"a Book of Myths" by Jean Lang,
with twenty full-page illustrations in
color by Helen Stratton. In this col
lection of myths, not only many of the
most celebrated have been told, but
also many of the less well known
tales. In each case the author has
endeavored to give a vivid picture
that will impress the story on the
memories of young people for whom
the book is written. The aim of the
author has also been to simplify for
those who are not erudite scholars
the stories of mythology, to which
constant reference is made not only
In classic, but in modern poetry, and
to direct the attention of her readers
to poems which are not already known
to them.
The series of twenty original draw
ings in color by such a charming
artist as Miss Stratton will, 1t is

and value of the volume.
Reginald Wright Kaufman has
written a book utterly at variance in
style with its precursors. Moffat
Yard & Co. announce the early pub
lication of his novel THE Silver
Spoon, a story with the theme (com-
paratiVely unknown to fiction) of
rich man, born rich and at the same
time possessing all the virtues of sim
pier folk. 1t tells of his life in New
York, his love affairs, his JOYS and
sorrows. His youthful adventures
are wildly portrayed, while the other
incidents are of a kind so true to life
that they might have occurred in
almost any upper-Class New York
family The characters i'm the book
are in the true sense of the work pa
trician, but none the less human and
likable.

been highly developd bringing into play

fractions with weaker ones, alterations
which are composed with long rises and

by little, as is the ocular attraction of
the modern posturing ballet, and, as in
the famous statue of Mercury on tiptoe
1t is essential TO the beautiful effect OF
the picture. 1t is, however, only one
condition of graceful dancing and If it
be the main consideration the dancer will
sacrifice art to mere acrobatiCs. In the
fullest sense, dancing includes three
things-the spontaneous activity of the
muscles under some strong emotion, such
as social joy or religious exultation; def
mite combination of graceful movements
performed for the sake of pleasure which
the exercise affords to the dancer or to
the spectator; carefully trained move
ments which are meant by the dancer
vivldly to represent the actions and pas

mime dance, the dance in which Dazzle eX-

forms OF dancing have existed from the
earliest times. and in days immemorlal
even the priests danced vigorously dur

The modern ballet. however, owes its
development to the Italians. Nearly half
century before Columbus discovered
America, or, to be more precise, as early
as 1900, at Milan, in italy. dancing as an
art began to receive prominence. In
later years. under the patronage of royal
ty. pretentious efforts were made to show
pedal vrtuoslty in a variety of group

all over Europe. For many years nearly
all of the great premieres came from
Milan, and to have graduated from La
Scala was as good as q certificate of
recognition wherever the artist journeyed.
