, and in other respects admirable ; while Miss Shaw, in her article on P6rez Galdos, introduces the readers of the Woman's World to an author who to most of them will be a stranger.
