_The Twenty-Fourth of June_, by Grace S. Richmond. [Doubleday, Page & Co., New York.] A study of love at first sight—or just before. Rich Kendrick came into the house by the back door and saw a rose-colored scarf on the hatrack; but the poor young millionaire had to wait weeks before meeting its owner, and then months until _Midsummer’s Day_ for his answer. Incidentally he discovered the charms of work, home and good women. _Tansy_, by Tickner Edwardes. [E. P. Dutton & Co., New York.] A charming story of the Sussex downs, by a man who lives among them. The background of village characters, of rural incidents, and of the Sussex countryside is exquisitely done. Tansy Firle is not a Watteau shepherdess—quite the contrary; she has a compelling personality and a beauty of the sturdy upland variety. _La Vie des Lettres_: Collection anthologique et critique de poèmes et de proven Neuilly, Paris. The July issue of this important quarterly is both breezy and instructive. Two exotic poems by the Roumanian, Alexander Macedonski; a cycle of poems by Nicolas Beaudrien (who was introduced to English readers by Richard Aldington in the June _Egotist_); a few dainty-grotesque _Images de la Capitale_, by Carlos Larronde,—they form what I called the breezy part. Of great charm also are the “ponderous” features. Among others there is an article by William Berteval on _Tolstoi et L’Art pour L’Art_; an attempt of a modernist to justify the Russian’s point of view on art. In its international review the Quarterly mentions THE LITTLE REVIEW, with a “memento” for the poems of Nicolas Vachel Lindsay and Arthur Davison Ficke. The Reader Critic _Rev. A. D. R., Chicago_: I earnestly request you to discontinue sending your impertinent publication to my daughter who had the folly of undiscriminating youth to fall in the diabolical snare by joining the ungodly family of your subscribers. As for you, haughty young woman, may the Lord have mercy upon your sinful soul! Have you thought of the tremendous evil that your organ brings into American homes, breaking family ties, killing respect for authorities, sowing venomous seeds of Antichrist-Nietzsche-Foster, lauding such inhuman villains as Wilde and Verlaine, crowning with laurels that bloodthirsty Daughter of Babylon, Emma Goldman, and committing similar atrocities? God hear my prayer and turn your wicked heart to repentance. _A. Faun, Paris_:
