The publication Of a book by a new au-
thor Is attended by SO many problems
| that publisher Is generally very eau
t1ous and economical in manufacturing
the book So convinced is the Baker &
Taylor company of the quality and future
| of Margaret P Montague's "Poet, Miss
Kate and l." that they are to issue it
| IN September In most elaborate form.
| The cover in itself Is a beautiful West
virginia cOlOrS
mounted as a medallion, and inside the
text is printed in two colors with twenty
| four illustrations, besides a. colored from
tispiece. The story itself deals most
charmingly with West Virginia girls
experience and love for a poet very diff
ferent from the conventional type Of
| poet, who goes there to die. g., ...,
Russell Sturgis has prepared the fourth
volume of the Popular Art Series, Of
which his How to Judge Architecture"
and 1.-THE Appreciation Of Sculpture"
have already been published. This book
differs from Mr.. Poore's Pictorial Com
position and the Critical Judgment Of
Pictures in the same series, in that it
| treats Of pictures critically and histori-
cally, rather than from an artists view
point. which is the manner of Mr..
PORES book.
Impressions of Japanese Architecture
4 and the Allied Arts is written by Ralph
! Adams Cram, one of the country's best
known architects, who has spent much
| time in Japan and made a speciality of
japanese architecture. The illustrations
Fare in themselves very rare and of I'M
usual attractiveness. The text under
takes to point out the genius of eastern
civilization in art, and to demonstrate
the impossbility of measuring eastern
| art by western standards.

| GRAIL SINGERS OF TODAY"
Frail singers of today, your song is sweet;
| The words that ye repeat p.
Are comely, making music they pass
| Faint as the singing glass
Rubbed by mostened finger; round and round
| Circles the rim Of sound,
| A thin yet poignant cry. But yesterday
Men sang a manlier way 49,.
Plucking rough chords Of strength from Tyres
IL too rude
| Ever to be subdued
By this slight tinkling harmony Of the hour.
| Awake, awake to power, --.e.S '.- ...r...
Singers of songs--else die. Far better mute
! Were the emasculate lutte, .
Far better silent, than thus chirping on
An echo Of things gone &c.. =,
Gone down forever with all those mighty hearts
\ Who brook no counterparts.
