Below is an extract from acriticism by a
well known journalist:
1t is not always the brilliant work which
appeals to us most keenly. Sarcasm and
rhetoric have their place, but the book
that lies on the desk and is found in the
menaing basket is the book, nine times out
of ten, that deals with everyday life and
sweeps across the strings of the heart.
While Mrs. Pages work, Through Field
and Fallow," often touches the subt lemi
nor chords, it invariably swells to the tr
umphant major and rings clear and true in
sweetness Of undying hope and unquench-
able faith.
Much of Mrs, Pages work has appeared
first in our great daily newspapers, but its
life has been less ephemeral than theirs.
Here and there a woman has treasured
some bit in her scrap book; a man has
clipped verse and put it away in the
drawer of his desk marked private"
Sooner or later in this little volume the
reader will find the poem that was written
for him.
Father Ryan once wrote: "To uphft
the downcast, to sweeten any life, to feel
that we in some way have helped to light

phoenix has risen from the ashes by
Lake Michigan to fly from city to city,
wherein the plaster and stucco of the
Columbian palaces are becoming en-
during stone, says Scribner's. The
great educational institutions have
opened the way, not only with plan,
but also with realization, with colleges
in New York, and the beautiful library
OF Boston, and with the huge and mag.
nifcent pile which has arisen beside
the national capitol. But although
some of these buildings were projected
and designed before the Worlds Fair
grew into being, the latter has taught
to the people that shall visit them the
lesson of enthusiasm and appreciationi

results in common direction, Of that
interpretation which results in
harmony. Harmony was the great les.

There is a promise that the fine old

opinion on this subject rolling with
tremendous impetus. Probable con-
