Winter Butterflies in Bolinas

Winter Butterflies in Bolinas

by Mary D. Barber

The Monarch Butterfly Anosia Plexippus is a familiar object in many parts of the United States, but the fact that it migrates, covering in its flights hundreds and even thousands of miles, is not generally known. This butterfly appears in immense swarms every year early in September at Bolinas, a sheltered haven on the coast of California, about te..

Is Tomorrow Hitler's?

Is Tomorrow Hitler's?

by H. R. Knickerbocker

There is no such thing as winning a fight without passion. France went to war apologetically; France fought the war without music, and so France lost. Britain went to war apologetically, but Britain had the inestimable advantage of being bombed, and today for the first time in 100 years Britain is angry and is fighting as she has never fought befor..

Damned - The Intimate Story of a Girl

by E. S. Dorrance

Each held eyes and ears intent, realizing far too well that his particular tenure of preferment hung upon the mood ..

Impressions and experiences

Impressions and experiences

by William Dean Howells

My earliest memories, or those which I can make sure are not the sort of early hearsay that we mistake for remembrance later in life, concern a country newspaper, or, rather, a country printing-office. The office was in my childish consciousness some years before the paper was; the compositors rhythmically swaying before their cases of type; the pr..

Londinium, Architecture and the Crafts

Londinium, Architecture and the Crafts

by W. R. Lethaby

It is curious that Roman buildings and crafts in Britain have hardly been studied as part of the story of our national art. The subject has been neglected by architects and left aside for antiquaries. Yet when this story is fully written, it will appear how important it is as history, and how suggestive in the fields of practice. This provincial Ro..
