In the New York _Critic_ a suggestion is made that it would be a
graceful thing for Editors of Magazines to bring out occasionally a
"Consolation Number," containing only rejected contributions. But
why not give the Editor's _reasons_ for rejecting them as well? This
would be such a "consolation" to the public, if not to the authors!
A specimen number might be made up somewhat as follows:--
1. "A Dream of Fair Wages."--A Rondel by TENNYSON KEIR HARDIE MORRIS
SNOOKS.
[Rejected as a mixture of bad politics with worse poetry.]
