 Watereda by tears of remembered grief,
 Men call it the Garden of Yesterday And here are scents That bring to life dead dreams
 And here are melodies haif heard

 Shall find it most by reading earnestly
 The dear remembrance of triumphant hours.

Mrs. Peattie's Painted Windows" are the stained glass pictures of memory reproduced from childhood, that time of all times when indellible color sinks into the glass. The first excursson int sin, the times when she went camping in the then really formidable wilds of northern Michigan with her old soldier father, the lingering martial spirit of the Civil war that haunted her girl hood, tho. pioneer years when the In-

 from, the atmosphere to Mrs. Peattie's sketches. They are in a sense a record and a tribute to an era in our nations 8 life and the lives of the generation
 which laid out the main travelled roads
 of life in the middle west.
 Mrs Peattie has recently left her
 busy public life in Chicago, where she
 was president of the Gordon club, the
 leading professional and business wom- ans club of the city, to come to New
 York She has, however, not given up her literary criticism on the Chicago Tribune by which she had country wide reputation. Mrs. Peattie's thesis on morality in relation to art delivered as PhisBeta Kappa address at North western university last June has caused her recently to be elected to that so- ciety.

His adventures as sea- man and later as captain of a schooner arc vividly narrated, and the account of his struggles against heavy odds is ap- pealing to the interests and sympathies and is skillfully told The lure of the fishing banks and the labors, dangers and conquests of New England fisher. men hold the attention through a wide range of activities
 No one to read the rousing adventure story, Skipper John of the Nimbus, 2 would imagine, for one moment, that the author, Raymond McFarlane, was a pro- lessor of pedagogics at an eastern col lege. And yet such is the case.
 It need hardly be explained, however, that in writing this book, which prom ises to be one of the more popular stories of the fall season, MT. McFarlane has drawn, not upon his present life for his material, but upon those earlier years, many of which were spent on the sea and in close association with those who fol- lowed it.
