4 SOMEWHAT unusual variation
of the eternal triangle appears
in this novel. The heroine marries a
man whom she adores, but who is
brutally Indifferent to her. Half in
rique, half in thwarted craving for af-
fcction, she transfers her love to one
of her husban Is friends. He, in turn,
is sadly torn between his passionate
attachment to the woman and his sense
Of loyalty 10 his friend. To complctc
tho tangle, the husband suddenly be-
comes inspired with fondness for his
wife and struggles desperately to win
back her love. This romantic Gordian
knot is cut By the untimely death of
the friend: The heroine become :
rcconcilcd to her husband, but al
ways chorishes tender recollection of
the man who stood by her in her days
cr loneliness. The theme Is handled
!, such way as to give full satisfac-
tion to the sentimental without in any
way offending the most puritan Ical
Tho story will doubtless add to tho au-
thor's present populs rity with large
class OF readers, both in this country
end in England.

emotion"
Concerning rhyme, A Study Of
Poetry contains an excellent passae,
With the exception Of that noble in
strument. blank verse, rhymes are nor
mally absolutely essential in English
poetry, whether they snswer each
other like the faint bells Of dreamlant.
or have their resonance like great
bronze coin thrown down on marble"
The connection between rhyme and
rhythm is made clear by Professor
Perry:
Rhyme is thus form, an 'exter-
nalizing' Of rhythm It is structured
as we'll as decorative, or, rather, it is
one way Of securing structure, o.
building verse. There are other de
vices, OF course, for attaining sym
metr'cal patterns for conveying an i'm
preston of unity in variety. The par
allel' structure OF Hebrew poetry
where one idea and phrase is balanced
against another:
"'I have slain a man 70 my wound.ng--
And young man to my hurt
or the envelope structure of many of
the Psalms, where the initial phras.
or idea is repeated at the close, after
tho insertion of the illustrative ma
ter. thus securing a pattern by III.
return o. the main idea-the CLOSING
OF the curve-!nay serve to illustratn
the universality Of the principle o.
balance and contrast and repetition -
the architecture OF verse. For He
brew poetry like the poetry Of man,
primitive peoples, utilized the natura
pleasure which the ear takes in listen
ing for and perceiving again an a.
ready uttered sound. Rhyme is =
qualification Of expectation, like the
repetition of chord in music or o.
colors in q rug. 1t assists the mind
in grasping the sense-rhythm, the
design of the piece az whole"
For this reason Macaulay solemnly
and Peacock satirically asserted tha
poetry was incompatible with civil
zation. They were quite correct sc~
cording to their definition OF civiliza
ton. But the recent revival of poetr.-
is the best possible antidote to the
materialism sof the modern world
