The stories OF the late Maria Louise Pool are
greatly admired by many readers. and though
the author never attained the fame Of some
others who devote themselves - portrayals OF
New England life and character. IL is not too
much to say that she comes nearer TO the truth
in her pictures. in some respects. than do the
other writer's. Comparatively little has been
written about Miss Pool herself. and a biograph-
ical sketch which introduces a volume of her
short stories. published by II. s. Stone & Co
Chicago. will be welcomed by those who wish to
know something Of her personality. The volume
bears the title, "A Widower and Some Spin
sters," and the stories making up the collection
have appeared heretofore in various periodicals..
They are clever and amusing. Little Bermu-
da' is a Juvenile story by Miss Pool. and comes
from the press Of l.. c. Page * Co.. Boston II
deals with three little girls whom fate brought
together on the Island of Bermuda-two OF them
merely visitors. the other a child OF English
parents. born there. There is not much incident.
but some glimpses are given OF the island and
the manners of life there. II Is probably one Of
the early productions OF the author. perhaps
never offered by her for publication.

the sentiment Of love. for all poets have sung
OF love In one way or another. The compiler OF
sentimental verse should have had ar easy task
in making up a volume without going far aneld.
but in this collection by G. Hembert Wesley
some OF the best-known names are conspicuous
by their absence. Even Tennyson and Brown
ing. whose love lyrics are among the sweetest
and truest English literature affords. are not
quoted. OF the poems given the honor of a place
are some that might better be omitted. as. for
instance, the anonymous lines beginning:
ITO look for thee-sigh for thee-cry for thee
Under my breath:
To clasp but a shade where thy head hath laid.
Ii Is death"
But a compiler always has an ungrateful task.
since his taste is sure to conflict with that Of
some OF his readers. Mr.. Wesley might have
cuIIed more discriminatory. but he has. never
theless. gathered together many beautiful ex-
pressions OF the tender sentiment in all its
varying moods. The volume is likely to meet
the requirements OF both joyous and melancholy
young lovers who seek language other than their
own in which TO speak the love that
. . . begins with music and with song.
And ends with sorrow and with signs ere long"

The YELLOW Danger.

This is not a treatise on the yellow fever. but
a highly imaginative suppositItious account of
what might happen IL the division of the Chinese
empire should estrange all European countries.
For an insult offered to Yen How. a Chinese
doctor and diplomat. by an English girl. and
Private Brabant. Of the British army. the in

For this latitude. yesterday was an ideal
day for Thanksgiving. The day was so per-
feet that those who delight in football can
make a claim that Thanksgiving could not
have been the delightful day it was If it
were not intended for football. The day was
indeed a holiday, with a suspension of bust
ness In this city, except about the rail-
crowded with people taking advantage Of
the reduced rates. The faces of the people
told the story of the prosperous season for
all and their appreciation of a holiday. It's
like has never before been seen.

of some American girls who so abroad under

rich with Information regarding the best ways

to-day. In addition to its appreciative descrip-
tons Of works of art IL carries a pretty romance

that can be read with equal pleasure by young

Autobiography of a Child.

An autobiography devoted exclusively TO the
period of childhood is something unique In lit
erature. This one, by Hannah Lynch. an En-
glish author Of some note. begins with the day
she first walked and ends at the age OF twelve
years. 1t is either what IL purports to be. an
actual autobiography and sal "reminiscences. or
it is an excellent piece Of fiction. Internal evil
dence indicates quite clearly that IL is the
former, a noticeable feature being the authors
disagreeable and almost shuddering memories OF
a harsh mother and grandmother. The book Ii
well written. and the sketches of child life and
emotions are well drawn. but IL does not possess
much interest for the general reader. New York:

The fact that every now and then there APP
pears a new edition Of some English classic OF a
past generation is pleasing evidence that the end
less stream Of new books has not entirely swept
away all appreciation OF old ones. In the latter
class. pertaining to the realm OF purely romantic
and imaginative poetry. belongs Thomas Moore's
"Lalla Rookh." OF the poem itself nothing need
be said. as Its merits are sufficiently well un-
der stood. A new edition of 1t is published by
Dana. Estes & Co., of Boston. in a form worthy
OF the poem. The text and explanatory notes
make a volume Of 26 pages. printed on heavy
calendared paper. and beautifully illustrated. II
