1.-THE Song OF the Wave" by George Cabot
Lodge. is a collection of poems, the most
ambitious Of which is the one which gives
its name TO the book. The style of the
writer is a sort of mixture of Swinburne
and Browning. He has the trick, common
to both these immortals. OF using here and
there very uncommon words to express his
meaning; and when he does not do this,
he uses common words in a peculiar way
We find in his work such phrases as re
vertebrate gold. the marginal sea" the
lisp OF spray" and such words as ger
minal ichor, "suspires, " "increate" and
so on. Here and there he uses a Swim
burnian metre, with nearly the voIuptu-
GUS rhythmical charm OF Swnburne and
in one place, at least. he has borrowed q
metre from Browning-.the metre OF that
matchless love poem, One Word More. .
It may be. Of course. that Mr. Lodge has
not read One Word More or was not
thinking of it when he wrote After
Word, 20 but If not, the latter poem is re-
mariSable instance Of an unusual form
chosen by two men to express much the
same idea. In Browning the notion was
definite. splendid. great in Mr.. Lodge it
is rather vague and fOrmless; the poem is
question throughout There are fine
thoughts in it, however. and one is ex-
pressed in the fourth stanza:
Ah. there's still SONG men strive 10 sing IT,
Sing their striving. reach their goal, silent
What's the sonGt No uttcrancc can coulnc it,
oniy silence great enough 10 bear ii.
Could ! call the winds and waves to witness
Could ! pull the stars down from their courses
Were / ioH-yoioed old Jehovah,
Then my words could be but -hadowy symbols:
None may praise tie spirits simple knowledge
And the secret and the revelation
OF what is not, where the mind Of mortal
Turns To ashes, and where life is tacit.
Here Mr. Lodge attempts an almost i'm
possible task--to seize the impalpable, in
tangible meaning and essence OF life and
body it forth in verse. He has grasped the
difference between the spiritual and the
material, between thought and action; anC
this song is the endcavor of the lover t.

OF the spirit which are beyond the reacl
of words. The poem concludes after thi:
J fashion.

William l. Alden, in the New York
Times, advances the theory that Andrew
Lang is not an individual, but syndicate
"a collection of individuals all writing
under the same name. His reason for this
theory is that Mr.. Lang is constantly de-
nying remarks attributed to him, and
sometimes to be found in newspaper let
tiers signed with his name. 1t seems not to
have occurred to Mr.. Alden that Lang is
not such very uncommon name in Scot
land and that Andrew is even more COM
mon. Perhaps somebody with the same
name as Mr.. Lang has been making all the
trouble.

OBJECT TO SUNDAY TEAS.
New York Woman's Musical Novelty
Falls Into Disfavor.

New York, Feb. ga perplexed won-
Rutherford place. Mrs. Osborn gave
musical tea" Sunday at the Waldorf
Astoria The attendance was large and
fashionable. She frankly admits that
she gave it because she needs money,
and she thought it a worthy and honor
able way in which to make it. She still
thinks the same, but she has been given
such an overwhelming and unexpected
hammering by persons who think other
wise that she is greatly perturbed.
The first blow was at least honest
and straightforward. 1t was a letter
signed by Mrs. Darwin r. James, pres
ident, and Miss Matilda Kay, secre-
tary, of the Woman's National Sabbath
alliance, and it announced that the
members of the alliance would pray
that the musical tea might be fail
ure, even while that function was
going on.
The postman came again and again,
bringing huge bundles of letters for
Mrs. Osborn. And every one of these
letters was anonymous. She was
warned to stop her Sunday entertain
ments which, writers said, were imper-
Hing the souls of listeners. Then came
and covered with references to scrip
ture texts.
IT do not think 1t Christian like to
write anonymous letters" said Mrs. Os-
born. 81 wish these persons had signed
their names. I would like to write to
some of them"
In spite of the warnings of eternal
discomfort, Mrs. Osborn will give an
other musical tea next Sunday, and Sa-
cred music will be interpreted.
