 New York: Life Publishing Go. Pric,
 $3,00 The too brief career of Francis
 Gilbert Atwood has been carefully
 watched by those interested in satirica
 and humorous art, and his death at al
 early age has left a vacancy without :
 successor. MT, Attwood's best worl
 was done in recording from month tC
 month in dainty yet forceful vignettee
 the most striking events of eontempo
 raneous history. This was done with
 passing interest. Gathered together
 however, they put in attractive form
 a pictorial history of ten years of the
 worlds doings, which is most unique
 Had MT, Atwood worked on a little
 broader lines he might well have beer
 considered the John Leech of America
 As it is, his work, though less striking possesses more humor and an equal ap-
 preciation of the pictorial value of
 passing events. The present collection
 makes a luxurious book, tastefully
 bound in cloth and gold. It Is alst carefully printed on heavy paper.
