1t is not always easy to distinguish
between the book for children and the
book for their elders. The picture book,
new style, is nowadays very often an
affair so artistic that even the most in
dulgent parent might be forgiven for
warning the youngsters to be careful
about 1t and for presently taking It into
his own hands. He might do this nomi-
nally for safe keeping, but actually be-
cause he, too, wanted TO look at the
pictures" Among the artists who have
recently arisen TO produce this state Of
affairs Mr.. Edmund Dulac takes high
rank. This gorgeous quarto is, of course,
TO be commended for the honor il does
to Hans Andersen. One likes TO see
those unforgettable tales of his I'm such
luxurious form, none too luxurious for
his kindly genius. But it is almost i'm
possible to read him. one is so quickly
beWitched by Mr.. Dulac. He can give

His picture for "The Snow Queen" is an
opalescent poem and the one that he
makes for "The Real Princess" is Just
so much rich prose. We cannot too
heartily commend this volume. 1t is one
of the most endearing Of the sort that
we have received in several seasons, even
from the Incompatible Mr.. Dulac.
