BOOK CHAT

THE Yoke OF Silence" by Amy
McLaren. Rich like Bawbee Jack
in human quality and emotional ap-
peal, and impressive by its conyinc-
ing mastery OF the essential traits
of Scotch character, THE Yoke Of
Silence" has In addition a dramatic
power more surely directed to an eff
fective denouement. In its pages
the whole gamut of human emotions
is gone through. from shattered
faith and hasty distrust to latent
confidence, on to deep and abiding
trust In the unchanging continuance
of love. The characters are essen
TALLY likeable. Such misunderstand-
ings and doubts as arise between
them are the result not Of perversity
of nature but OF an unusually faith
full adherence to ideals that the aver
age man and woman rarely pursue
and that therefore, from their very
strangeness, mystify and perplex.

Of Texas, whose volume of cowboy
ballads has become practically the
official guide to those little known
songs, has prepared new volume to
be known as plantation Ballads"
which will be published by Double
day, Page & Co.
These songs will be real Negro
folk songs that have been handed
down from generation to generation
since he earliest slave times. Both
words and music will be given.
There have been many publications
of Negro ballads, but they usually
have been brought up to the stand
ard Of literary merit that the COM
piler considered appropriate. This
volume will contain the weird melo-
dies and strange superstitions ex-
actly as they have been sung on
thousands of plantations for scores
of years.
