IN THE WORLD OF WRITER'S
AND OF THE BOOKMAKERS

Those who feel in most current
verse a remoteness from the actual
life oe today will welcome so charm
ing and vital a volume of poetry as
dreams and Dust" by Don Mar
quis, Just published by the Harpers
In a first book Of poems one expects
to find metrical experiments, and Mr.
Marquis volume is no exception to
the rule He has here and there
deftly shown his ability 10 try the

and greet our ears with familiar
strains.
But the most impressive Of Mr.,
MARQUIS songs are those to which
the current events of the day have
given rise-some chance item i'm the
columns of the daily press, for eX-
ample offering a motif which the poet
has seized upon and with the magic
of his art elaborated into vision and
song. Again it is some incident in
the crowded city street or the plain
annals of our prosaic commercial life
in which Mr.. Marquis. with true
poetic insight, has found a noble

the spirit of poetry is lacking i'm our
age, and that the age itself is n con-
geries of elements that are unfit sub
iect for poetry, would do well to
ponder over many of these verses.
Even so unpoetical thing as the
modern dance craze is seized upon
and dealt with in a gently satirie
way and with a grace and rhythm
which have significance. The great
war. the spirit of unrest, the child in
the factory, the political boss. and a
host of kindred subjects make this
volume intensely an outpouring of
the thinking and feeling soul of to-
day.
1t is Of the dust that we have
been speaking. Interspersed among
these poems are the dreams" in
which the lyric cry is heard N all its
poignancy and sweetness.
In short, Mr.. Marquis has shown
true poetic mastery of many moods
and many meters. Dreams and
Dust is a volume of finished and

Percy H. Epler's THE Life of Clara
Barton" Macmillan Company, now in
its second edition, was found TO be
among the best sellers in Boston for
the first weeks OF December. The i'm
preston that this biography has pro-
duced is considerable. The chief point
Of excellence, i'm the opinion of the
many critics who have praised it, is
the skill with which Mr.. Epler has
put his story together, for he has SO
constructed il that it has much the
force of an autobiography. Miss Bar
ton was a prolific and accomplished
letter writer. She kept diaries and
manuscripts of her addresses and out
of these it has been possible to make
a narrative of commanding interest in
which the little figure of the great
humanitarian is made to stand out
Vividly against a background of war
and disaster

"It seems to be deadlock" laughed
June, forcing her merriment with a
mighty effort. "You have hold of her

Isn't it just a little ridiculous, Mr..

on, just as June reached his side.
Around the corner of the house there
was nothing to be seen. The prey had
eluded them.
Just saw the crime specialist clench
his fist fiercely. His quarry had given
/ him the slip. The girl found a Won
derful eXhilaration in the fact If
Lamar had seen the smile of triumph
that lowered about her lips. his origi-
nal suspicious would have been re-
newed IL spite of visual evidence.
AS she watched him his chin sud-
! denly shot forward - his eyes
strained from their sockets, and o
| smile, cruel yet suave, dawned
around his mouth.
At the rear of the house stood a
garage. Across its freshly painted,
light gray door sprawled a blotch of
lnky black, plastered there by the
wind.
The breeze died. The black patch
fluttered and fell, hanging in limp
folds. With three bounds Lamar had
reached the garage door and was
pulling at the soft cloth. He strained
at the door, thinking it would give
under the pressure. But 1t was
locked. The woman in black had
darted into the garage and had
locked the door behind her But in
her haste she had also caught n cor
ner of the black coat in the closed
door.
When Lamar turned to June great
beads of sweat stood out on his fore
head and rolled from his temples
