place taken by tales of school life and

dealing with baseball and football and
the nodal life of colleges; books telling

Baby Darling and the Kevvpies
And We Have With
Us the Kewpies
Most children have already met tho
"Kcwplcs," those droll creations of Itose
O'Neill, Children nro now nfforded a
more Intimate acquaintance In "The Kcw
plo Kutouts," Just published by Stokes.
Miss O'Neill, tho nrtlst, explains her
book, which Is replete with charmingly
colored "Kewples," which can be cut from
paper and clothed:
'This tells the Kewples latest caper.
With Kowple dolls cut out of paper
And how a sad affair was mended
And Baby Darling's sorrow ended."
In thi5 book Miss O'Neill recites tho ad
ventures of various children with the
"Kewples." She advises:
"When parents lean more than thej ought
To harsh censorious -forms of thought.
To systematic growls 'and gi'umbllng,
'TIs best to do a little tumbling.'
They rind themselveB fur leas sarcastic
When their habits nre gymnastic."
Then we see the Kewples and parents
doing most amazing acrobatic stunts on
horizontal bars nnd Jumping.
The Kewples exist tor the purpose of
malting peoplo happy. They are never
Batlsfled unless trooping off to kidnap a
poor little girl nnd tnke-hereto ''the-country,
or reforming tho .scolding aunt, or
helping poor Mrs. McGraw to take care
of her children nnd doing tho washing.
Their continual broad grins and mis
chievous eyes are Irresistibly contagious.
Miss O'Neill concludes truthfully:
"Thanks to goodness, children bad
.Arc very seldom to bo had.
At least, 'tis sure thoro nren't many
In fact, we don't believe there's any."
Mother Goose in j
New Garments !
It has remained for Jessie Wlllcox
Smith to present "Mother Goose" nnd all
her children as they have never appeared
before. Of course, all of you, big and ,
little, are familiar with SIlss Smith's II-

been more happy than In her pictures for
the "Mother Goose" book Just Issued by
Dodd, Mead & Co.
The frontispiece. Illustrating the "Hush-a-by
baby, on the treetop, when the wind
blows the cradle will rock," reveals a
bonny Infant In n crib way up among
the boughs, almost nenr the moon.
We learn from the historical note In the
book that tho first eight ''Mother Goose"
tales were published in France In 153S
by Charles. Perrnult. ,Some years later
these tales reached England. There were
only 51 rhymes In the original English
edition, and ns tho years passed others
crept in. In tho present book there are
more than 200 thymes that have not ap
peared In any volume Issued before.
Miss Smith's Illustrations include both
full-page color pictures and pen draw
ings. They will add a new charm .to,
"Mother Goose" and delight the child
heart.
A King and a Mouse ,
Once upon a time, according to Padre
Luis Colona, who wrote this tale for the
King ot Spain when he was a child, there
lived a king called Bubl I, who was Very
kind to poor children and mice. For tho
children he built a factory for making
dolls and cardboard horses, for the bene
fit of the mice he made wise laws to
stop cats catching them, and absolutely
forbade the use of mousetraps.
Of course, the mice were grateful, and
the king had a charming time with his
friends, A quaint child story of humor
and pathos, translated from the Spanish
by Lady Moretop, and published by the
John Lane Company In a series of dimin
utive, exquisitely Illustrated books. In
the series are also "The Three Bears and
Mother Hubbard," The Sleeping Beauty"
and "Puss in Boots," done Into verse by

