THE MOON POOL
BYA. MERRITT
Romance, real romance, and wonderful adventure,—absolutely impossible, yet utterly probable! A story one almost regrets having read, since one can then no longer read it for the first time. Once in the proverbial blue moon there comes to the fore an author who can conceive and write such a tale. Here is one!Few indeed will forget, who, with the Professor, watch the mystic approach of the Shining One down the moon path,—who follow with him and the others the path below the Moon Pool, beyond the Door of the Seven Lights;—and would there were more characters in fiction like Lakla the lovely and Larry O'Keefe the lovable.Perhaps you readers will know who were those weird and awe-inspiring Silent Ones.

Visions and Beliefs inthe West of Ireland
ByLady Gregory
With Two Essays and Notes by W. B. Yeats
Two Volumes. 12º
To those who have felt the haunting charm that inheres in the Celtic consciousness of an imminent supernaturalism, this collection of Irish fancy, belief, and folk-lore, gathered from the lips of the people with patient and reverent care, will have particular value. It has interest as an exceptionally thorough and representative study of psychic sensitiveness in Ireland, and the slightness of the barrier between worlds seen and unseen.

The Substanceof a DreamByF. W. Bain"In this new and wholly charming Hindu story a very old world speaks to us, but one that has not lost its childhood with age and sophistication. It is a world of innocent voluptuousness where passion is not contrary to faith but is itself faith."Mr. Bain's people have character, as there are colors in moonlight, a character with a common beauty in all its diversities; and because of its utter and inner harmony, this creation of his has a very rare beauty."
