From Somewhere in France" Tom
has written to the girl he left behind
him-for her letter telling him that
there was little War Baby coming
into the world had, by some lucky
chance, reached him in the trenches.
His letter in answer and his sig
nature had been formally witnessed
by a junior lieutenant.
But there are other Toms" fight
ing in the trenches who do not write
back-thousands of them who will
never come back-because they have
been piled into shallow graves
Somewhere in France" or Belgium.
And meanwhile England is about to
be invaded by an army of unknown
size. An army of war Babies
and already England is terrified at
the prospect. Here is the truth about
the situation.
War babies? Yes, and they are
going to occupy a prominent position
in the social problem of the near fu-
ture," declared the founder of the
War Babies league, as she seated
herself to another days work.
l sat near by, a neutral, taking
notes. For pharisical England We
hemently protests the very existence
of the War Baby.
County councils confess in vain
that the total number of illegitimate
children shortly to be born is very
many thousands.

arriving army, knows 200 expectant
mothers in one Sussex village, 400 in

where there are over 1000 cases.
And this is not exceptional.
"Al over England, where large en-
campments have been, great num-
Der of unmarried girls will, within the
next few weeks, become mothers"
But tell you the War Baby is
fraud" protested the typical West
End lady of fashion. Last year she
was dancing the tango, next month
she may be nursing for the Red
Cross. Just now she is trying to find
herself. =
Il simply will not believe in the
mythical War Baby. Mobilization and
enlistment on a large scale did not
take place until Observation-Disclosures.
This is May. The Great Baby Rumor
is a legend. Still" her troubled
glance wavered to her purse. "StiIl,
in case there should be something in
it" She laid $25 upon the table.

sat, an unofficial committee of three,
to consider a problem more import
ant to the England of tomorrow than
the long threatened German inva-
sion.
"The War Baby and its mother
cannot be dealt with under hard and
fast rules" unused the founder of the
league. ''The mothers of our SOL

to pose as heroines, neither can they
be treated with scorn and dishonor."

THE ROSE OF YOUTH By Einor Mordsunt
l2mo. ID. 35l. John Lans Company.
There Is a great deal Of the poetry
Of life In this new story by an author
who is increasingly claiming our at
tention, and a great deal Of the hard
facts Of life as the poor OF London
learn its lessons. The cockney hero, a
draper's assistant, who olives in," pre-
serves amid all the cramping, spirit
killing horrors OF the system his vision
by that happy gift, not rare in youth,
Of Withdrawing from the realities OF
his fate and living a fsnciful existence
In another sphere peopled with the
romance Of other days and the thoughts
Of the great singers Of his race. He
is, indeed, kin to the cockney boy Of
Kipling's Greatest Story in the World" "
o Mister Polly to whom gorgeous words
suggest gorgeous images Of a wider,
freer existencs filed with adventure
and beauty.
To this youth the London of cock
neydom is the broad highway Of nd
venture. He creates il for himself,
others help him, and in the end, face 70
face with the choice between well-
meaning Philistinism, a marriage with
the heiress who owns the shop, and
real danger and daring in gun run
ming exploit TO insurgent Albania, he
does not hesitate.
Side by side with this young victor
there are the pale, languishing victims
In the submerged soil OF London, cock
ney girls and boys and failures at the
end Of their days. the pitiful process
sion Of the slaves Of a ruthless eco
nomic system. And there Is the no less
pitiful "gentility" which, while sus-
tanning, cramps so many of these
women still more. But occasionally,
also, a kindred spirit, like the youths
landledy, who had been a circus per-
former, a woman of many adventures
and many memories. Her basement
living-room was filed with souvenirs
Of many countries, with portraits Of
many men:
There was something buccaneer-
ing in her ways-her big, Jolly
laugh, her shrewdness, her love of
adventure, her amorous tales;
tales under which Miss Leslie ap-
peared to literally wilt away in
horror For between the two
women there was only this point
in common-the contemptuous pity

sauced her. II did not mean any
thing; 1t was just her way of be-

nasty-minded or petty about the
woman; she had lived her life and
was warmed through and through
with it-as one is with a generous
wine. II was Miss Leslie
who had the nasty thoughts.

THE EXTRA DAY.

THE EXTRA DAY By Algeruou Blackvood-
limo. ~. S5s. The Macmillan Company.
Mr.. Blackwood has ere now delighted
US with his sensitive stories Of chill
dren, or, rather, of childhood. A poet
at heart, lover of nature and mystic,
he has an Imagination which relies but
little upon memory and builds far bet
ter anew. "The Extra Day" is not a
second Golden Age" but it has much
charm and sentiment, and. nearer the
surface, much Of the unconscious
humor Of children. II occasionally he
stretches our belief little with the
extraordinary doings and ideas and
sayings of the trio of this book. he
makes up for it with the delight he gives
US. There is Mr.Jinks, for instance, their
fathers friend and fellow civil ser
want. who always talks to them in the
condeseending way which children hate

rible accident for him on their toy rail-
road. "Shall we break both his legs y
asked Maria, "or just his neckp
Neck" said Tim, briefly. "Mr. Jinks
was tucked up with woolly rugs and
supplied with an iron foot-warmer.
There was fearful fog, and the train
was going at TREMENDOUS rate. So
was the other train. 1t was the most
appalling collision that has ever been
heard of. 1t took place between the
footstool and the fireplace"
Uncle Felix is their friend and COM
panion He tells them a story Of tiger
hunt of his. The elephant trod on
cobra. which bit 1t. The maddened ami
NAL ran away, shook off the mahout
and the gun-bearer and left uncle and
the howdah suspended in a tree. But
the children's only comment was that
at was not fair TO step on the cobra
and expect it to do nothing"
And there is their friend the tramp.
He was wonderful "How could he live
without furniture, house, regular meals
without possessions, in wordT 1t was
real life TO live that way" He was
their guest at picnic. "And you eat

Felix. Hand round the cups and

asked Judy of the guest. The quiet
ness Of her voice made it almost
tender. Such a man might, more
over. despise sweet things. But he
said he did.
1.-TWO lumps7" she asked, "or
one?"
Five, please" he said.
The constable came to arrest the
tramp for stealing a chicken and q roll
of butter. He'll hang by the neck till
he's dead thought Tim, land after
ward they'll bury the body In lime

the grave"
