English Pronunciation.

1.-THE Standard of Pronunciation in
English" by Thomas r. Lounsberry,
professor of English literature at Yale
University. is a collection OF several
essays which have already appeared in
periodicals.. The upshOt OF Prof. Louns-
berry's argument Is that there IS no
standard of pronunciation IN English.
However. he makes clear the reasons
which have governed changes OF pro-
nunefa ton in the past, and shows the
difference between vulgar accents and
those which are merely archaic. If he
had only added an appendix containlne
a list of recommendations which are quite
inadmissible in polite society. the book

A Psychological Story.

Violet" is a new book by the
Baroness Won Hutton. which is rather
a psychological study than a novel,
though the narrative is OF absorb
ing interest The hero is youth
whose father was hanged, and who
is made to suffer in all human re-
lations because of this fact In addi-
ton TO his tragic inheritance the boy
has musical genius. and an intensely
| religious nature. The combination Of
striking situation. original character,
and vivid descriptive passages produce
a weird and pathetically fascinating bit
of literature
The popularity in Violetts character
which sticks longest in the mind of the
reader is his faculty for hearing musi-
cal sound as color. This notion owes its
value to recognition of the real connec-
! ton between the underlying laws of all
forms OF beauty. One out OF the many
episodes of the boys childhood is this:
The westering sun came in at the
long windows. painting strange, creep
ing shadows on the old oak floor, draw
| ing wonderful tints from the faded
satin Of the furniture. and spinning,
like great golden spider, splendid
web of reality and imagination over the
! lovely. deIicately faded room.
And Violet his thin legs hanging
down from the stool, his head thrown
back, let his hands lie on the piano,
while it sang to him. This is what ii
seemed to the boy. And always every
time. the Song of the Sea came and
was listened to reverently, for was II
not the first song that had come TO him
Years after. Rose Carstairs wrote to a
friend a description of one Of these aft
ernoons. His face was to me the most
beautiful thing In the world. while he
played. His mouth, always innocently
plaintive, had then something like the
shadow of a smile on il; and his big
eyes. half closed, were homes of melody.
About the color theory, l do not know
what TO say. It is for me nonsense.
but 1t is a divine nonsense" as poor
Mouchett used TO say: and Violet be-
lieved in 1t as you and 1 do in the
Gospel. He thought he could hear color.
and, however that may be, 1t is certain
that his serse Of hearing was marvel
ously acute And even in those days I
could half believe that the piano did, as
he seriously insisted tell him things:
only he should have said, sang him
things"-for it sang under his little
brown hands IN a most wonderful
way"
The cocknsy element in the book which
makes the background for the poetic fig-
ure of the lonely boy Is very effective,
In fact so realistic that il gets on ones
nerves. AS a whole. the story has all the
delicacy and charm Of our Lady of the
Beeches," with greater depth and sig
nificance. Boston: Houghton, Mifin &
