Books for Youthful Readers.

A book Of travel for children. entitled
"In Eastern Wonderlands," by Charlotte
Chaff ee Gibson, is made up OF the expert
ences Of three children on a journey round
the world. The story is pleasantly and
intelligently written and introduces much
of history, tradition and mythology. as well
as the modern customs and peculiarities
Of the countries visited. Special emphasis
is laid upon Japan, China, Ceylon, India
and Egypt as countries least familiar 10
the much travelled children Of the day.
The story begins with a railway journey
across the Continent, broken at Great Salt
Lake, proceeds to Honolulu, Toxic, India,
the Land Of Enchantment, Benares, Bombay,
Luxor and Karnak, and end in Italy with
promise of more to come. II is a well writ
ten and profitable little book for stay at
home students Of foreign life as well as
for those who actually visit the countries

Upper, under the title Of Hearts Tri-

gay life of the olden time when the

Famous old names are introduced to give

Much of the action TAX s place in the old

great abundance turn rose banquets into

Told or q G. irI in wales.

Fortunately for the reader who would
follow the extraordinary career OF Allen
Raine's Queen Of the Rushes," a glossary
Of Welsh idioms precedes the opening chap
ter. The words OF which it is made up
would furnish excellent material for the
Reform Spelling Board TO try It's knives
upon. @BendiRedic" for blessed and
"machgeni" for lad are vexing stumbling
blocks to trip over In the excitement Of u
climax.
The story has an unfamiliar setting in a
rural village on the sea coast Of Wales and
starts on briskly and blithely with the
drowning of a company OF reapers In sight
~ a little girl whose mother is among the
drowned. The child falls into an uncon-
scious condition, from which she is restored
to find that she has lost the power Of speech.
For obvious reasons, though the heroine
Of the book, she takes no active part in the
dialogue until toward the close Of the story,
when she loses consci BUSINESS again and
awakens to find her power OF speech as
~miraculously restored as it was taken away.
Not only does she converse fluently, but her
language is that OF the gentry and not the
dialect OF the rough farmer folk among
whom she has worked all her life. Nothing
- remarkable has been offered in fiction
since the man in the Mother Goose rhyme
Jumped into a bramble bush and scratched
out both his eyes and then jumped into
another push and scratched them in again.
The book presents a picture OF Welsh farm
ing life with the tried and se~rviceablep plot OF
the man who weds one woman while loving
another-the ward Of the household. 1t is

should, with once upon a time, many
many years ago." when the man n the
woman came into the forest to live among
the animals and birds. 1t follows them
through all their adventures. as slowly,
day by day, through the need for food,
for clothing, for shelter, the love of home
and children, the man and the woman

story is told by the animals and birds from
their own point Of view. and is well worth
the reading.
The Further Fortunes Of Pinkey Per-
kins, by Capt. Harold Hammond, L. 5. A.,
involves about the sort of adventures that
would happen TO a ~wideawake, mischief
loving and good hearted boy in the ordinary
village. That Pinkey so frequently comes
TO grief in his enterprises lend force to the
statement that his story is founded on the
actual occurrences OF the authors own
life. Most boys in books nave specially
appointed guardian angels to provide
continuous opportunities for exciting epi-
sodes and happy endings TO all their mis-
doings. Pinkey seems to be thrown on his
own ingenious resources for entertain

The industry Of Mr.. Wallace Irwin will
impress the reader even more than his
cleverness in looking over Random Rhymes

are few of the rhymes in these 800 pages
that are not reasonable" in language, in
subject and in point OF view. They would
have been unintelli gible -four years ago
and will need annotations four years hence.
They are literally the poetry Of the moment.
No doubt some one must write his and
no doubt Mr.. Irwin has done his work well.
His verse has swing and melody n his too
frequent parodies give momentary point
to his pieces. All the same. it is a pity to
see him wasting his gifts on such ephemeral
themes. But probably Mr.. Irwin feels that

Now is the time to buy and enjoy his book,

Illustrated Holiday Editions.

II was in his charming stories for children
that the late Frank r. Stockton gave fullest
rein TO his fancy. Our memory may dwell
more on the strange characters he created.
or in the amusing logical twist Of his tales,
but when he was writing for children, who
he knew could follow him, he set no check
on his imagination. Ten of his prettiest
stories will be found in The Queens Mu-
scum and Other Fanciful Tales" Charles
Scribner's Sons). a beautiful small quarto,
adorned with charming colored illustra-
tons by Frederick Richardson.

Another short love story, "A Maid in

illustrations, apparently from photographs,

unattractive. The drawing OF the horses
may be correct, but at times the pictures
are ludicrous and a trial to those who care
for the poem.
