Mrs. Florence Smith Vincent. author
of Peters Adventures in Meadow

has Just finished her 1,04Sth child
story. In the spring a second book
of Peters adventures. this time in
birdland, will be published. Her third
volume will find Peter in the animal
world. Mrs. Vincent's work grew out
of an ambition dating back to child
hood. She made her start by selling
story to childs magazine, for which
she received five dollars. And even
while she was yet student in high
school she began to do settlement work
among children.
In a search through old newspaper
files an interesting interview of 1904
with the late Howard Pyle was un-
earthed. Those who have bought or

ris C'Uncle Remus)" will be observed
in many New Jersey schools by the
reading of Uncle Remus stories and a
short sketch of his life. Joel Chandler
Harris was born in Eatonton, Putnam
county, Ga, on the 9th of December
184S. Eatonton is small town sur
rounded by cotton plantations which
were titled In those days by negro
slaves. There in the oak and hickory
woods lived Brer Fox and his cronies ;
there in the big red road Brer Rabbit
and the little rabbits came out at dusk
to play, and there, around many a
cabin hearth fire white children and
black listened to tales of the creatures.
1t was an environment that was
shared by all children of that place
and time but one little. timid, red
headed, freckle faced boy held the tales
in his memory and later gave them to
the world in a form that has moved
thousands of children to love and
laughter. Mrs. Warren c. King OF
Bound Brook, N. j., who is chairman
of the Uncle Remus Memorial Asso-
citation for the State of New Jersey,
has secured the cooperation of many
private and public schools in the State
of New Jersey in the observance of
Uncle Remus's birthday.
Asked at one time how he accounted
for his success, Theodore Newton Vail,
great captain of the telephone indus

ing when young to do another mans
work, and then, when older, by never
doing anything somebody else could
do better for me-"

GOLD SHOD."

We had to throw away the JACKIE,
| of Newton Fuessle's Gold Shod" (Boni
& LiveHght) before we could read the
book in public conveyances. When we
tried to read it in the subway the other
day we created a near sensation.
Every one in the car stopped reading
the Subudy Sun and stared in open
mouthed wonder at the brilliant gold
paper cover with which the publishers
have provided the book. On the IT.
the jacket made an even bigger hit.
There the sun danced on Il through a
window and splashed golden light
around us until we must have re-
sembled an angel trying on new halo.
Or aren't haloes golden? Be that as it
may, we had to throw the jacket away
or be arrested for blocking the traffic.
Fuessle's book is the only thing we
have ever seen that looks like a gold
brick and isn't. Even after you throw
the golden jacket away there is plenty
of gold left. In fact, with the ex-
ception of Tarkington's "Alice Adams
