Such, however, is not the case. Though several of the selections have a bearing on the war most of them are of - a mors universal application, having to do with the fields of peace rad the pleasant paths Into which faith, confidence, hope and love will toad our sometimes faltering feet. There is to practically afi of the poems a religious trend of thought and a reverent attitude. These, combined with Optimism and an appealing appreciation of the beautiful, give to ' the versts a wbolesomenees and charm that make enjoyable reading. From a purely literary point of view, also, the poems are meritorious. They exhibit an excellent workmanship, with effective and pleasing diction and a bounteous supply of poetic imagination. Thera are about sixty poems to the volume and they are divided Into three groups; Miscellaneous; sonnets, "In Eternal Memory, and "Ballads and Songs of tbe Southland." The last named indicate unmistakably that the author Is a loyal daughter of the south, with all its historic memories tVS more and traditions.
