Professor William Lyons Phelps, speaks
approvingy of Mrs. Wilcoxs best and
quotes passages winch he thinks will

The title of Mrs. wilcox's book alludes
to her personal career in this physical
world and TO her experiences In spir-
itism, to which both her husband and
herself were devoted. She gives many
quotations from her verse, beginning
with the crude but sincere efforts Of the
backwoods girl and including the more
polished and mellowed products OF her
maturity of success. The attendant cir
cumstances of the composition and pub
llcation of her celebrated Poems of Pas

works are interestingly explained. Mrs.
wilcox knew many prominent and some
eminent personages many of them in

and substance they may rightly be so

its locale the mysterious and fascinat-

Miss Stockley knows her South Africa
through and through, in both its moods
and its people. This knowledge is woven
into the four stories of this volume. She
is prodigal in invention and tropical in
her emotion and diction. Some of the
stories will cause shudders, others Will
stir the pulse, all will enthrall the
reader with their excitements, their ro-
nance and their convincing psychology
of a land that Is little more than a
