DN T the opposite page will be seen a 

 proof of the title page of William 

 Marion Reedy 's book just issued. 

 C/Fhere are only five men in 

 America who can write as well as 

 Reedy none can write better. These are Am- 

 brose Bierce, Alfred Henry Lewis, James Hun- 

 eker, and just name the other two for yourself ! 

 C. Reedy has imagination, insight, sympathy, 

 good cheer and a sense of values as one in a 

 million. Reedy writes as he feels, and usually 

 he feels right. The thought to him is the vital 

 thing, & so he is direct, eloquent, flowing and 

 exercises a fine economy of words in his eager- 

 ness to get the thing said. C.He has a sure, 

 subtle skill in choosing exactly the right word 

 with Reedy there are no synonyms. And ev- 

 ery word casts a purple shadow. Grammar can 

 be taught in schools, but literary style is the 

 secret of God the child of the fervent spirit. 

 C. The Law of Love: being fantasies of sci- 

 ence and sentiment by William Marion Reedy. 

 Price, Two Dollars, bound in limp leather, silk- 

 lined ; a few on Japan Vellum, bound in three- 

 fourths Levant, Ten Dollars. Sent on suspicion.
