A keen perception of beauty has not distorted a necessary faithfulness to subject-matter; and those who still admire the flowers of past ages will find them here, still fragrant.

If the Thousand and One Days are not such splendid stories as The Thousand and One Nights, what stories in the world are so splendid?

17 Amatory. For a Night. By Emile Zola. Translated by Alison M. Lederer. 8vo. cloth. Phila., 1911. =$1.00=

The imaginative realism, the poetic psychology, of this story of the abnormal Therese who kills her lover; of the simple-minded Julien who becomes an accessory after the act for love of her, and finally "let himself fall" into the river, having first dropped the body of Colombel over, are gripping and intense.

This volume contains two other typical Zola stories: The Maid of the Dawber and Complements--two delightful, crisp bits of literature.

22 Amatory. Two Deaths in the Bronx. By Donald Evans. 8vo. boards, antique wove paper. Philadelphia, 1918. =$1.50=

The modernism, mistakenly called Futurism, that in the Sonnets from the Patagonian sometimes merely amazed, in the present instance, stimulates and satisfies. The volume is a series of pitiless photographs of profligate men and women who fritter away life, seeking new pleasures, new sensations. It is a gallery of incurable poseurs. A curious little volume.
