REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



because it has been liaunted. 

 Daphne Heriot is quite sure that 

 the two lovers Avhose wraiths are 

 so frequently visible have some 

 sad secret to tell, which makes 

 them haunt the scenes of a for- 

 mer life, and resolves to help 

 them if this can possibly be done. 

 In telling the story she gives a 

 large amount of information 

 about the reasons for psychic 

 phenomena, so that, though full 

 of incident, the story is not a 

 light one, and demands a thought- 

 ful reader.

 'I'he story of Helen of Troy pro- 

 vides an apparently inexhaustible 

 theme, and in this volume still 

 aiu)ther version occupies pride 

 of place. Maurice Hewlett 

 whether he writes about present, 

 inediieval, or ancient history, in- 

 t^^-rprets in his inimitable way the 

 passions and emotions which have 

 swayed the destinies of mankind 

 since the world began. Music it-

 more attention than usual to the

BEAUTIFUL BOOK 

 ALL ABOUT IT." 



TO ALL. Tells about PEACH'S 

 Patent Hem Curtains. Quite New 

 & different. Ideal for Casements. 



The (greatest problem which confronted nie when I was furnishing my 

 home, was how to 'iress the windows in the most attractive fashion oo 

 an economical basis. I must confess that 1 was considerably perplexed, 

 until I wrote to Peach's for their book— "Ideal Home Decorations " — 

 which is devoted almost entirely to window curtains and decorations It 

 ■ontained 650 of the most charming! desit^ns possible to imagine, showing 

 low the most unattractive windows could be made pretty and invitinu. 



It is the only book produced which tells of Peach's Special Patent Hems& 

 Sunfast Fabrics. Th' se in themselves are worth a volume of description, 



CHARMING IDEAS. 



In particular was I most im- 

 pressed by the charming ideas 

 for casement window dec ra- 

 tion. The casement curtains 

 here were really delightful, and 

 I could conceive the most ei- 

 quisite eflects from both the in- 

 side and outside points of view. 



There were suggestions for the 

 decoration of casement windows 

 from which could be evolved 

 endless varieties of ideas which 

 raised them to a level far above

These suggestions rot only embodied the actual size and number of the 



curtains required, hut it was possible to see at a glance now just how much 

 each window wnuld cot, and then by r- ference to the designs conl.iined

SUPERB ILLUSTRATIONS. 



The illustrations were superb, and the designs were far and away supe- 

 rior to those usually obtained in a shop Nowhere is it po^silile <.'■ obtain 

 curtains of such exquisite taste or of equ.il 

 artistic virtue, and the manner in which 

 Messrs. Samuel Peach and Sons illustrated 

 how the windows could be decorated with 

 their curtains to the best advantage, was 

 wonderful. 



A pla'n fact also to the most casual observer 

 was the astonishingly moderate prices of the 

 productions from this famous loom.

PEACH'S lOOM PRICES 

 25! CHEAPEK. 



Here were beautiful designs of curtains, 

 d-signs exclusive to Messrs. Sainiiei Peach 

 aiid Sons, the actual makers which were at 

 least 25 per Cent, cheaper than one usually 

 pays for the m^st ordinary curtains, yet they 

 were infinitely superior in quality to the shop 

 Roods. This is simply because Peach's are 

 the actual makers supplying direct to the users and have a big reputation.
