NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

This is a beautiful edition, in which
the author has given brief biographies
of the great painters of the world, with
engravings of their masterpieces. That
the work has been we'll done should be
said.
Works on the history of art are very
numerous, and are also, for the most
part, exceedingly dull. Mr.. Rowlands,
however has succeeded in the rare
task Of writing a book which is not
only instructive but also readable, fresh
and exhilarating. We are not given
catalogue of the names of painters and
canVasses, but are seated in the stu
dos of the great masters OF art and
behold the immortal works OF the
imagination in the process of making
Thus we become in fancy the contem-
poraries of Rubens and Titan and
Velasquez, as well as of Hogarth and
Reynolds and a score of other paint
ers represented in this work. This is
in many respects the most exquisite
and valuable gift-book of the year.
The style is both explicit and sugges-
tive, and the unusual amount OF IN
formation contained within the 274 fas-
cinating pages is never once allowed
to impede the graceful flow of the mar
rative While accurate and scholarly
it is distinctively popular and pre-
eminently suited for the holiday trade.
The illustrations are of high quail
ity. To have illustrated the book with
reproductions of well-knewn paintings
by the masters whose works are de-
scribed would have been an easy task;
a much more useful and difficult thing
has been accomplished in reproducing
famous paintings of scenes in the lives
of the painters themselves. As for in

Vinci.' from the painting by ]. A. D.

In 1.-THE Penitent," which Manager
w. E. Vaudeville is to present at the
Worcester Theatre Friday and Satur-
day nights and Saturday matinee, Hall
Game, from whose book the theme is
taken, is said to get a firmer hold upon
the play-loving people than in his other
work, THE Christian" inasmuch as
the former Is more full of the art in
terest and the passions have larger
sway than in the last. Edgar l.. Daven-
port, an actor of worth and magnetism,
will have the leading roles, essaying
the part of two brothers, the one gentle,
refined, the other rough and uncouth.
The method of handling these two
parts by this young man will be seen
to be most artistic. The other char
acters of the play will be assumed by
Leon Hail. Myles Mccarthy, David
Hanchett, Maud Claire Shaw, Minnie
Bowen, Bessie Marlowe and other
players.
Sadie Martinot's new Clyde Fitch
play, THE Marriage Came" which is
to be seen at the Worcester Theatre
Monday night, has caused more talk
than did "Sapho." the part she played
last year; but the talk has been of a
different nature and inclined toward
praise rather than censure. 1.-THE Mar
riage Game" is a sensat ional play, but
not in the way of "Sapho," and is said
to be far more healthful.

AT THE SIGN OF THE
GINGER JAR.
By Ray Clarke Rose.
"a. C. McClurg & Coz

For a number of years Mr.. Rose con-
Quoted a department on the Chicago
Record in which passing incidents and
the tendencies of the hour were COM
mented upon in clever, sparkling verse.
"Out of the Ginger Jar" was a familiar
and welcome caption to the readers Of
the Record, and this collection of Mr..
Roses best work will be appreciated
by an extended circle of admirers. He
is the third of three generations Of
poets, and cores naturally by his tall
ents. The verses in this book cover a
wide variety of subjects, and are
marked by a deft touch and a spright-
ly Imagination.

WRAPPER AND SHOES
FOUND AT MILLBURY

Lynch of so Green Street and Michael

an old wrapper and pair of shoes at
Millbury Junction Sunday afternoon.

been missing from Upton for several
days. Inquiries by The Spy at Upton
showed that Miss Carey had returned,

have a mystery on their hands.

G. S. Boutelle & Co., 256 Main Street,
have now an art store that is quite
worthy of Worcester. The subjects on

eye and stir the emotions. One fine en-
craving shows an artist painting a
cardinals portrait. The portrait rep
resents the divine with an upward
heavenly gaze, but the real cardinal
has fallen esleep in his chair with an
expression Indicative of too much wine.
The artist stands with his fingers in
his hair not knowing what to do. as
he fears to disturb the cardinals sleep.
