Gods Little Girl.

She left her home in the starry ways,
And reached our arms in the April dayS
We thought TO keep her and hold her here
And our little girl We called the dear.
One pleasant eve when the sun had dipped
out of our sight. and the stars had slipped
Silently back 10 their wouted WAYS
She turned her face with wistful gaze
Up to the blue of the arching skies:
We knew by the look in her pretty eyes
And the smile that frightened her small face So.
1t was time for Gods little girl to 60
A kiss dropped on her curly head.
Sweet little heart good by" we said,
Then unafraid tho the way was dim,
Gods little girl went back to him

Wonder Tales from Wagner by
Anna Alice Chaplin, is one of those books
intended to explain music, which have
been springng up like mushrooms in the
last few years. II is simply, what the
name indicates, the legends OH which
Wagner's operas are based. told in sim
pie and lucid language, and with re-
gard TO the use which was made of
the legends by the great German COM
poser. The book is daintily gotten up,
and illustrated with care but it is TO be
doubted whether it is of much real use.
The way to know Wagner is to study
him; and this can only be done from the
operas themselves. His works are in no
sense milk for babes, and no jugglery of
words, or primers entitled Wagner
Made Easy can ever make them so. a
Wagner primer is very much like a
Dante primer, ii may be satisfactory to
the author, and to people who have not
the brains ever to know either Wagner
or Dante, but that is all. There is no
royal road to musical knowledge. That
is why, despite the earnest efforts OF
many people, Wagner has never become
d fad to any great extent and that is
why such books as this really have no
particular excuse for being.

not belong to the real inner circle; the
book that has just enough is apt to be
worth reading, whether its discourse be
grave or gay; the book which sports an
Gnconscionable breadth of white paper
around its type is like youthful dandy
ii may be the product of talent and i'm
agination, but undeveloped. That is the
way with Fantasies" There are good
ideas in the book, but they somehow fail
to convince. There is originality, but 1t
runs away with the originator 1t is
freakish and fanciful rather than inn
aginative and true. The author ends one
of the sketches with such sentence as
this:
So Dusky head rhymed no more; and most
folks think poetry must find expression in rhyme
they dent place her amongst the poets In the land
where she lives, with men and women stumbling
wearily III the shackleS OF prose-and the tax
man calls regularly.
Now, "shackles of prose- and 'the
taX-man' in one sentence may be
original. but it is not good art, nor is
that sentence good English. There are
mixtures of old-tfme metaphor and mod
ern phrases all through the book in way
intended to be piquant, but really bizarre
and inartistic. The Mandrake Venus
IS perhaps the most forcible of the
sketches, and THE Well of Truth the
most pleasing.
