 Mrs. Russell believes that those beautiful islands will soon become a favorite winter playground especially of Americans. She describes the win ter climate as three and a half months of ideal summer weather from the last of December to the mid de of April, and real summer weather at that, not the sham, mid winter summer of the tourist who has his photograph taken attired in fannels and standing under a palm tree in California, Florida, or the Mediterranean, only to resume shiv- eringly his normal attire as soon as possible" According to her the Philippine Winter climate is what some one has defined as the climate of heaven, warmth without heat, and coolness without cold"
 To her surprise and intense disap- pointment after travelling many miles to see strange sights in Cagayan she found the women riding bicycles; on the streets of Cebu she heard whis- tied and sung Hello, My Baby, Hello My Honey not the latest, but dis tlnctly an American music hall im- portation and in Moro the natives pridefuIly wearing balbrlggan shirts. In fact most of the towns which the author visited on the cable ship which laid tho Pasacao-Guinayangan cable, she found regrettably lacking In "lo- cal color" Mrs. Russell gives an en- tertaining description of the journey of the cable ship, on which she was one of the few women passengers, as 1t wound in and out among the Islands , affofdlng an ever -besutiful panaroma of tropic seas and wooded or noun tainous shores end frequent opportun- ity to go ashore and observe the na- tive life As has been previously in- dicated Mrs. Russell writes well and she tells vivaciously of adventures which befell her as has been well said: She had an exciting time at a cock fight, she danced almost all night at ball given in honor of the ship at an island capital; she won back the ador-
 ing respect of a village full of native women, dlsgusted by what they believ- ed to be their discovery that only her ! face and hands were white, by show ing them that her black stockings
 would come off; she had no end of fun on Christmas day making the
 natives dive for bits of Ice thrown from the deck of the cable ship and watching their antics when they !, thought themselves burned by it."

LITTLE ME TOo,' by Julia Dalrym- pie, illustrated by Sears Gallagher pub lished by Little, Brown & Company; 75 cents.
 Little Me Too was a name given to a little boy whose real name was Sidney. and this is the way he came by such funny title: Philip was an old Ter brother and together the little boys played all the day long, Philip called his play work, so he said: I'm busy with my work all day" Sidney said, Me too' He said it so often his man. ma called him Little Me Too" The nursery in which they played must have been a wonderful room by the description as 1t was overaowing with toys and yet there seemed to be all ways room for something more. If the old broken playthings were car ried to the ash barrel Little Me Too al- ways managed to find and bring them back. These little boys were very fond of boats. They drew little boats on their blackboard and then made them out of all sorts of material. At the end of the story we find how Little Me Too became the proud owner Of a real ly truly boat which he named-but the little boys who read will find out that for themselves The mother tells these stories and the children who read them will surely wish sine had told them more of the pleasant doings of these dear little boys.

THE CRUISE OF THE MAKE BE- LIEVES," by Tom Gallon; illustrated by Ch Grunwald published by Little, Brown X Co. Boston, $1,50.
 In his new novel. entitled "The Cruise of the Make Believes, Tom Gallon the gifted English author, who sprang into fame with "Tatterly," takes for his hero rather quixotic young Englishman of wealth and so- cial position, who becomes interested in a plucly but poor London girl, and on the impulse, supplied her avarici- ous but shiftless relations with a sum of money sufficient to give her much needed holiday rest.
 The unexpected consequences of this phianthropic move forms the basis of one of the most pleasing romances of the season.
 There is a touch of real comedy and romantic sentiment and the nov elist has developed some very anus ing situations which are enjoyable even though tinged with improbable ity. The London girl in Impoverished circumstances is an attractive heroine and she makes brave effort to sup port her worthless father by keeping boarding house in East London. The girls much needed holiday Is taken in a cottage In the country which her millionaire benefactor who | Is in love with her has loaned to her father for the purpose, although l her purpose is unknown to the inpe- l cunious old sinner The latter braces up and pretends to having fallen un- expectedly into wealth. Finally a yachting party of undesirable people is wrecked on the Irish coast and their plight and hardship before f1nd- ing that they were not Robinson Crusoes on desert island but were in touch with civilization make hap py addition to the tale. The Cruise of the Make believes" Is a very clever story, sure to entertain and besides true love is happily rewarded.
