CHAMBERS NEW STORY IS
FOR CHILDREN

The Office cynic sums up Robert W.
Chambers as yellow journalism IN
covers.' As with most. OF the obiter
dicta of ingrowing cynicism there is
more of cleverness in this judgment
than OF truth. For proof see Cham
bers' latest, Mountain Land%-an ex-
quisite little adventure along the
vague borders OF that fairyland which
children explore in the flesh and their
elders In dreams. These adventures
are two children. wanderers Of a jew
eled afternoon on a mountain OF real
ity and enchantment- They meet there
butterflies. hawks. owls. crayfish and
trout q wildcat, giant moths, squirrels
and other dwellers of the wilds. and IN
the delightful converse Of fairyland
learn the laws OF feather, fur and I'm.
One is moved here to remark how
wide is the Improvement of the books
written for the children of this genera
tion over the literature that charmed
their forebears. And among the pro-
ducts of the new school this book must
have place and precedence-a Judgment
of sober maturity that is confirmed by
the unerring taste of childhood Itself,

and redeemed only by elemental
