MIR. CHUPES AND MISS JENNY-The
Life Story of Two Robins by Effe Big
nell, 10 mo. Cloth. Illustrated Price
$l.OO. Publsheds: The Baker & Taylor
Company, New York.
This is a charming account of the life
in captivity Of two birds whose misfor-
tunes made them at first the involuntary
companions of humankind, and whose at
lection for their gentle guardian made
them afterwards unwilling to leave her
for life of liberty with their own kind.
From the first sentence to the last will
be detected in the author a true lover
of birds. 1t is one of the best books for
children, and for children, grown tall, for
it is not written for children alone but for
grown up people, too. that has appeared
from the press teemng with books about
animal and bird life. The able book critic
of The Nation and the New York Evening
Post gives so delightful a review of the
book that We give it below:
"Mr. Chupes and Miss Jenny despite
the unsuggestiveness of the main title,
is one of the most fascinating bits of pop
ular natural history writing we have met
with in many a day. The subtitle, The
Life Story of Two Robins, more definitely
intmates the subject. but hardly prepares
one for the great treat in store for a
sympathetic reader Whether this is due
more to the exceptional personality Of
the two captive robins or to that of the
writer, the reader will be left to decide,
oil oh Wo oToin
len that it is the haprS- combination of
bird and author. Mr.. Cnupes' is perhaps
the star actor of the combina ton, seeing
that his advent on the scene as the VIC
tim of a misadvanture is the foundation
of the superstructure of events here re-
corded Mr.. Chupes makes his debut as
a nesting that had fallen from high
tree, thereby receiving serious injuries,
which appealed to the sympathy of the
author, who became his rescuer, nurse
and friend for the five years of Mr..
Chupes's apparently happy life. She
says:
80 Now before going any further in my
recital l want to confess to you that
when | picked up that squawking little
bundle of feathers, with body and head
nearly equal in their dimensions, legs
no support whatever, and wings repre-
scented by two helpless quiIl-covered bones
folded against its sides, | had no concep-
tion Of the magnitude of the task / was
imposing my self in undertaking the
rescue. l should probably have hesitated
about accepting the charge, or perhaps
have declined altogether, had I realized
all the care. the anxiety, and the danger
to my protege involved in the RESPONSE
bility. The possession of pets
under such circumstances as / describe
means eternal vigilance as far as their
natural enemies are concerned. and
constant watchfulness against dangers
induced by unnatural conditions
I'm this connection it may be well to
quote her words on the subject of keeping
wild birds in captivity. which has excited
first and last. much warmth of discussion
g There is she remarks, really no ex-
cuse for taking bird from it's nest, al
though nestlings may learn to accommo-
date themselves to unnatural conditions,

Gentlemen of the House 1t is said y

cred on a higher plane than that Each

this question according TO the dictates Of
his own conscience and not according to
the dictates of any party caucus.
