by Aynes J. Larkcom, author of "The Singer's Art "has just been published by Messre. Gerald Duck- worth & Co., Ltd. (1/6 nett.).

Mrs." Larkcom was a well-known Professor of Singing at the Royal Academy of Music, and the volume ends with four chapters dealing with some aspects of the special art which has been her life's work.

"This love," writes the author, "which is of all loves the purest and most intense, must in the nature of things be a source of pain as well as of delight. There is no doubt that, a loving mother does at times taste the very full- acas of bliss. For a fleeting period there seems to be feel. ing of complete unity with her little ones, that unity for which we long ed "frequently, and which eludce us to persistently. But, while the true mother-love for the helpless infant grows with, his growth and is nourished on sacri- fice and self-ñegation, the years inevitably bring ceparation.. As the years go on, the girls and boys grow in strength and vigour, while the mother weakens and fades... The sense of lone- linces encompasses her and grows "more and more insistent. Only faith and more love can'asenage, and only death can
