And We Have With
Us the Kewpies

Most children have already met the
"Kewpies,' those droll creations of Rose
O'Neill. Children are now afforded n
more intimate acquaintance in THE Kew
pie Kutouts." Just published by Stokes.
Miss o'Neill the artist, explains her
book. which is repleto with charmingly
colored "Kewples." which can be cut from
paper and clothed:
This tells the Kewpies latest caper,
With Kewpie dolls cut out of paper
And how a sad affair was mended
And Baby Darllng's sorrow ended
In the book Miss o'Neill recites the adj
ventures OF various children with the
''Kewpies." She advises:
when parents lean more than they ought
To harsh censorious forms of thought
To systematic growls and Erumbling,
'Tis best to do a little tumbling.
They find themselves far less sarcastic
When their habits are gymnastic."
Then we see the Kewpies and parents
doing most amazing acrobatic stunts on
horizontal bars and jumping.
The Kewples exist for the purpose OF
making people happy. They are never
satisfied unless trooping off to lSidnap a
poor little girl and take her to the coun-
try, or reforming the .scolding aunt, or
helping poor Mrs. McGraw to take care
of her children and doing the washing
Their continual broad grins and mis-
chievous eyes are irresstibly contagious
Miss O'Neill concludes truthfully:
Thanks to goodness, children bad
Are very seldom to be had.
At least, It's sure there aren't many
In fact. we don't believe there's any"

Mother Goose in
New Garments

1t has remained for Jessie WILCOX
Smith to present Mother Goose" and all
her children as they have never appeared
before. OF course, all OF you. big and
little, are familiar with Miss Smiths IL
lustrations But Miss Smith has never
been more happy than in her pictures for
the Mother Goose" book just issued by
Dodd Mead & Co.
The frontispiece. illustrating the "Hush-
ABBY baby. on the treetop, when the wind
blows the cradle will rock" reveals a
bonny infant in a crib way up among
the boughs, almost near the moon.
We learn from the historical note in the
book that the first eight Mother Goose"
tales were published In France In 1896
By Charles Perrault. Some years later
these tales reached England. There were
only 81 rhymes in the original English
edition. and as the years passed Others
crept in. In the present book there are
more than 300 rhymes that have not ap-
pesred in any volume issued before.
Miss Smiths illustrations include both
full-page color pictures and pen draw
ings. They will add a new charm to
Mother Goose" and delight the child
heart.

Tales of Heroes

As a rule books for children are writ
ten In a vein either too profound for
youthful minds or so pucrile as to make
them worthless. Frederick A. Stokes
Company, New York. has succeeded in
issuing tho first five of series of his
torlcal volumes under the general title
of Heroes of All Time" which are we'll
nigh above criticism. Well written. we'll
illustrated and wells of information"
they are worthy of serious attention on
the part of adults as we'll as children.
From a literary viewpoint the series is
above the average. Concise and interest
ing, the FIVE little volumes contain
fount of information. Anecdotes and
fables of other days are so cleverly
interviewer and so slilfully related as
to make them homogeneous part of
valuable whole.
The series consists of Alexander the
Great" by Ada RUSSELL Jeanne D'Arc,"
by L. M. Wilmot- Buxton; alfred the
Great" by A. L. McKilliam; "Slr Wal
ter Raleigh" by Beatrice MARSHALL, and
Augustus" by Rene Frances.
Either as a gift or for the more serious
purpose of education the series can be
recommended In all honesty.

CO., New York;, Joseph A. Altsheler has
written two rousng Civil War tales.

nance founded upon Stonewall Jackson's

History Dramatized
for Children

The value of drama in education is SO
thoroughly accepted now that each new
book which adds to It's literature is
eagerly accepted. The Little Plays from
American History CHenry Holt New
York; which Alice Johnstone Walker has
arranged for young folks are excellently
composed so as to give some breath of
the atmosphere of life to the scenes of
American early and middle years.
II is not so hard to make children
learn facts as some people imagine. 1t
is a much harder thing for children to
realize that ordinary people lived and
moved in the times they are reading
about Necessarily these scenes-which
arc suitable for production--follow his
torical lines rather closely. but they in
yolve ordinary human beings, quite apart
from historical personages. The first
deals with a regicide hunt In New Haven,
the second with General Howe In Rev
olutionary War escapade. and the last
with the Civil War time. in which the
figure OF Lincoln, never appearing, domi-
mates the spirit of the play.
