"The Gate of the Giant Scissors" by
Annie Fellows Johnston, is that rare
thing, a really charming and delightiri
childs story. 1t is just enough ike
fairy tale to give the little reader that
comfortable feeling that they all lived
happy ever after'-in in fact, there Is
fairy tale which takes up one whole
chapter-and still it has plenty OF human
nature in It, 1t is the story of little
American girl from the West, who IS
taken by rich cousin to spend year in
France, and who, in the first chapter, is
found sitting in n pear tree, very home
sick. In course of time, however. Sc
finds people more lonely and miserable c
than herself, and in doing kindnesses ior
them she forgets her own troub es in the
good old-fashioned way. The qua mt
French people who surround the little he
roine, the forlorn half-French. half
American orphan whom she befriends, thc
jolly little barbecue which the two cEi-
dren have on Thanksgiving Day, and the
aunt who is a sort of fairy godmCther,
are all sympathetically and skil.fdily
drawn. If some of the incidents are =
most too idylic for real life, that is no
bad fault in n child's book, and the who e
story breathes spirit SO sweet and gen
erous that 1t is thoroughly refreshing
Though the illustrations are scarcely
equal to the text, they are clever, ahd the
book is one of the prettiest Of the no iday
publications (Boston: l.. c. Page & Co.

There have been numberless books writ
ten about New England life, so different in
their subject and style that it seems as if
that section Of country must be sort of
Protean region. taking on new color with
every point Of view. The trlth of the mat
ter is that New England is in a sort of
transition stage. In the cities and towns
men move with the times. Stranded in
tiny valleys among the mountains are folk
who retain the same primitive ways and
| customs that their great -grandfathers had ;
and in the villages are people in all stages
OF progress, lntermngled with Irish
| American French Canadians Italians. and
| Poles, successive layers OF immigrants who
| have come to work in the factories, and
| graduated into the shops and the political
| rings.
The old-fashioncd New England life has
| held more or less aloof from this tide OF
| immigration, and thus ii has happened
| that odd types are developed in the vii
lagos grown poor through worn out land
and Western competition. The quaintest
and most lovable types of New England
| life and in some ways the most truthfully
| drawn. are to be found in Sara Orne Jew
etts sketches. The realism of Howells is
| philosophical, and that of Mary wilkins
| is whimsical but both these writers give
| The harder facts of New England country
and village life. Lille Chacc Wyman has
| contributed some sketches of factory towns
| TO New England literature; suburban Bos-
| ton has been handled by Agnes Blake
| Poor; but the most eccentric and outIand-
| ish characters of rural New England are
| to be found in the work of Annie Trum-
| bull Slosson.
| She seeks out the one ideaed peasant
| type and puts it on the canvas, with a
| background OF local flowers and trees. Her
men and women are hermits, if not of life,
at least OF soul; those oddities who are set
apart from their ncighbors by some fancy
| or whim or some peculiar bent of mind
| The irtrospective cast of the New England
| mind makes these characters possible
| The man or woman of no cultivation, who

Next TO this, her work is characterized by
an exquisite sensitveness TO the aspects of
nature. Familiar with the least and rar-
est of mountain blossoms and plants, she
weaves that knowledge into her romances
in way that is fascinating.
In the mountains Of New England there
comes now and then 4 day on which all
things take on an almost tropic brightness.
II seems as if the mountains, deprived by
long winters and late springs of the luxu-
RANT flowers and vines of tropical climates,
were determined to make up for eleven
months of dull gray and sober green by a
gorgeous outflaming of crimson and gold in
,, October. 1t is the distilled essence OF a
few weeks of sunshine. Such moments and
such days are rare. but this writer has a
power OF transferring their brilliance to
her pages, as background TO the equally
rare types OF character whom she draws.
The average inhabitant of New England is
not in her line. She deals with the freaks.
the exceptions, the hermits, the people on
the borderland of insanity. For that very
reason her work is worth including in New
| England literature. Her latest book is as
