STORIES AND BALLADS; for Young
Folks. By Ellen Tracy Alden.-
New York: American Book Ex-
change, 55 Beekman street. Price,
30 cents.
One Of the pleasantest child books
we have seen for many a day
Everything in it is good. 1t is more
than good. 1t comes down to child
life with reality that makes the
stories wholly enjoyable. 1t treats
children neither as imps nor little
angels, bat live epitomes of men and
women. Many try to write children's
books, and few succeed. Ellen Tracy
Alden has higher idea of the men,
tai powers of children than most
writer's Of juvenile works, and she
is right. Children follow the intri.
cacies of story and take in all its
leading points long in advance of the
period of life usually marked out for
them. A book for a child, in it's
language, its style, it's arguments,
should be selected with more care
even than for those who are older.
