Mrs. Seaman writes delightful story
about little girl and boy, the one poor
the other rich, who lived next door to
each other and got acquainted across
the fence. 1t is suitable for reading to
cb;1JroD ~ froO, ciy ten VeArS.
Miss Leonard adds another to her en-
tertaining stories of the Gray Mouse
Family, in which old friends reappear
, and there are all sorts of humorous,
romantic and dramatic adventures in
mouse society.
Miss Harris tells wholesome, inter
esting story of a city girl transplanted
I to country village, with an indulgent
governess replaced by the district
| school. 1t is an excellent study of the
her mid-teens. and will prove interest
ing to girls of similar age.
Amy Brooks sends the seventeenth
VIC think--of her Dorothy Dainty"
series, the scene of which is placed in
abatement Of interest from the stand
ard set by its popular predecessors.
"Toggles" is of course boy, lively,
out doors boy, who is not a bit namby-
pamby, and yet is little moralist and
optimist. His adventures will prove
fascinating reading for other boys.
The Hindu fairy tales which Mrs.
Grlswold retells in charming vein are
about men and women, monkeys and
elephants, genii and angels, and many
other creatures, real and imaginary
They will be Of interest to adults as
we'll as to children.
Miss STEMS songs are real poetry;
rhythmical, melodious and filled with
worthy thoughts. Indeed, they are
worthy of permanent place in litera-
ture Mrs. lnglis's colored ilustra-
tlons are exquisite.
We have met Elizabeth Bess before,
IN former volume, and have greatly
loved the winsome little lady. Here
she shows new airs and graces and has
some som hne adventures with fairy king.
We commend her to the society of bovs
ana girls IN their early teens, who will
ma her most attractive companion.
David Cory, whose stories of Bunny.
Fuss in Boots and others have delight
ed 1nnumerable children, has produced
the first of Little Wilful Princess
series, which gives promise of much
Joy to small readers and listeners.
Danny. the Detective" is a stirring
val, story of q London boy who goes
TO the country. detects and captures a
gang OF German spies, with their wire
less telegraph and carrier pigeons. and
IS rewarded by the government.
THE Big Game" is not merely boat.
ing and football. but also the more
important fight for clean sport, and
then the greatest of all, the war. It is
a stirring. manly story that Mr.. Perry
has written, full of the true spirit Of
school and college.
The Superstork carries the Little
where he has all manner Of adventures 8
with all sorts Of Wild creatures, from
the rabbit to the tiger, from the mon
Fey to the elephant 1t is finely
written book, paper and print are lux
urious, and the coored plates are su-
perb, thus ranking "The Sandman's
Forest" very high among the Juveniles
OF the year.
Another fine piece of book making is
The Little House in the Fairy Wood ~
in which little boy and girl have for
their friends and playmates the real
fairies-winds and trees and flowers.
Moral tales" for children are usually
goody goody and stupid. Not SO the
"Howtobegood Stories" which are con-
cerned with children who are very
muca alive and who do lots of naughty
things, but which without a bit OF
preascnlng suggest the right sort OF
