"Bayou Trlste." by Josephine Hamilton
Nichols, Is a charming story of southern
life. The author Is the daughter of Chief
Justice, Nlcholls of the Louisiana supreme
court and Is thoroughly fsmlllar with her
subject. The negro characters are evi
dently drawn from life, there being noth
ing of the traditional negro of Action about
the group of old family servants that hold
the readers attention from first to last.
The time of the narrative Is since the war,
the scene being laid at Boutbmeade planta
tion, on Bayou Trlste, near the creole Til
lage or vieuxtemps, and deala with the
presents. In a brief and concise manner,
much knowledge of benefit to laymen and
professionals. The business man may read
ily perceive the seeming intent of an appll
cant for . position; also how his patron,
betray themselves In drawing checks and
notes at hand, carefully. Indifferently, or
too precise. To women this volume Is more
than a pastime, in every particular, a serl-
Hucm ni-n receiving a letter from
friend or an adorer, whether ha or she Is
true or consumed with Jealousy. Published

following:
Yesterday I stood behind your chair
When you was kind of bendln' down to
write.
And I rould see your neck, so soft and
And notfc where the poker singed your
hair,
And then you looked around and seen me
there,
And kind of smiled, and I could seem to

A sudden emntr. alnklsh feelln' where
I'm all filled up when I've Just e't a meal.
Dear Frankle, where your soft, sweet fin
gertips
Hit on the keys. T often touch my lips.
And wunst I klmed your little overshoe,
And I nave got a nairpin tnat you wore
One day I found It on the office floor
I'd throw my Job up If they fired you.

with a happy smile, a small package and,
"Father, this Is for you." Turning to a
table laden with gifts, Drst wire, tnen
brother, then others, each made their gift,
accompanied by a dainty, "This Is for you."
It occurred to this bookish man there was
aolna a begging one of tbe beat titles for a
universal gift book that bad as yet re

went alwaya a token of affection, and so
a book bearing such a title must breathe a
message of love. Published by Fleming
