"The Winged Sandal," by Henri de Regnier, of the French Academy, is an authorized translation from the French by Mrs. Hamilton. "Mrs.

Hamilton has fairly well succeeded in recapturing the mood of the original, and has not been hindered by too strict a structure, which in this instance is preferable to accuracy. M. de Regnier is an artist of sadness of gentle melancholy, of the nude; he almost attains the cold treatment of Greek statues. He has been called by Remy de Gour-mont a melancholy and sumptuous poet. As such he has been recreated." New York Times Book Review.

Both of these books have been published in handsome limited editions, designed by Sherry Man-gan, one printed on the famous Worthy's Aurelian paper and the other on the beautiful Red Lion Texture. They are set by hand in the Lutetia types. RELIEF NOTICE Anyone having gifts of clothing for the Relief Committee kindly notify a member of the clothing committee and the clothing will be called for.
