 THE COPY CAT AND OTHER
 STORIES
 By Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. Harper
 Brothers, Publishers, New York.
 In stories written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman we look for and we find qualities somewhat more significant than the ingen- uty of construction and fineness of finish, the observation of life and the facility of sentiment that may be the results of an ordinary aptitude for story writing im- proved by study. And the tales from her pen which arc contained in the recently published volume entitled The Copy Cat and Other Stories." emphasize again the superiority of genius to mere clever ness.
 There is remarkable depth in these stories, mostly about children, there are Understanding and reverence; there are humor and pathos, at once strengthened and held in check by knowledge of human nature and by sense of its mystery. The

ROSEMARY FOR REMEMBRANCE" 1"

By Norma Bright Carson. George H.
 Doran Co.,, publishers. New York.
 Does realism dispose of the finesse of romantic love--of loves sacrifices and splendid idealism?
 Is all that mere myth or real hu- man nature?
 Norma Bright Carson believes it is real--makes it real in this idyll of loves tributes
 Read it because it is rather hard to summarize a story into which q woman has put her finest, biggest thoughts about love- with a story real yet very tender.
 Norma right Carson is editor of the Book News Monthly, author "In the Kingdom of the Futre"-the adventure of an unborn soul-and her standing is equally high among authors and critics

Thus there Is curious thrill in her story. for instance, of Big Sister Solly." the imaginary playmate; something unusually arresting, too, ill .'The Copy Cat,'' the tale of a little girl who initiated another little girl until she found out that she thad personality of her own. Even Johnny Trumbull who read Robin Hood in his uncle's library, and was in spred thereby to carry out the quixotic plan of stealing cats from poor people and giving them to the rich--even scratched and bedraggled and disapproved Johnny is something more than funny and lovable. He had ideals and inscrutable motives, and he makes us wonder because he is so human.
 Then, too. in tho stories of older people where love and conscience are found working in strange but true ways. there are both amusement and awe.

He offered us seven rooms and a
