times il is misinterpreted. some
times it d, left out Of account alto

treated with the deliesey and under

plays in the present novel.
A book about boys inevitably chsl-
l.nges comparison with Marx Twain's

"Penrod." Miss De Ia Roche's touch is
distinctly feminine. Her boys never
seem able TO let themselves 20 and be
utterly and completely bad. They are
constantly coming into collision with
their strict Governess; but the worst
Of their escapades pale By comparison
with the everyday life Of Tom Sawyer
and Huck Finn. Perhaps nationality
has something TO do with the diff.
ference. The three little boys Of Miss
De Ia Roche's novel are English. and

But what the story lacks in bolster

author is blessed with the true child

and freedom from sophistication. To

To regard this fulsome praise is TO

What is it actually that so charms

is supplied in another comment by a

in the pages Of Able Pierre are nice
