For the first time the new poetic renais sance is considered critically and given a perspective. Taking six leading poets, each a type of one of the rends of contemporary verse, she has written a short biographical account of the man, and a critical sum mary of his work; relating him to the past, and show "ic; the steps by which he left it to create the present. "It would bo disagreeably obvious to call .Miss Lowell's prose 'poetic' Its style conceals style; its sculptural simplicity has the regnant beauty of line. . . . Always she aims at the dominant attitude of each of her poets. . . . She achieves chiselled imagery, the reflection in the mirror of words, of the clear, bright flame of immortal genius."

About Oyster Opening When Shakespeare made Pistol exclaim "The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open," he was not the first, nor the last, either, for that matter, to make a similar remark. One of the latest to set forth the advantages of the oyster-opening business Is George Matthew Adams, who has prepared a volume of short essays under the title of "Take It." "It" being the world. The burden of his song Is that thi world Is waiting Its conquerors and that whoever will may command It. In the In troduction one of his friends writes that Mr. Adams "Is a sort of football coach to the soul." The metaphor Is not better than that of Shakespeare, though It may be more modern. Those who feel that their soul, need a coach will find the book Inspiring. TAKE IT. Hucititlons as to jour rltht to tha world and In trt things that arc In It.
