Neither in "Main Street" nor in "Hnbbitt' has be in dicated thnt there is anvtlilng that is te tie desired. A Freudian might s;V that he is a man who lias vainly sought for enduring s-ntisfactiens, and bus de cided thnt they are net te be found.

Hilda ('enl.'llncr. timfnfnp ivlm nnhlislicd n ! ,,mit. 0f verse, "Poems hy n Little (!itl," two years age, demonstrated that sue unci tne nbiuty te put in wents hip thoughts within her. Slic has demon st rated it once mere in "Songs of the Wind" (Frederick A. Stokes Cem-, pany), n velume containing about 150 pieces of orse each of which records a I pcetlc mood. i Slie is only nbetit twelve jears old, se slie rnnuat be expected te hiive great, facility with rhyme anil meter. She htw used the free veruc form that puts no bartler between her thought and Its ex pression. If she were elder nnd mere sophisticated she might he classed niiiiiu (lie lmnglsts and symbolists, but ns her poems are the spontaneous 'out- burst of her imagination, it would be unjust te classify her ns anything but an unusually gifted child writing down what is in her. Yet Amy Lewell or II. I), might have written "Lilacs," which inns in this way : After tlie lllncs coma out 'llm n'r loves te flew nhnut them Tlie way vatir la woeil-strcams "lnivn nnd levi and wanders, T thlnlc the wind tins a mdnens l.ifitns' cither lonei, ether HPriys 1 think tlie wind la n. llttle nctttnh At out llincn when thev (lower Her Imagery Is that of a fresh mind looking at the world. She says of the stars that "their twinkling is like the twittering of many birds in the early morning." Again she says in n poem en "F.nrh Morning," that "the blue sky coming opened its eyes te the sun," nnd explains that "this isn picture poem, but it Is my thoughts, loe!" Yet again, she writes that "a breeze will come Hying with a harp around its neck." This is the xcry essence of poetry nnd It suggests that thu great poets nre but men ami women who have retained their child beans and have net lest all mem mem er.v of that land from which they tunit In Infancy, "trailing clouds of glory." Amy Lewell hns called Hilda a genius. That may be true, but these who have been in the confidence of children and have listened te their Imaginings will be likely te insist that her gift cclislsls almost entirely in tlw ability te write down what passes through her mind r.ithrr than in the ability te think tic thrigs which she writes. If she (an retail her freshness of islnn ns sne grows in years, she will write some vcrsp of surpassing bcaut before she Is tweniy.
