Sketches From Life

LOVERS of sincere expression in the field of literary art will rejoice to learn that Emanuel Julius has just published a collection of fifty of his best short stories ans sketched under the winning title, "the Color of Life."

Some of the stories are infinitely tragic and pathetic, revealing the poignant heartaches and the deep emotions of the stricken and unfortunate who represent life's darkest color and who are seldom selected as subjects for the polite pens of the purse-writers. Other stories are prophetic with promise of human nature, portraying the finer emotions of men and women and the deep, inherent longing of humanity for the light of liberty and knowledge; this is life's brightest color--what life will be when life is what it ought to be. Then there are satirical sketches that probe under the glittering surface of the sheltered and shallow lives of parasites and reveal the reality underneath; sketches that mercilessly smash with the gentle fist of ridicule the dishonest pretensions of "our best people."

One of the sketches in "The Color of Life," ("Mr. Blackstone's Peace Editorial" is the title of this particular sketch)--exposes the hypocrisy of a spurious peace advocate and the unimportance of an important man. There is a war sketch, too, which shows how the divine instict of love triumphs over the base passion of murder in the heart of a soldier--and how this soldier's surrender to sentiment brought him punishment and death.

Emanuel Julius has viewed closely and intimately life in its varied phases; his writings are drawn from a wide and active experience which has made him a keen observer and a sympathetic interpreter of the mingled tragedy and comedy of our common humanity. Julius dips his pen into the heart of life and draws it forth colored with the crimson current of red-blooded realism. He is an artist who conscientiously devotes his art to picturing life in its true color.

A copy of "The Color of Life" will be mailed to your address upon the receipt of 50 cents by the author, Emanuel Julius, Box 135, Girard, Kansas.
