Her Infinite Variety.

When Brand Whitlock wrote 1.-The Thir-
tenth District" he displayed a great ia
miliarity with certain phases of political
paign In which the candidate, a weak
brother by nature. yields to the various
temptations that beset a man in his posi-
ton. and goes TO destruction. So realistic
Is IL In detail that IL has the characteristics
of a piece of clever reporting rather than
OF a work of the imagination. There is in
II no hint OF humor and its atmosphere is
rather depressing. Her Infinite Variety
Is a story entirely different in tone and
quality and shows unexpected versatility
on the part OF the author, proving him to
have not only a keen sense of humOr. but a
light touch. Politics figures in this story
too. but the chief element OF interest is
the women. of whom two of widely differ
ent types are brought into admirable con-
trast. One. TO whom the hero of the story
Is engaged. Is a pretty little fool. the other,
equally pretty and not less truly feminine,
Is a young lawyer who IS trying TO secure
the passage Of a suffrage measure through
State legislature. The hero. a member
OF this legislature, is greatly attracted by
this lady, and IL Is clever indicated that If ne
had CHANGED TO meet her before he had known
the other, she might as easily have won
him. The manner In which the suffrage
bill Is treated by the legislators is anus

American Masters of Sculpture.

No one deeply interested in American art
can afford to miss the recent books written
by Mr.. Charles II. Coffin, art editor of the
New York Sun He is one of the foremost
art critics Of the country, man of trust
worthy and informed judgment. american
Masters of Painting and Photography as
a Fine Art have already been issued. The
book In hand is clear in style and discrim-
snating~n opinion. The sculptors treated
are Saint-Gaudens, Barnard, Macmonnies,
Ward. French. Bartlett, Adams. Borglum.
Bremen, Warner and Niehaus. Separate
chapters deal with the decorative motive
and the ideal motive.
Earlier American sculpture had ten
dency towards the Italian school. towards
Rome and Florence, where American colo
MES existed The student adopted the
Canova tradition OF sweetened classicism,
or the infusion of naturalism into the
classic vein, as represented in the work
of few rOmanticists. Having learned his
craft, he remained in Italy TO practice ii,
and worked in an atmosphere of artistic
and political decadence About 1876 the

can art is summed up In this paragrap phi:

trace of the superaesthetic but more than
little of the superintelectual, a phase and
product of our infatuatiOn for words which
binds the imagination with wrappings of
borrowed thought and checks the free

is not to teach, but to make us feel; to
refine and elevate the operation of the
senses. Even as mans intellect
reaches ever further until knowledge is
merged IN speculation, SO by prOmptings of

SapphO.

Sappho. the lyrist OF all Wrists of all
time. lived about six centuries before
Christ at a period when lyric poetry was
particularly cultivated in the Greek centers
of learning. Notwithstanding other exact
ness. cemplexity extreme elaboration and
minute regularity OF the WRISTS technique,
she had 10 the fullest measure the spon-
taneity, sincerity, Imagination and fires OF
passion that make great emotional truth
as well as intellectual truth. No one has
summed UP the genius of SapphO better
than Watts-DuntOn in an essay on poetry:
Never before these songs were sung, and
never since did the human soul, in grip OF
fiery passion, utter a cry like hers; and,
from the executive point OF view, in direct
ness, In lucidity, in that high imperiOus
verbal economy which only nature can
teach the artist, she has no equal, and none
worthy to take the place of second" So
triumphant was her genius that the lost
poems OF SapphO are regarded as the most
priceless loss that the mishaps Of time
have taken from the store of literary art.
The lost writings Of Sappho consisted OF
nine books of odes, and epithalamia, cpl
grams. elegies and mOnOdies. One of the
most plausible theories advanced for their
disappearance Is that Gregory Nabian-
genus, in order that his own poetry might
be studied and the morals or the people
improved thereby, had Sappho's verse de-
stroyed by fire at Byzantuim In the year
$50 A. ID.
The volume in hand is not like Mr.. Henry
T. Wharton's volume. translation of the
remaining fragments of Sappho, but is
perilOus venture on the part of Mr.. Bliss
Carman TO reconstruct in English verse,
from his own imagination, the lost poems
OF which only fragments survive Probably
there Is no living poet better fitted TO at
tempt this feat. for no one has more OF
the DiOnySian spirit which gives TO verse
that indeffnable human bouquet which is
the essence Of refined and strong passion

woman like Sappho also approaches fear
