Many years ago / compiled a series OF
volumes for publisher. 1 believe there
were to have been ten in the series, but
the publisher succumbed with the issue
Of the fourth or fifth and went into bank
ruptcy. 1t was given out that he would
settle with his creditors at fifteen cents
on the dollar. l don't know about ths
other creditors. l do know, however,
that l never got my fifteen cents. 1 had
had my trouble for nothing. But in the
first place, l never knew how far my
confounded series had contributed to the
dewrfall OF the publisher. The fear that
it might have been the last straw on
biirdened back made me feel toward The
camel as the offender ana not the vic
tim. In the second place, l f0i many
years found comfort in the thought that
/ should recoup myself for all my trouble
some time in the future. And this was
the way of il. In the course of very
extensive readings to secure unhack-
neyed material fer the series, i. e., good
stuff that had passed into oblivion, 1
! found in en old ma gaZine a really excel

Traditions of FairyIand.

Folly in FGiryland," by Carolyn Wells,
is as bright as the work of this writer is
pretty sure to be, and that is saying
mr4h.
1t describes the adventures of a little
maiden named Florinda. and nicknamed
Folly, VINO went to Fairyland one Christ
mas day and saw all kinds of things In
terspersed with the rest of the text are
rhymes and jingles which will be perhaps
the most fascinating things in the book,
to the average child. There is nobody in
this country who can write nonaense
verse and better than Miss Wells, and the
verses in this book are as good as any
thing she has done. They are full of puns,
whimsical quips, and quaint conceits of
one kind or another. The book will be
delightful TO children from five to ten
years old. 1t is unfortunate. however,
that it was not better illustrated, for the
pictures are not nearly as good as the
text, and many coed opportunities for
sketches are lost. philadelphia: Henry

PERSONAL MENTION.
How Washington svvore.

Norman Hapgood's new life of Wash
ington is not without its lighter side.
The occasional vigorous profanity of the
fa ther of his country makes several dash
cs necessary in the quotations from Wash
ingtons letters. and the testimony of a
personal friend and fellow soldier is given
to the effect that at Monmouth the COM
mander-in- chief "swore till the leaves
shook on the trees" never have l en-
joyed sui swearing before or since. Sir,
on that ever memorable day he swore like
an angel from heaven" Nothing was so
likely to drive Washington to profanity as
cowardice. which he hated with all the
bitterness of q fighting man. lie once
threw an inkstand at an officer who lacked
courage When his men ran away in the
New York campaign he drew his sword
and snapped his pistol and rode So near
the enemy that his officers had to drag
him back 1t was rumored in the camp at
the tine that he threw his hat upon the
ground and exclaimed. Are these the
men with whom l am to defend America ~

American Folk Songs.

Now that "old Songs for Young Amer
lea" doubleday, Page & Coz has been
taken to the hearts of the children, and
Of some of the older people as we'll, # is
interesting to know just how it came to
be prepared. The idea came to Miss
Blanche ostertag, the Chicago artist who
made the quaint decorations for the book,
and she recently replied to an enquiry as
follows: "'Old Songs happened because
the French songs published with Boutet de
Monyels drawings suggested the Idea to
me that. unless our few folklore songs
were noted down and put into print, peo-
pie who had sung them in childhood would
forget them. and the tunes would be lost
Even this generation of children in the
large cities is Unfamiliar with many OF
the songs which ! sang and played not
more than fifteen years ago. From every
possible source the Traditions OF the songs
selected were collected, and have fur
nished the picture settings wherever 1t
was possible or advisable to use them"

rnc nnr,emin OF New york.

Under the sl,ylights," by Henry B.
Fuller, is a group of three clever little
studies of New York life. full of bright
if somewhat disjointed and exaggerated
character work. witty sayings, and the at
mosphere of bohemia. Many of the char
acters reside in large studio building or
iginalIy called The Warren but nick
named later THE Rabbit Hutch, the IN
mates quite naturally taking the name OF
the Bunnies. There is sly satire in "Ine
Downfall of Abner Joyce" a capital piece
of character work in the painter, Ignace
Prochnow. who figures in Little O'Grady
VS.. the Grindstone," and some broad farce
comedy of a kind TO delight in, when one
comes to the last story, or DIR. Gcwdy

A Mother Goose FAIRY Book

LAS the Goose Flies" is new book
written and illustrated by Katherine Pyle,
whose Christmas Angel" was justly pop
ular. 1t is charmingiy simple. and quaint
ly fanciful. and artistic in style and illus
tration from cover to cover. The heroine,
Ellen, is almost as winsome a child as
Lewis Carroli's Alice. and the adventures
into which Mother Goose's Gsndcr leads
her are nearly as queer rs those of Alice.
Many of the old fairy tales are retold
here, and there are two or three new ones.
Miss Pyle has skillfully avoided the weak
ness of grOtesque unreality on the one
hand and that of insipid commonplace on
the other. The story is likely 10 be even
more pleasing to children than its prede-
cessor Boston: Little, Brown & Coz
