Binding, odd enough,—a sort of chintz cover, flower-printed, against a smooth white back. Under the caption Old Garden, are a dozen poems, with floral titles, including an odd flower called Butter and Eggs. The next section, Nature, contains similar poems. Then come Love Songs, Poems of Life, Verses for Children. A minor chord runs through the book, though not all writ in sadness. Measures often abrupt, and sentences often incomplete, are as peculiar as the make-up of the volume. Published by Houghton, Mifflin &; Co.
