NOR The following, "a Winter Sunset"
is representative!
| The sea glows like an amethyst
Against the horizons scarlet rim,
And all the purple cliffs are dim,
Wrapped In veil of pearl mist.
A white gull dips with sullen scream;
The rosy light Is on his wings,
| And on the gray mist's curling rings,
And land and sea are like a dream.
And like dream the sense of rest
| That ever Sweeter, fuller grows,
| Broken by one white sail, that CLOVIS
A shadowy speck against the west.
| The book is most attractive from the
artlst1c and mechanical point of view;
| indeed, one of the fastest little volumes
that the press has put forth this year.

The Needles Eye--By Florence Morse
"The Needles Eye" is remarkable
story OF modern American life-not Of one
phase. but of many phases, widely differ
ent and in startling contrast. The scenes
alternate between country and city. The
pure, free air of the hills. and the foul,
sitting atmosphere of the slums; the
sweet breath of the clover field, and the
stencil of crowded tenements are equally
familiar to the hero in this novel. The
| other characters are found in vine-covered
palaces, and in the poorest tenements Of
the slums. Emmanuel, the hero begins
Ire as founding. and the chapters tell
hood are written with tenderness,
pathos, and an intimacy of knowledge and
description that touch the deepest sympa-
finds himself the heir of a vast fortune.
His struggle to use the wealth in relieving
the miserieS of the slums demonstrates
the truth of the declaration Of Jesus: at
eye of a needle than for rich man to
enter the kingdom Of heaven"
Many of the. situations in the novel are
exceedingly dramatic. Others sparkle
with genuine humor. The love experiences
Of Emmanuel are almost unique, and in
vo!ve some of the most interesting cpl
sodes in recent fiction. This is a story to
make people laugh, and cry, and think.
