There are gathered things OF beauty
for the delight of children, and each
object of art has story attached.
Some of the smaller and less perpleX-
ing objects are brought to the atten-
ton of the children in the stories
which have been grouped together to
form this book. They are the most
delightful fairy stories any young per-
son could wish to read. The drawings
of the story objects and other illustra-
tions are by Miss Winifred Bromhall
curator of the art centre.
When bedtime comes and little
brother or sister or both coax for

mother will find the little book OF

interesting stories, but because they
are exactly the kind of stories to tell
little folks before sleepytime. There
are fairy stories, and animal stories,

story, and a cookie story, and lots of
other equally interesting ones.
Stokes Children's Annual contains
a wealth of stories by many authors,
with colored and pen Illustrations by

Among. the authors are listed Sheila e.

the names of Ruth Cobb, Florence Har-

that every one of them is good every

The Madonna of the Box Car

WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS
AND OTHER CHRISTMAS STORIES.
By Marie Conway Oemler. The Cen
tury Company.
T HIS book, full of the spirit Of
Christmas, contains six short
= stories which have been re-
printed from various magazines. We
the first story, from which the book
takes its title, appealed to us more
than any other. Beginning with
Dickens's christmas Carol" there is n
long list of stories about some case
hardened creature in whose heart
love lay dormant but who was trans
formed by the Christ spirit on the day
of His birth. Several of the stories in
this book are of that type, but their
clever handling and fresh method OF
development make them interesting
reading.
The birth of a male child to an
italian woman on a snowbound train
is the theme of the first story. A
blessing comes to her fellow travellers
at the sight of that infant in the arms
of a modern Madonna, with the adora-
ton of the young husband for both
his wife and child. We cannot get out
of our minds the words of Trenton,
the Pittsburgh man, who makes
money ruthlessly and builds great hos
pitals.'
"Theres a girl out in that box car
and her hour is upon her." the great
surgeon told his friends.
Seeing the mother among strangers
at that great moment Trenton said:
Tt sort of comes upon me-unaware.
Ny wife died-like that. Very young,
poor thing! 1 was, too. Not rich
then. Poor--very; but, my heaven,
how happy! She was so pretty. my
wife! 1 loved her a great deal
But-she died, and the baby with her.
And that's why he finished mildly, i
build hospitals
"The little, cold, dry. moneyed man
took on a new aspect"
That little bit appealed to us even
mere than the understanding which
came to the surgeon and his wife. more
than the joy and love which blossomed
happily in the hearts Of the two young
people.
1.-The Spirit of the House" is fan
tastic Christmas eve and Christmas
day story. 1t is the only one in the
look which has no young child" in its
pages. But it is delightful love story
Of all good things coming to one on the
tides of the Christmas spirit.
"The Youngest officer" is of a nine
year-old boy who through his heroism
wins the hearts of his hostile grand
parents and unites his father and him
'elf with them again.
Linden Goes Home" takes us back
| to the South at the time Of the civi
war, with weird touch Of negro
superstition which holds the reader
though he knows the outcome of the
story.
"The Little Brown House" ranks
next to the first story in the book
The New York herald., 1921-12-18

Tired of gayety and the activities in
volved in her husbands position, the
woman finds peace and friendship in
the little brown house-and happiness
follows on Christmas eve.
THAT Makes the World Go Round
comes third in our choice. The French
woman and her daughter, the German
and his son. the young people married
and the in-laws airing their tempera-
ments-all that has little to do with
Christmas, but much to do with human
nature and the goings on in houses
where more than one family try to
live under one roof. The solution ar
rives on Christmas eve.
This book is one which can be taken
up at times other than the holiday
season and read with keen enjoyment.

FICTION AND POETRY

authenticity, if that were possible.
That which can get itself all said
easily is apt not to carry a very big
burden or to be worth the saying.
These simple lyrics push into regions
of profound pathos and large aware
ness. Yet they are as tightly anchored
to intellect on the one hand as to feel
ing on the other. And back of many
of them there Is unquenchable laugh
ter and sunshine.
Who shall say what a poet shall
sing Of where he shall begin and
where he shall end? The time has
passed when we set definite bounds to
poets gifts. They may bring whatever
parcels they like to the altar so long
as they are genuine, wrapped up in
any kind Of paper and tied up with
any kind of string All are welcome

poem Things is made of everyday
stuff:
Sometimes when am at tea with you
l catch my breath
At a thought that is old as the world
is old
And more bitter than death
It is that the spoon that you just laid
down
And the cup that you hold
May be here shining and insolent
When you are stil and cold.
Cryptic lines of great beauty are
these:
Some learn it in their youth,
Some after bitter years:
There Is no escape from the truth
Though we drown in our tears.
Many die when they see
That the terrible thing Is true.
But it has been easy for me
I always knew.
But if there are poems of sadness
there are also those with the sugges-
ton of smiles and the sounds of low,
ripping laughter. Take, for example,
to gay whimsicality of these lines:
This dicing with hearts is a perilous
| game:
Be it one or another the end is the
same.
There is sure to be sorrow however they
So I think I shall not have lover

Girl at Bull Run" The prisoner was
little Mary Dean, from New London,
Conn, who was visiting her Southern
cousins. She was released, of course,
and there followed many thrilling and
pleasurable experiences. She was pre-
sented with a beautiful pony, which
was mysteriously stolen. Then she
received the greatest gift of all, two
live dolls. In other words, Sheba and
Bathsheba, the two cutest picka-
ninnies in all Virginia. What she did
with them makes an interesting story.

to put Uncle Sam out of the running.
In this tale boy divides the interest
