I'm not a little orphan, sir, But I am just as sad, A-peakin' and a pippin' for Tne love I never had One touch of human sympathy Would melt my poultry natur' But I refrain from hope so vain, For ma's an Incubator! When first I burst my parent she How hideous the dream No " cluck, cluck," fond love to tell; No sound, alas, but steam! I felt in vain for sheltering wings Within that broiler crater, And then, in sooth, the horrid truth Ma was an incubator! Poultry Magazine. To De or Not to Be. I'd rather be a Could Be, If I cannot be an Are; For a Could Be is a May Be, With a chance of touching par. I had rather be a Has Been Than a Might Have Been, by far; For a Might Be is a Hasn't Been But a Has was once an Are! Also an Are Is Is and Am; A Was was all of these; So I'd rather be a Has Been Than a Hasn't, if you please. IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS HE TRUTH of the say ing that each year finds us a little bit ahead of the year before may be clearly seen in glancing o ve r a shelf of the beauti ful volumes which have been pro duced in the book world during the autumn months, books in which every device of the bookmakers' art, good paper, clear type, ana spienaia Dina ings, unite with the most beautiful of modern illustrations in full color. Legend, literature, the drama, the per ennially popular travel books, and fiction, both current and classic, have been made the subject of extra binding and extra illustration, and there are, as well, the books designed purely and sim ply for holiday use, consisting of collec tions of the latest artistic development of our popular illustrators. In the matter of fiction there can be no more Deautirui ana aengntiui volumes than Jane Austen's "Emma" and u Per suasion " which are the latest addition to the English Idyls series (E. P. Dutton & Co.), each volume with twenty-four illustrations in color by C. E. Brock. Brock isan artist who succeeds, more than any other one of the current illus trators, in catching the late Georgian at mosphere of the delightful English homes around which Miss Austen wove her tales. His illustrations have been compared, from the exterior pointof view, to a walk through an English rose gar den ; but he succeeds in peopling the in terior of his pre-Victorian mansions with the most delightful of personages and the most stately of late Georgian furni ture. The daintiest work of the Broth ers Adam, the most dignified sideboards of Sheraton, the most comfortable chairs of Chippendale are seen here against their natural background, used by pretty maidens and gallant gentlemen, the stur dy rustics, village gossips, country squires, and other characters of, those days. Glancing through the two dozen illustrations gives one a feeling of inti mate knowledge with the pleasantness of the life of that time that it would be difficult to acquire in any other way. Among samples of current fiction note worthy for their illustration might be mentioned Kate Douglas Wiggin's "Sus anna and Sue" with illustrations by A lice Barber Stephens and N. C. Wyeth (Houghton, Mifflin Co.), a tale of a shaker community which serves as a background for the adventures of a mother and daughter ; William Lindsey's "The Severed Mantle" illustrated in color by Arthur I. Keller (Houghton Mifflin Co.), a story of Provence in the time of the troubadours, in the later half of the Twelfth Century; and Frances Little's " Little Sister Snow" (The Cen tury Company) with illustrations by the Japanese artist, Genjiro Kataoka, a mem ber, incidentally, of the Salmagundi Club of New York, which is a modern fairy story of Japanese life setting forth the development of a Japanese girl until her marriage. This season has been unusually pro lific in the natnber of really worth while souvenir books of the recent work of pop ular artists which have become so pleasant a feature of the Christmas seasoD. First, there is "The American Girl" by Har rison Fisher (Charles- Scribner's Sons) which shows Mr. Fisher's recent work dealing especially with the well dressed and well groomed yt-ung American men and women with a sym pathetic appreciation of their dis tinctly national characteristics. The publishers have been unusually gener ous in the size of the books this year and the illustrations gfin much there by. A second book illustrated by Har rison Fisher is Frances Foster Perry's " Their Heart' Desire" (Dodd, Mead & Cc) which is a. truly sumptuous speci men of the book-makers' art. The type on each page is set in a border printed in lavender and gold. The front cover con tains an insert of a Harrison Fisher head and is embossed in gold. The story it self is in keeping with the mechanical portion of the book, being a tale of a lonely little boy and what Christmas brought to him. The fact that the present year is a centenary of the birth of Edward Fitz gerald has been made the reason for the publication of several beautiful editions of Fitzgerald's immortal translations of the "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam." Two of the best specimens of these edi tions are the one illustrated by Willy Pogany (Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.) and the one illustrated by Edmund Dulac (Hodder & Stoughton). In a matter of this kind comparisons would be invid ious. Fortunately the two volumes have been conceived in a manner which, while keeping them totally unlike each other, yet gives to each a peculiar beauty of its own. The first by Willy Pogany is a quarto of uaique treatment. The artist has drawn by hand every page, not only the initial letters and borders, but also every word of the reading text. No two pages are alike and each is lithographed in at least two colors. In addition there are twenty four full page illustrations which admir ably reflect both the spirit of the verse and the atmosphere of the East. The Dulac edition has been bound in white buckram with a cover design in gold. Each page is printed in two colors and the twenty illustrations are mounted on Japan vellum and encircled with a bor der pattern in gold. The Dulac pictures follow more the decorative manner of Elihu Vedder and are consequently en tirely different in treatment but no less charming than the interpretations of Mr. Pogany. Maxfield Parrish has prepared a series of twelve pictures to "The Arabian Nights "which have been published in book form to illustrate " The Arabian Nights ; Their Best Known Tales," ed ited by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora A. Smith (Charles Scribner's Sons). As for the work of Maxfield Parrish, it is like Massachusetts, it needs no eulogy. iyagit&y Stag I (MmmKKim!!!TS ih r - , - II Have you tried The 1909 Issue OK SCHULTZE OR NEWE. C?
