A subtitle of this work designates II as a
book of verse for youth" but the limita-
ton is hardly fair for most of the poems
it contains have as much interest for
adults as for youth, being of a kind that
possess the perennial charm of true
poetry. In literature as in real life the
spirit of youth may outlast the period Of
youthfulness. and after all it is the spirit
that counts. The compilers of the volume,
Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora Archibald,
must nave been surprised TO discover what
a great number of short poems there are
by English and American authors which
strike the note that awakens a response
in young hearts with mature thought. and
in old hearts with young feelings. This
volume OF nearly 200 pages contains
poems by one hundred and seventy-ive
different authors. English and American,
and from one or two TO a dozen or fifteen
poems by each. A large majority of the
authors represented are classic or standard

RHYMES AND ROUNDELAYs.

Much graceful, light verse is contributed
TO Life, and the publishers of that period
ical have gathered the choicest bits-those
that deserve a more permanent place than
the pages of a periodical-and have placed
them in a little volume which they have
called Rhymes and Roundelays.' A large
number of writer's are represented, som of
them by several poems. but the majority
by one each. The names attached are
mostly well known TO the readers OF period
ical literature-Oliver Harford, Madeline
Bridges, Guy Wetmore Carryl, Tom Mas
son, Theodosia Garrison. Carolyn Wells,
Clinton Scotland, Frank r. Batchelder. and
so on. The collection illustrates very eff
fectively the light touch and airy grace
possessed by a host of American writer's of
verse. Here is a fragment by Mrs. Emma
Carleton. better known to the Journal read
ers as a writer of clever prose:
Loves such a fool He'll grow and thrive
On Just the simplest fare alive:
A glance, a word, a trifing touch.
VIII find his system much too much.
And Fate hath changed her leaden door
When Hope no shred OF sustenance gives.
On ghosts of Joy the blockhead lives.

From Dodd, Mead & Co. comes a
volume containing what its editors. James
L. Ford and Mary K. Ford, call "A Poetical
Epitome of the Worlds History" 1t is not
an uncommon thing TO find a volume of
poetical or prose excerpts arranged in daily
portions each headed with a date
Grating some event in history, the quota
tons, however. having no bearing what
ever upon the events so specified. Such
collections and arrangements are usually
or English origin and cause the reader to
wonder for what purpose or upon what
theory the compilations were made. This
work is quite different from those described
since the poem or poems quoted under any
given date have direct relation to the oc-
currence specified as having taken place
on that day in some past year. For ex-
ample, on Jan. /, 1868, President Lincoln
issued the emancipation proclamation.
This fact is noted under date of Jan. 1,
and Immediately following appear John G..
Whlttier's and Ralph Waldo Emerson's
poems On that profoundly significant act.
Also. and having simple relation to the first
day of the year, are poems by Campbell
Praid and H. C. Bunner.
On Jan. S, 1915. the battle Of New Orleans
was fought and under this date is Thomas
Dunn English's poem celebrating the
bravery of Andrew Jackson on that oc-
casion. Several things have happened on
May 1, among them the destruction of the
Spanish fleet by Dewey in Manila bay. and

He set the Maxims going like a hundred cracking
whips,
And every shot that cracked was a hit.
He broke 'em and he done 'em, and he didn't

one Of the characteristics of his verse, and
puts them in this respect In marked con-

To the light that shines for all.
Into a little volume entitled ''IJp From
Georgia" Mr.. Stanton has collected MANY
of his recent poems. OF the number not a
few are in dialect. but wisely he seems to
have given the preference to more digniied
verse. and these show him at his best. He
sings OF simple things. of common expert

SONGS OF TWO CENTURIES.

Will Carleton. author of this volume of
verse. explains the title by saying that the
poems were written partly in the nine
teenth and partly in the twentieth CEN
fury. He expresses the hope that his
book carries with it something of the
spirit of the century not long past. and
may aid in some measure the aspirations
of the one that is now upon US. The public
first became acquainted with Mr.. Carleton
through his Farm Ballads" productions
that caught the popular fancy and gave
the author considerable reputation. He
tells a story in rhyme with much facility,
and the characteristics of those once ia
miliar ballads. "Over the Hill TO the Poor
house" and Betsy and l Are Out are to
be found in a number OF the productions
in this volume-""The Old Christmas Din

sented, and what is amusing to one reader
may not be so to another. In fact, a vol
ume of this sort should be taken up only
In brief moments of leisure. Continuous
humor tends to convey a sense of melan-
choly, and humorous verse is at its best in
small quantities. AS a book of reference,
however, for those in search of witty or
s~atirical rhymes. dealing with many themes,
this Treasury" fills a distinct want. The
compiler notes that some of the most emf
nent of English and American poets are
singularly lacking in humorous compost
tions. Nevertheless. the range in this COM
pilation is wide, including, as it does,
writers so far apart in thought and style
as Richard Harris Barham, Robert Brown
ing, H. G. Bunner, Lewis Carroll, Ralph
Waldo Emerson. James Russell Lowell,
Samue Minturn Peck, John G. SAKE, Eu-
gene Ware, N. p. Willis and Carolyn Wells.
Some of the poems are gathered from
periodicals. being but casual productions
of the respective authors. and are here
very properly given a permanent form.
A few are unidentified as to authorship,
among them that familiar production. THE
Modern Belle" beginning:
She sits in a fashionable parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair:
She is clad in silks and satins,
And Jewels are in her hair.
Another of the unidentified is the clever

Sweetheart of Mine and 1.-The Life and

Mr.. Riley has never before permitted
the complete version of A Old Sweet
heart as used in his readings, to be pub
lished. The complete poem contains eight
cen stanzas, only eleven of which have ap-
peared in previous editions. When. last
year, the publishers gained Mr.. Riley's con-
sent for them to use the complete read
ing version, they celebrated their victory
by engaging Howard Chandler Christy to
illustrate it. Mr.. Christy has made nine
teen full-page pictures in which he has
shown the sweetheart at each success
sive stage from the child in the pink sun
bonnet and the little, checkered dress to the
wife and mother.
1t is odd that no one thought of writ
ing the life of Santa Claus until Mr.. Baum
undertook the delightful task. Perhaps the
biographers were waiting for the old gen.
tleman to die. However, Mr.. Baum has
discovered that he is immortal. The story
begins with the birth of Santa Claus and
tells of his boyhood under the care Of the
fairies. The making of the first toys
is described and the story of how Santa
Claus happened to think of making dolls is
delightfully."- told. This is one of the most
important children's books OF the year.
Over $4,000 copies have been sold within
