| THE LAND OF HEARTS DEsIRE.-This
| is little drama by w. B. Yeats, founded
| on the Irish belief in fairies. Marie Bruip,
the wife of Shawn Bruin, instead of mind
! ing the griddle or milking the cow spends
her time in reading a manuscript written
by an ancestor of her husband. For this
she is chidden by her mother-in-law, Bird
| get, and by the priest, Father Hart, on
! May eve. She expresses a wish that she
| could 60 to the land of which the manu-
script Tells, where faultfnding and trouble
are unknown and all get their hearts wish
While the family is sitting and talking in
side the house knock is heard at the dool
and Marie hands through it porringer o.
Dlilk to "a little queer old woman cloake6
| in green." Later on second knock, she
passes sod OF turf to light the pipe of al
old man dressed in the same color. BY these
actions, according to Bridget. she has pu
the house under the power of the fairies
and sure enough, in the guise OF dainty
| child, comes fairy who charms away thu
soul of Marie. The situation is imprOb
| able, but otherwise the drama is a very
credita bic piece of work. The versi sifcalloI
is excellent, and the song, 1.-The Wine
Blows Out of the Gate of the Day" is in
fused with true poetic spirit. The fol
lowing, IN spite of its materialistic tenor
is good specimen of the work:
To sit beside the BOARD and drink good wine,
And watch the turf smoke curling from the fire,
And feel content and wisdom tp your heart,
This is the best OF life. Whom we young
We long TO tread way none trod before,
But find the excellent old way through love
And through the care OF children to the hour
For bidding Fate and Time and Change good-by.
