This unique little volume is charming
in its originality. We have had many
stories about dogs-dogs have even toid
their own stories-but story written by
a DOG about another dog is. something
new in the world of books. The point of
view is of interest. since we humans
have an opportunity to see ourselves and
our actions. our faults and our foibles
as they appear to an intelligent dog. Mr..
Townsend has given us an unusually
clever bit Of writing. full of light touches
OF satire. Of delicate humor and of pa
thos. To see ourselves with the eyes of
a dog shows us humans up in light
not always agreeable.

We. are honestly puzzled what verdict
to pronounce on the little volume of
verse entitled ga Gage of YOUTH by Ge
lett Burgess. If we take the verse at it's
best, we must accord it very high praise;
if we take it at its worst, we must use
terms of reorehension. One thing is GER
tain: Mr. Burgess is one of the most
skillful. of American versifiers of the

OF hissart he has indeed few equals. Look
