As under the microscope tho most carefully wrought handiwork becomes Itivvcil and coarse, while the petal of a flovvir but more wonderfull reveals Its fltitness of tiltrc and the burnish of its sheen, so under the most critical Inspec tion shows Mr Allen's work as com pared with the peat mass of popular fiction Si thoroughly is lie mister ot his craft tl it it seems to be no craft at all, rather a growth, a flowering.
