tho Peter Rabbit stories. The chl-
 drrn never tire Of hearing them over and over again they are ieal- ous of each detail and object strenu- ! ous}y to the slightest change or omission.
 There is also. however. new type Of story which little children like better than any other. IL is not
 oven from fancy or folk lore, but
 from the daily experience of the childs own life Stories Of this kind are suitable from the age of up-
 ward and contain none of the mate
 rial We are accustomed to think of as especially dear 10 the childish heart.
 They are written entirely from the everyday happenings in he lives Of children. often told in their own exact lansuage. The stories are about such prosaic things as getting up in the morning. getting bathed and dressed. about the grocery man, a steam engine, a sEay cat. The language remains quite simple throughout and there are many rhyt hmic repetltions.
 Mothers who read them 10 their littlest ones will find that they can readily make up similar stories out of their own child's particular eNper- fence. and they will find that these home made stories will be the most dearly loved of all.
 Since the vocabulary and content of such everyday stories is the childs very own. he is directly stimulated 10 make up stories him. self or 10 fill n parts of those that mother tells him. Thus he is helped
 carly to develop his ability to ex-
 press himself in words and to find
 in them a creative delight.

Then l thought that if | screamed before ] got out of the room, the man might shoot at me or something. so 1 made myself lie perfectly still while 1 thought what I'd better do.'
 My pulses accelerated with pride for my niece-I was proud to call her that, although she was not what my mother-i law would call ''blood kin" to me. But her voice, a bit husky with nervous tension. was going on and focused my attention upon her story.
 The side of my room between the bed and the door was darker than the other, and the couch was between it and the Window,' she went on. Was l glad that I was wearing my black silk pajamas?
