love, not in a too-sWeet manner,
but true, tender love Of mother
for her brood of ten lovable,
naughty, kind and generous chill
dren.
Ninka van Hichtum says, Il
think it will interest you to know
that 1 knew Alike and all her
children. Her daughter was my
servant maid. who brought the
two little sisters with her, when
her mother was weak after hav-
ing her tenth baby. Everything,
went as l described it in my
book, and, l assure you, did not
paint this mother with untrue
colors. Just because she was as l
described her, could not abstain
from writing about this true
mother"
No one could believe that any
of the characters in "Afke's Ten"
are unreal. The characters are
all portrayed so clearly and SYM
pathetically that'they must surely
have their counterparts in real
life in many countries Of the
world. How delightfully."- she gives
us a peek into the life of children
their thoughts and little Joys:

I'm sorry. he kept saying to

''Ie was also out of sorts, but
MS slice of bread gave him a
mite of comfort in all this sad
ness. He took good bite, and
saw what fine round bite that
was How clearly his teeth had
made their mark in the soft
mashed potato. Just one more
bite close to the last! Once again,
good bite just as large as the
first! And there again, were the
clear marks of Jetse's teeth.
"Jetse was surprised and de-
nghted. He bit all the crust off
the bread in the same way. Only
the center part was left, the mic
est piece. on which the mashed
potato was thickest. And that
piece looked to him like an OBJ
long star with points. all sur
rounded by an edge of tooth
marks. 1t was beautiful! This was
the daintiest bite Of ALL Jetse was
very hungry. 1t was made to be
eaten! In the twinkling of an eye
the beautiful star had gone down
Jetse's little red lane"
How true that is! l never knew
d child yet that didn't save the
choicest morsel to be eaten last
of all, and then with greedy re-
luctance.
"Afke's Ten" is beautifully anc
sensitively translated and illus
trated charmingly by Hilda var
Stockum of Holland, and canno
be too highly recommended.

'Afkes Ten" is the story of
ten happy, mischievous Friesan
children and their loving parents,
Alike and Marten These children
might live anywhere, so truly
are they portrayed-they are gay
and lovable and very, very
naughty at times. 1t is the story
of their everyday life. Though
poor, they have the gayest of
times = going to school, playing
in the fiowery meadows, making
snowballs, teasing the old tyrant,
skating, alEday picnics on the
canals = and often getting into
mischief. And through the whole
story runs the tender love of
Alike for her brood of ten, and
the loving discipline of Father
Marten.
The author has deep insight
into the hearts and minds of
little children, she is in sympathy
with their childish griefs and
joys, and she can portray mother

Hamilton was partially right
Andrew Trent had retired to
North China to shoot whatever
he came upon. Before he went
he'd cornered Jason Brock in the
kitchen of the Foreign Club, and
given that plump gentleman
thorough beating.
Brock had just announced his
engagement to Tim over a case
of champagne. He'd made the
mistake of waiting until Andrew
had touched the glass to his lips
not knowing the reason for the
before uttering his
triumph. Andrew had dragged
him into the pantry. from there
to the kitchen, scattering the two
Chinese cooks. and performed
skilled job upon Brooks person.
The scullery, he'd said, was where
Brock belonged. even to be taught
manners. Andrews hands had not
improved the mans manners or
his appearance.
Tim had dashed in toward the
end-it lasted good half
hour - seen the carnage, ner
fiance's bruised countenance, and
made her own announcement:

Hamilton nodded. looked at
Andrew blankly; he'd known for
years, probably. He was stating a
fact, a condition which Hamilton
and I had long since recognized,
being practical humans.
"I'm a fool, my lads" Andrew
said, smiling again. He'd a tight
look around his eyes, but his lips
parted, they curled up toward
his lean cheeks. II should have
