The Assistant Librarian.

We had been an admirer, if a somewhat diffident one, of the recently-appointed Assistant Librarian long before her translation from the Public Library, where her genial pronouncements upon the negligible authors with whom we are accustomed to besot our spare-time fancies, and her adamant findings for tardy returns, taught us to respect her admirable quality. It is with gratification then that we see Miss Phyllis Isaacs gracing the Chair of Dignity in the Holy Place. May she long continue to grace it, to the lessening of white hairs upon a certain venerable head and a tempering of the severity born of the annually-renewed struggle for the Perfect Silence.
