over utterly baseless sorrows. There
was the fear OF death; the fear Of her
mothers death. the fear that she was
totally unworthy OF her mother. and that
her parents were pitied by their reIa-
tives for having so insignificant and
naughty child. The last is one OF the
commonest OF childish woes. and few
realize how many conscientious chill.

A ROMANCE OF THE NURSERY.

One Of the most charming OF the juve-
nile books OF the year is "A Romance
Of the Nursery" by L. Allen Harkor. It
is an English story OF the wholesome.
heartsome life Of the "Squire's" children
in a cathedral town. The romantic ele-
ment is supplied by a small visitor with
strange. unchildish but very human ways.

the child his constant companion. Fla
meta is a distinct little individuality

father" and mother" are the ideal
father and mother Of childish imagina-

There is plenty Of fun. not at all

much good character-drawing- II is SUI

the usual and fatal mistake OF writing

be called a novel OF the nursery. so

A New Bird Book.

How to Attract the Birds, by NeItie
Blanchan. is another Of the books on
ornithology which have made this
authors name known wherever bird
literature is read. To those. already
familiar with her books Il is unnecessary
TO state that it is charmingIy written
and most accurate as an authority. II

A Bangs Juvenile

"Bikey the Sklcycle," by John Ken
drick Bangs, is precisely the kind Of ju-
vonile book which one might expect that
author to write. 1t describes the adven-
lures of one Jimmieboy in various fan-
ciiul lands, beginning with a trip which
be took On a sHcyclc TO the stars. where
he rode On a bicycle track formed by one
of the rings Of Saturn. Incidentally, the
skicycle was made by attaching the cap
of the pneumatic tire or an ordinary
wheel to the gas jet. and IL Mr. Bangs
is not careful be may De called upon by
irate fathers and mothers to answer for
putting incendiary notions into juvenile
heads.
The Imp OF the Telephone" too. is
rather too suggestive for safe family
reading The average ycuugster Is quite
likely enough TO tamper with modern
inventions, without being melted 10 such
attempts by specially prepared works Of
fiction.
There is some poetry in the book. of
course. or what passes for such in Top
sy-Turveydom. IN the chapter which
describes Jimmieboy's attendance at an
animal circus there is this gem OF non
sense:
