An attractive volume is Music in
Art by Luna May Ennis, with an in
PRODUCTION by Rev. DR.. George c. Lori
mer, the noted divine. 1t relates to mu-
sic in the arts of painting and sculp-
ture, and forms a delightful and fasci-
mating study. While the title suggests
a general survey of the relations Of the
two, no attempt has been made at ex-
haustiveness. The object is to suggest
merely an outline for further study to
the student, and to all lovers of music
and art. The subject is full of attrac-
tiveness and practically liinitIess,-for
music peryades all art, and true art is
but music made visible to the eye. The
historical order has been preserved
wherever possible, as in the Greek, Lat
in and German legends. The book is
beautifully and artistically bound and
adorned with thirty-two Illustrations
from celebrated paintings by the great
masters, and photograyure frontis-
piece. Price $3.50; the same in three
