1t is as a factor Of and an influence
IN our social life that Miss Hawthorne
undertakes to study the garden I'm the
pages of this handsome volume, but,
though she never wanders far from this
point Of view, wander she does, and 10
good purpose, for ii is only TO return to

books on the lure as well, her garden

Bacon to Hazltt and Ruskin. and from
these to Count Antoneonfs paradise in
the desert, in Hichenss Garden OF Al

secret Of garden lure in the days of our
grandmothers. whether they lived in
New England or in the more spacious
South. We have lost most of all, It's
secret of peace and restfulness, and the
repose that is willing TO plant and beau
tify for those that will come after us.
And. take notice, we shall never know
what the garden means in the intimate
life of the family, or in the adornment
of social intercourse, until we make 1t
firmly a part Of the home by inclosing 1t
with walls or hedges. There IS the gar

the race falls into two categories-that
of those who eat to live, on the one hand,
and that Of those who live to eat, on the
other A third classification might be
made for those who begin meal by
eating to live. and then reverse the
process by living to eat still more, like
the Romans of the decadence. SO Mr..
lakewood writes of gluttons. gour-
mands and gourmets. but also of as
cetics. Moreover. having dealt with
anthropophagy, he does not neglect
vegetarianism. National foods and the
prejudices against them of other ma
tons occupy his attention for a while,
and so does the problem OF the influence
Of diet upon character. He ends with a
few pages on good cheer In literature,
quoting, in conclusion, Dickens's de-
scription Of the meal which little David

waiter mostly ate, and. most appropri-
ate at this season, that unfOrgettable

age and generation in England, in the
fields OF politics and economics as well
as IN that of art. 1t is part OF his happy
manner OF making the past live again.
And he has also a neat, significant way
of summing up in a few words what
others might need pages to suggest.
Thus he says: ION stepping out OF
Crete into Homer we are leaving a ma
terial world of artists for a literary
world of heroes" and elsewhere:
Broadly speaking. we may divide mod
err reproductions of Greek music into
two classes: those that are Greek and
those that are music" Quoting Eurip-
ides's protest against the extravaganza
of the Greek cult Of athletics, he OBJ
serves dryly that "twenty-three CEN
turtles stand between this and the fan
nelled fool at the wicket, the muddied
oaf at the goal" and he adds: Il fear
that Euripides got no more attention
than Mr.. Kipling."
1t is with the Golden Age OF Greece
that his book reaches the fulness OF Its
value as an Interpretation and an infiu-
ence. His chapter on the Greek TRACE
dies and the Greek tragic dramatists Is
notably timely in this day of the de-
cidedly indiscriminate advocacy OF their
revival for the education of genera
ton that knows naught of their origins
and their meaning for the people for
whom they were written, but one can
not. In all conscience, subscribe to Mr..
Stobart's confession that he can see no
humor in Aristophanes's comedies.
Through the age of Alexander the au-
thor reaches his epilogue on the Greek
decadence. which is, in sense a prepa-
ration for his coming book on The
Grandeur That Was Rome The pres
ent one will prepare a hearty welcome
for its publication.

NEW ENGLAND IN POElRr
A Comparative Study in Ameri-
can Literature.

THE POETS NEW ENGLAND. by
Helen Archibald Clarke. illustrated
Svo. DID. 356. The Baker & Taylor Com-
pany.
Handsomely got up. printed In clear
large type on an ample page, apun-
dainty illustrated from photographs
chiefly, and with a colored frontispiece
by Mr.. George Hood that has decldeoiy
Italanate atmosphere, no doubt because
1t is in Mr.. Maxfield Parrish's manner,
this volume Is a holiday book OF the
right kind, because its contents are Oh
more than passing interest. The author
studies in succession New England
nature from the hills to the sea as II Is
pictured and mirrored in New England
poetry. and continues her studies in the
fields of the regions legendary and his
torical romance, it's history from Colo
NAL times to the War for the Union and
the abolition of slavery; its poets per-
sonal and literary friendships, and their
emotional and intellectual thought as
expressed in their works.
Holmes, Longfelow, Lowell, Whittier
and Bryant are the poets to whom the
book is of necessity entirely devoted,
and if, as a New England poet, a poet
Of the region, Bryant stands last in the
authors estimation, she does not fail to
distinguish between him and Holmes as
poets pure and simple. From the sec
tional point of view taken by her, more
over Whittier stands first. a judgment
within the indicated lines, with which
few will be inclined TO quarrel:
The closer Whittier approaches to nature,
the more personal becomes his attitude
toward it, To the picture is added spiritual
content. 1t means something more TO him
than simple beauty: but this meaning has
not the pantheistic touch such as Bryant
would give, still less is there any hint of
dynamic evolutionary force in nature such
as Emerson puts there. Nature is beaut-
full and a balm to the tired spirit Of man:
but though a creation of God, Whittier
does not in any sense identify it with the
divine.
Lowelrs appreciation Of nature, the
author holds, is more a matter OF moods;
Longfellow loved her, but was not a
close observer, and the sea spoke more
eloouently TO him than did the land
scape. Miss Clarke's analysis of Indian
legend and tradition in the work of New
Englands poets is notably well worth
while.
