The New Age, February 3, 1916

So many New Age posts in a row! Sorry if they are a little boring for my regular readers--I'm following Beatrice Hastings very closely these days because, at some point, she's going to stop appearing here. Posts on other journals soon!

Alice Morning/Beatrice Hastings continue their short story about the supernatural Peri.

Someone is contributing stories from the Ambulance Corps as "War Notes." I believe this is the poet "Andre B." who used to publish here, and who I know went to war. I don't know who Andre B. is, and "War Notes" are signed simply "B.," but they are the first vivid descriptions of World War One that I've seen. The Western Front's mud and misery have found The New Age. 

Quick Notes:

Alice Morning/Beatrice Hastings continue their short story about the supernatural Peri. This week's installment has her bamboozling upper crust people. 

 "Men and Manners" continues with a piece on why one should not call the waitress "Miss."

Feminist Alice Smith has been debating the position of women in industry and in guild socialism for some time now--this issue has a long and eloquent letter from her.

One R.M. Fox fills the week's Pastiche column with "Factory Echoes: Sketches from Life," which are what they sound like.
