_The New Poetry_

SWORD BLADES _and_ POPPY SEED

_By_ AMY LOWELL

Author of “A DOME OF MANY-COLOURED GLASS,” Etc.

_In “The Boston Herald” Josephine Preston Peabody writes of this unusual book_:

“First, last and all inclusive in Miss Amy Lowell’s poetic equipment is vitality enough to float the work of half a score of minor poets.... Against the multitudinous array of daily verse our times produce ... this volume utters itself with a range and brilliancy wholly remarkable.... A wealth of subtleties and sympathies, gorgeously wrought, full of macabre effects (as many of the poems are) and brilliantly worked out ... personally I cannot see that Miss Lowell’s use of unrhymed vers libre has been surpassed in English. This breadth and ardor run through the whole fabric of the subject matter.... Here is the fairly Dionysiac revelry of a tireless workman. With an honesty as whole as anything in literature she hails any and all experience as stuff for poetry. The things of splendor she has made she will hardly outdo in their kind.”

_Madame Melba’s Pretty Compliment_

Before Madame Melba went abroad last June, her concert tour being over, she stepped into the factory warerooms to select a Mason & Hamlin piano for her own personal use.

She tested them herself, for she plays as well as sings. Rising from before a beautiful parlor grand, she said with all of an artist’s enthusiasm: “This is the piano for me—it’s just like my voice!” Then and there she bought one of those beautifully toned

Mason & Hamlin Pianos

ordering it sent to her home in Melbourne, Australia.

What a pretty compliment: “It’s just like my voice”—and you can easily forgive the little conceit in it, for singing tone was exactly what she was looking for, and it is exactly what Mason & Hamlin makers continually strive for—and get. If you feel that the best is none too good for you, then by all means call and hear the Mason & Hamlin, the Stradivarius of pianos.
