Mr. Gosse who writes the introduction TOT

series of "The Century Classics" makes an apl

avoids the grand danger of this KIND OF pooh'
the archaeological episode" If this work can
be read with pleasure not simply ONCE ou'
easily second time, and, If one waits ioie
enough. perhaps a third it is because it re-
creates the spirit rather than the letter Oh the
past and is besides a good story kingsley
possessed the narrative git, he had genuine
feeling for human nature and thus "Hypatia

A WIDOW AND HER FRIENDS. Drawn by
Charles Dana Gibson. OblonS Quarto. No
Pagination. K. II. Russell
Mr.. Gibson's latest book OF drawings is the
sixth in a series uniform size, shape and bind
ing. There is less to delight. fear in the pict
ured story of "A Widow and Her Friends than
in THE Education o. Mr.. Pipp" However,
draughtsman busy Mr.. Gibson cannot be
expected TO hit every day upon an Idea so good
as that embodied in the book just mentioned,
and the volume before us is quite worthy of
the maker of 1t. The widow is conely and
graceful young person, and the steps in her
evolution into pretty nun are as humorously
conceived they cleverly drawn. There Is,
Of course. much else in this volume the series
which gives it title being followed by num-
ber of miscellaneous sketches, every other
occupying a page by itself, and some of the odd
pages also bearing cartoons of the same size.
In technique this is one of the most even and
satisfactory of Mr.. Gfbsons publications.

usual, there are several publications in which
small boys and girls lured into making
acquaintance with their letters through various
ingenious devices. In "An Alphabet of Birds"
Chicago: Jamieson-Higgins Company Ger
trude Kelley puts her descriptions of birds in
prose page and in rhyme on the other.
She follows the method in AN Alphabet
Of Wild Flowers (same publishers). and in both
books the illustrations are printed in colors.
These would make fair lesson books. "An AMI

riet d. Nelson, is amusing as to its jingles and
quite gorgeous to it's illustrations in bold

word Of praise to this. The best pages in 1.-The

neous character, the collection a whole giving
a pleasant panorama of country life. OF Mr..
Oliver Herford's sublimely funny book More

spoken in warm praise before, but We glad
to refer to it again that may have an
excuse for quoting another Of his verses:
THE SHARK.
This is the Shark, my Child, pray

Mother Goose, of course, is not forgotten this
year. In "Denslow's Mother Goose" (McClure

hshed with some prodgiously funny drawings
by Mr.. W. w. Denslow. On every other page
the design is printed on q ground OF solid color
