"The Youngsters of Centerville." BY
Eta Anthony Baker. Henry Holt & Co.,
New York. Reviewed for the EVENING
STAR by boy OF IL.
Here is an interesting book for boys. 1t
is principally about four boys who, in the
story. are called the big -Four" These
boys have great times together. They play
pranks on 'the girls and very often get
.'stung,', much to their disgust and the
delight of the girls. One Halloween "the
girls got up Halloween party. OF
course 1t was a secret. But the brother Of
the hea9 girl found 1t out, and also that
they were going to meet In their barn
right after school that day This boy was
one of the big Four" and must certainly
tell the other three. So when he got to
school he told them, and said that they
must hide In the beams in the barn. After
school the "Big Four hurried home to
the barn and hid themselves in the beams,
and waited for the girls to come. Very
soon In they came. and at once began TO
talk about the Halloween party. While in
the midst of the most interesting part Of 1T
all Jack Simpsons leg became filled with
piAs and needles. After trying to reach
the spot for some time without reaching
1t, all of a sudden he Strengthened out the
leg suddenly, bringing his foot with awful
force against Bob Barker's nose, And
with an "Ow'' Bob grabbed the foot and
almost jerked poor Jack from his high
and unsteady perch. The noise and scuffie
made the girls look up suspiciously, and
they saw Jack swinging terribly from the
side of BEAM Without stopping for the
reason of this. the girls moved rapidly
away and out of the barn. Then the boys
got down, much to their disgust, though
knowing a great deal more, however, than
when they got up. Every boy should
read this book. and girls. too, because in
some parts quite bit is about girls. SO
