In Bird Legend and Life Margaret
Coulson Walker has given us some
thing different in the way of a bird
book. Many naturalists never tire
studying the ways and habits of that
Nocturnal prowler, the owl. In this book
the owl is given a commanding position
at the right of the line. The halftones
are excellent, the double tone in brown
is calculated to show at a great ad-
vantage the protective coloring Of the
fluffy brother who sits in dark places
and asks personal questions about the
identity of intruders or visitors.

MY Lady's Kiss" is a highly colored
romance of Germany in the days of
doublet and jerkin. There are lords
and ladies, deep dark dungeons, beau
tiful women in distress, draughty old
castles, cutthroats and adventures,
battle murder and sudden death. 1t Is
a rafting good story with action in
every chapter. The plot upfolds with
considerable adherence to antecedent
probability. Norman Times is a master
Of swashbuckling diction, and he not
only carries his readers back to the
land of yesterday in his atmosphere Of
romance and adventure, but seems
really to make his characters step out
of the frames where we have been ac-
customed to see them.

A collection Of 200 favorite songs for
general use in schools and homes. This
is an especially attractive volume, both
in makeup and in contents. The Sc
lections are characterized by a Yigor-
GUS and easily caught melody, and are
never complicated or involved. They
can all be sung by persons of ordinary
musical knowledge and can be played
readily by such persons on the piano
or organ In short the collection is un-
usually well adapted to stimulate a
love for good music, not by effort and
serious study, but by the simple charm
of .ne songs themselves.
