The title page at left was printed the following month. Title page. 3:6 (Sept. 1916).

Margaret Anderson wrote in the opening article, “A Real Magazine,” of her August 1916 (3:5) issue: “I loathe compromise, and yet I have been compromising in every issue by putting in things that were ‘almost good’ or ‘intersting enough’ or ‘important.’ There will be no more of it. If there is only one really beautiful thing for the September number it shall go in and the other pages will be left blank. Come on, all of you!”
