The "Sign of the Flying Fame" (45 Roland Gardens, S.W.),
some of whose publications we have already noticed, have sent us a further collection of broadsides (2d. plain, 4d. coloured) and chap-books (6d., or hand-coloured 2s. 6d2). Among them we may mention some small books of poems by Mr. Ralph Hodgson and Mr. James Stephens, including some delightful lines addressed by the latter to a cow :—
"Cow. Cow,
I and thou Are looking at each other's eyes You are lying on the grass Eating every time I pass, And you do not seem to be Ever in perplexity : You are good, I'm sure, and not Fit for nothing but the pot : For your bearing is so kind, And your quietness so wise Cow, Cow,
I and thou Are looking at each other's eyes."
The striking illustrations to these publications are in every case from the blocks of Mr. Lovat Fraser.
