and what interest and happiness she can
get out of her work and her devotion. 1t
is a lively narrative. Another series that
turns its attention to the possibilities
young people can find in working for the
bettering of their surroundings is that
telling of the various activities of Trudy
and Timothy by May Aiken. "Trudy and
Timothy, Foresters'' Penn), show these
indefatigable youngsters saving the fine
trees about the village of their home,
Todds Ferry. from destruction, working
with the forest ranger, altering the crab
bedness of a mean old man into finer
feeling and saving a house from fire 1t
is ali very convincingly told and it cer-
tainly holds the attention Books of this
kind ought to be helpful in making children
realize the importance of our natural re-
sources and the beauty of the out of doors.
Two new books in a new series are
Jeanne" and Jeanne Entertains' (Penn),
by Alice Ross Colver. Here it is French
girl who is the heroine, a little girl whose
story begins with the devastation of her
village and her home by the Germans.
There is real charm in the first story,
the only one that has come into my hands,
and the pictures of France and its people
are convincingly given. The child is saved
from manifold dangers and comes to Amer
lea a stowaway dressed as boy, and there
finds home and a mother. A book to
make it's readers feel the nearness of
France and her people and to be glad of
the association between the two countries.
A lively picture of life in a coed college
is written by Leila Horn Richards in Caro-
line at College" QLittle, Brown. 1t is the
second in it's series, Caroline already being

whole shelf of books for girls, who take to
her tales like ducks to water. "Who is
Sylvia" doubleday, Page, carries on the
life of Sylvia, begun in an earlier cvoume,
from the moment she is eighteen, ending
with a love story just beginning. The
song of Sylvia is used as the theme, each
line marking a phase of Sylvias expert
ences. A fresh and attractive story
The second book in the Mellbrook Series
is "Georgina Finds Herself (Jacobs) by
Shirley Watkins, we'll known for her girl
stories. Georgina, back from a five year
residence in France, has some trouble adj
justing herself and her ideas to American
life. How she succeeds and the persons
and the elements that help her to this sue
cess make the tale. 1t is written with
considerable spirit and will entertain older
readers as we'll as those for whom it was
written.
Adele Doring in Camp" Gathrop, Lee
& hepard), is the fourth of its series The
camp is on one of the islands of the st.
Lawrence, an enticing place that is
painted with charm. There is a mystery
concerning a youth belonging in those
parts. which is solved by Adele and her
friends. good outdoor story full of
boys and girls and their interests.
Lucy Fitch Perkins has been writing
stories of travel. with twins for her hero
and heroine. these many years. This year
THE Swiss Twins (Houghton Mffiin)
is her title. and she shows the life and
the country she has chosen with the same
accuracy and narrative power that have
gone into the making of the previous vol
umes The book is the same in form
with the others in the series and is
charmingly illustrated with drawings af-
The New York herald., 1922-12-03

ter pencil sketches by the author Another
book series that features both twins and
foreign parts is the Twin Traveller Series"
by Mary H. Wade. Twin Travellers in
China and Japan" (Stokes), is the new
one and the same boy and girl who have
visited so many countries make trip
which they decide is the best yet. Lots of
Information and good deal of fun goes
into the making of these pretty books.
Another college story is "Pegs-Sopho-
more" (McCann). Pegs has been through
freshman year in an earlier book. On she
goes, conducted by Christina Catrevas and
Jean Wick, and she goes brightly and joy
ously, with plenty of adventures suitable
to her environment, and to the fact that
she teaches a class of wild boys for the
College Settlement Club. There is enough
mystery to keep young reader absorbed
a counterfeiting swindle which is exposed
through clever detective work by the girls
and the slum boys. new volume is
promised for next year.
The first in new series is THE Little
Cockalorum" (Penn) 1t is the story of a
girl who starts in to earn money to go TO
college. incidentally, she sets her father,
who is an artist with more talent than
money, on his feet. These story girls are
certainly wonders, but they bring tinge
of romance to life with these successes of
theirs Wallis Simkins is the author given
on the title page, though the introduction
is signed THE Authors"

run over the events covered in previous
volumes sufficiently to give new readers
enough background to go ahead with this
story on its own basis if they choose Miss
Smith writes straightforwardly and sin
cerely and makes her girls very real.
Peggy gets married in this story, which
probably puts an end to this series, for
with marriage girls pass into a new world
where the teens are not expected to fol-
low-where the real novel begins And
there lis another love affair. But mostly
the story is concerned with the adjust
ments to life and it's duties of the four
girls OF Friendly Terrace, with the fun
they have and the talks they talk. 1t is
a good, sound and wholesome story.
For much younger girls is the series
known as the Little Maid Historical Series,
by Alice Turner Curtis. These books take
a couple of small girls and set them in
a historic background. where they play
their part in the incidents of the period
"A Little Maid of Virginia" (Penn) has it's
setting in Yorktown during 1881 The two
children are suspected as spies before the
tale Is over. and one of them is made a
prisoner There are a number of adven-
lures. and the whole is amusing and well
done, but there is not much flavor of the
actual life of the time. The history is ac-
curate, however. and will familiarize its
little readers with those last months of the
War of the Revolution.

The Seasons Children's Books

~ OOKS for boys and girls in their
X teens move out of the realm of
imagination except in rare in
stances and become chronicles of school,
vacation or working life or of adventure
in various parts of the world with the en-
phasis on fact. The heroes and heroines
are boys and girls like, or supposedly like,
those who read of them. Many of these
books run in series, taking the small group
through various phases of their growing
life. carrying them on from the age of
children to that of youth or maiden. Young
people appear to like this sort of con-
tinued story. Sometimes they are remark
ably good. considering that inspiration does
not enter into their making. Often they
seem to older readers too stereotyped, too
lacking in actual character drawing or
freshness of view to be worth the trouble
of writing or reading 1t is difficult indeed
TO judge them from the standpoint of the
readers for whom they are intended, for
they are often further removed from adult
interest than the fairy or the folk yarns
meant to appeal to a younger group but
which are less circumscribed in their au-
dience.
