The recent publication OF n beautiful
Illustrated collection of Ben Kings
poems under the above title recalls
the memory OF this many-talentcd
scnius ana tho history OF his fame,
undue IN lltcrary annals. In life Ben
King was az original as his verge. He
was universally loved for his genial
nature and his versatile accompIish-
rncnts. Recently the citizens OF his
native city In Michigan placed a. monu-
ment over his grave. and are now
planning for the erection of a monu-
ment to him In the public park OF the
city.
Every poem in Jane Jones and

originality. In his whimsical poems
there is a spontaneous, droll humor,
and in his more serious lines either a
auairtness or a musical Tilt that places
Ben King beyond classification or
comparison with other poets.

giving his Wife a new hat and taking
her with him on a vacation trip. The
head of the recent Yale expedition to
Palestine veriles the Bible story of
Sodom and sGomorrah, which has been

Among all the generous tributes
which have been paid to Arnold Ben
nett's THE Old Wives Tale. there Is
one yet remaining-the tribute to his
humor. 1t has been granted that he
has an extraordinarily keen faculty OF
observation. a knowledge of the
feminine nature which is so acute as
to be itself almost feminine. a mas
terly narrative style mot unworthy
of the combined NANTES Of william De
Morgan n William J. Locke" But
the secret OF his popular success seems
not to lie in these, but In his quiet
power to max the reader smile. Per-
haps 1t is the very quietness of this
thumor which has caused 1t to be over
looked: 1t Is found rather in the ac-
lions of his characters, and as a gem
eral atmosphere of whimsicality which
spreads itself throughout the book,
than in any particular phrase or say
ing which is quotable. AS regards his
humor in misunderstanding, a good
example is discovered In Mr.. Povey's
first expression of his emancipation
when his mother-in-law, Mrs. Baines,
has vacated and left him master of
the shop. What does he do? He buys
