WHEN l AM DEAD.

/ do not want gaping crowd,
To come with lamentations loud,
When I am dead.
Nor do l want my words and ways
Rehearsed by them with tardy praise
When life has fled.
/ only want the very few
Who stood through good, and evil too,
True friendships test.
Just those who tried to find the good,
And then, as only true friends could,
Forgave the rest.
I'd have them come, these very few,
And drop, perhaps tear or two,
By kindness led.
To have them each come in alone,
And call me in the old sweet tone,
Would suit me best.
And then, without sob or moan,
Go softly out and leave alone
The dead to rest.

GREATLY AND NICK"

kkkkkkkkkkkkk k<kkkkkhkkRf<
BEAUTY AND NICK"
A noted English Journalist and
war correspondent has again given
us a book of fiction. He places his
story in London of the present era
which is well known to him. Here
Sir Philip Gibbs is at home. In
this book we observe the same
penetrating observation, the same
intimate knowledge of human nature
and of the world that have con-
tributed so large a share to his sue
cess as a journalist. 1t is a keen
mind which shows us the interplay
of temperament upon temperament
and of character upon character.
The style We have loved in his
earlier work, clear, clesn-cut and
concise-still clothes his thot in well
fitting garments. The expression
is always adequate and suitable.
The story is concerned with the
artistic temperament of an indiv-
idual and it's effect upon her home
life and upon the lives of her hus-
band and child. Whether we like
the outcome of the story or not, we
must admit that it is absorbing.
