cloth, ornamental. Illustrated. 81:
Gaps aud Capers'' is genuinely
wholesome and modern story of board

general run of this sort of literature.
1t is book that young people will
read more than once. We meet very
delightful people Gaps and Capers."
The girls are happy, healthy, jolly
creatures, ready for any fun that
offers. yet willing to do their best for
their teachers, who treat the girls as
though they were rational. reasoning
beings and not lot of Irresponsible
creatures who must be watched from
morning till night lest they disgrace
themselves and those who have them
in charge. All through this charm
ing book there is plenty OF the fun
that is the result OF happy, healthy
girlhood. Mrs. Jackson writes charm
ing books for the young. leading them
through most delightful fields of inn
sgination and romance. Gaps and

The publication of Gelett Bur-
CESS poems in the little volume en-
titled "A Gage of Youth, - which is
announced by Small, Maynard & Co.. &,
will be quite likely to surprise many
people, who, remembering The
Purple Cow" and the "Goup" verses,
have thought Mr.. Burgess muse to
be the singer of the totally absurd
Only those who enjoyed The Lark"
during its brief period of song will
remem Der that MIR. Burgess gave evil
dence therein of great versatility, and
notably in poem entitled "Sestina
of Youth and Age" showed that he
was capable of writing true poetry of
real power and feeling. But it is
doubtful il even those who are famil-
lar with all of MIR. Burgess fugitive
poems have realized how wide the
range of his versatility has been.
Gathered together in small volume
of 46 poems will be found exquisite
ballades, rondeaux, pantoums, villa
nelles, chants-royal and q number of
lyrics aud ballads; humorous. ingen-
ious in thought and phrase, serious
and merry. Through all of them MIR.
Burgess individuality asserts itself,
with the cheerful optimism and buoy
ant courage which is so necessary to
real poetry.
