POEMS WORTHY OF CONSEDERATION.—Poons. By Gilbert Thorne. (Humphreys. 4s. 6d.
net.)—Mr. Gilbert should beware of such words as " gonfalon " and " forthright." " Hymn to Aphrodite," " Heart's Refuge," and " On Heigham Sound " are the best poems in the book.—Thames and Godavery. By Oswald Cauldrey. (Blackwell. 5s. net.)—Some of the poems, written in India, have a pleasing local colour.—Little Wings. By Vivienne Dayrell. (Same publisher and price.)—Poems by a child of fifteen. Not perhaps intrinsically remarkable.

(Allan and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—Pretty alight verses.
• Tragic Mothers. By T. /Harp Moore. London : Grant Richards. [6s. net.]
