O, pussie, dear. we welcome you foi
 spring is here!

o, pussie, dear, we welcome you for
 spring is here!
 Deep blue is the sky. with snow-white
 clouds,
 The yellow beams fichted near.
 And light up the willows!
 The plump pussy willowst The branches wave, the blue-bird trills
 that spring is here -. o, this is the sweetest time of the year, When flowers wake and carols tell that
 spring is here"
 The verse with quaint illustration is printed upon a page, the music IS printed on opposite page. The other songs sure to be dear to baby hearts and sweet on baby lips are: The Roos- ter and the Boy" Tn the Wood Bird is Singing" Song of the organ grinder" Marching Song" The Lost Lambs. Milling Song" 'Lullably."
 Quite the most fetching of the illus trations are the eight little folks of the Marching Song" Each is decked with some insignia of childhoods joy play. The leader wears the battered stove-pipe hat, dear to boys at play, a false and fierce mustache and roll ing drum is hung over his shoulder.
  a sofa pillow A footing horn is his chief delight The girl in blue carries a flag The girl In pink floats a green balloon by string The boy with sword, Sir Furioso's paste-board weap- on! wears epaulets of great gold and bronze sunfiowers, deserved decora- tion tolyouthful prowess, certainly won in the held A wee ladf In plaids with red rose plait of hair wears Mama's plun1ey bonnet and waves a crimson fan. The lassie in blue polka dots car ries a long stemmed sunfiower across her shoulder. The baby brings up the rear, dragging Pussie in toy cart.
 The drawing of the tiny sketches in black and white Is better than that Of the more ambitious colored pieces; all show lack of perfect skill and finish But as a whole the book with its gay attiring of green and red makes a charming little Baby Song Book. Baby and Kitty together safe in Shut Eye Town make the dear drowsy tail piece The Lullaby fittingly ends the volume:
 "The little birds are sleeping in their nests hung so high: The soft wind rocks them gently with a sweet lullaby,
 o. sleep, little one! o, sleep, drowsy one!
 My little baby must follow where the girdlings go!
 The fresh fields bloom for my darling tonight;
 The dreamland fairies sigh for little footsteps so light;
 o, sleep, little one! O sleep, drowsy one! t My little babe must follow where the babies go!
 Is New York q. Good PInce to Live fin : 'Ts New York a good place to live in?" asked a correspondent of liar pers Weekly For some purposes. re- plies the Weekly editorially. yes; but it Malihes it's recommendations as fol- l lows Manhattan Island is over l crowded, and all the nearby suburb have defects. It is a good place to work in. its atmosphere, mental and physical. is stimulating, and it's op- portunities abundant. Well-to-do peo- | pie manage to make themselves pretty | comfortable in New York while they are here, but rich and poor plan 10 pc away from town as much of the year | as they can But all things considereo' we must say yes to our 'correspon. . dents questions. It may be argued that taste for New York Is like the taste for gin. easier to acquire Una" to cure"
