The Mlrthfui Lyre. by arthur Gutter
man New York City Harper and
Brothers. Price 81 25 net
Whimsical lyrical verse comes from
Arthur Guitermans pen, verse with
thought clothed in music and word
rythm He puts his own quaint lnterPreta-
ton on every phase Of life, every season
Of the year and every mood Of nature. HIS
spirit has in il, both humor and fun, and
great sympathy for his fellow man. He
sees keenly every phase Of our present life,
and touches upon il deity and pOintedly
He likes what We call society. he cares as
much and maybe more for simple rural
life. he sees the great worldwide move
ments, and touches upon them with the
same spiftness and ease, that he uses for
lighter things
His poems in this three hundred page
volume are divided into sections Folks
and Things. A Few Children, TO the
Llttlest Of All, Fauna and Flora, and All
Outdoors The last two stanzas Of his
closing poem, IL 'Fnvoi" show the spirit
Of the man and the poet
High on my hills Of dream
Dear hills that know me-
And then, how fair will seem
The lands below me.
How pure, at Vesper-time,
The far bells Ginning,
God, give me hills to climb,
And strength for climbingl

Once, at symphony concert, the
writer heard man say he did not know
how TO play two notes on base drum,
but that none the less he loved music,
the music of the masters; that he en-
loved every minute of a concert, and
that he tried TO saturate himself with all
he could read or learn concerning the
divinest Of the arts for the purpose of
enjoying it still more. This man was one
of a very numerous class, unfortunate in
their inability to play any instrument
(but perhaps doubly blessed therefor. be-
cause technical knowledge too often leads
to criticism which spoils the pure pleasure
of listening, but strong and steadfast ID

II is for just these men and women, 1T
would seem, that Mr.. Downes has written
hs book He has thrown technicalit!es to
the winds and talks in d very interesting
and entertaining manner about the great
composers and their work, how they lived
and telt how their inspirations came. and
what manner Of person was concealed
behind the name they bore His own in

are reinforcing their lines TO degree
that might indicate a strong counter
movement.
Patrols sent out by the Americans
have been successful not only in re-

stragglers but among them were the
