In “The woman in the rain” Mr. Stringer pictures the horror of the “huddled sins” of the unregenerate woman grown old in her vice. Among the other poems are “The passing of Aphrodite,” and “Sappho in Leucadia.”
“Both new and old verses are sincere and human in note.”

Strong, Mrs. Arthur (Eugenie Sellers). Roman sculpture: from Augustus to Constantine. (Library of art.) *$3. Scribner.
7–35388.
Based upon a series of lectures delivered at intervals during the past seven years Mrs. Strong’s work is “an exposition of the distinctive character and the evolutionary process of Roman art from the inception of the empire to the official triumph of Christianity.” (Lond. Times.)
“We have criticised this book somewhat closely because it has interested us deeply. Mrs. Strong is a vigorous critic and will not shun criticism. The book is more than a valuable addition to the literature of Roman art. It is practically the first book in this language to give a wide conspectus of the scope and aims of Roman sculpture.”