Adventures of Wee
Little Indian Girl
The adventures Of n. little Indian girl
who Is stolen by a young brave ot an
other tribe, as told In "The Little Buffalo
Bobe," by IlUtU Everett Beck IHenry
Holt, N. T.), make fascinating ronitimf
for palefaces of any age, If, so be It, they
have hot been nurtuied In the inllh that
all good Indians are dead.
The Indian picks up the girl, nets her
on his pony and gnllopn nwny. The et
end night she slips out of the hulTolo
roho In which ho hn wrapped her nful
guided by tho Btnr-Thfil-Movffl.Not, takes
up the trail that will carry her back to
the smoke fires of her own wlgwnms.
First she faces all the terrors of the
darkness, ghosts nnd wild beasts nnd
birds of prey and then comes hunger,
which Is worse than fear. One night she
sleeps In a cave with wolf-cuba, nnd
coddles up to them for warmth. She kills
a rattlesnake Just In lime, narrowly
escnpes being trampled by a herd of wild
biifTRdoes, cats roots and birds' eggs
while the Big Light tmVels many times
around thb earth. Her llltlo moccasins
are wtrn thin and her courage, too, be
fore her adventures are over.
She encounters tho bravo who captured
here, once more, when she Is older, old
enough to llflten to the fluto calls nnd to
receive gifts left overnight outsldo her
lodge.
A delightful story, told with n child's
directness nnd nalvettc. and lull of the
pagan poetry of an Imaginative race
whose signs and iiorlcnts nre tho sun,
moon and stars. i
Fairy Tales of Many Lands
Wonder tales of many countries even
from Indln make up the 60 or more
stories In "Tho Diamond Story Book," by
Penrhyn W. Coussons (DuIIIeld, New
York). Here nre fairy nnd folk tales,
legends of the saints, tnlcs of kings,
princes, fairies, of magic fishbones, Jnrs
nnd rings, wicked ogres and fair maidens.

havo ever been published so replete with
the legends of olden days. They nre de

fectively Illustrated.
"How All Things Began," by Emlllo
Kip Baker (Macmlllnns), tclln for chil
dren tho stories of Thor, Odin, Brunhyldo
and the finga heroes of the North.
"Imnglna," the heroine of tho story of

boy, nn artist nnd poet, who Is very, very
lonely, and who mnkes friends with Kit.

happen to all with n happy Imagination,
"Imnglna" takes form In real life, and
this child's story ends with n symbolic
meaning for dcepcr-thlnklng adults.
Tales of Heroes
As a rulo books for children are writ
ton In a vein cither too profound for
youthful minds or so puerllo ns to make
them worthless. Frederick A. Stokes
Company, New York, has succeeded In
Issuing tho first live of a scrim of his
torical volume under the general title
of "Heroes of All Time," which are well
nigh above criticism. Well written, well
Illustrated and "wells of Information,"
they nre worthy of serious attention on
the part of adults ns welt ns children.
From a literary "lewpolnt the series is
above the average. Concise nnd Interest
ing, the fivo little volumes contain n
fount of Information. Anecdotes and
fables of other days aro so cleverly
Interwoven nnd so skilfully rclnted as
to mako them n homogenous part of a
valuable whole.
The scries consists of "Alexander tho
Great," by Ada Iltisnoll; "Jeanne D'Arc,"
by B. M. Wllmot-Buxton;' "Alfred tho
Great." by A. E. McKllllami 'Slr Wal
ter Itolelgh," by Beatrice Mnralmll, and
Augustus, by Ilcne Frances.
Either as n gift or for tho mdre serious
purpose of education the scries can be
recommended in all honesty.
Big War Series
American boys are deeply Interested
In tho war In Europe, because not only
Is It a gigantic struggle but their own
future will be largely Influenced by the
outcome. The fenr of spies In London,
Paris. Berlin, Vienna, Pctrograd and In
other cities has been one of tho early
and pronounced facts.
That the uoy reader snail gain a clear
knowledge of this great war of the na
tions, Its cnuses. deeds nnd results, Is
the object In "Tho Search fdr the Spy," by
Boss Kay, (New York. Barse nnd Hop
kins) and a thrilling volume Is tho result,
full of hairbreath's adventure of the kind
that the young thrive upon.
Early Discoverers
"The Treasure Finders," by Oliver Clay
(Duffield's), is on account of the men who
explored and conquered the new world ot
Columbus. French, English, Spanish,
Norse and Dutch are all represented,
from Lief Erlcson nnd his Vikings to
Henry Hudson. The romnnce of the dls
covery of America Is picturesquely de
scribed. Tl

Rousing Books for Boys
In "The Scouts of Stonewall," and
"Tho Sword of Anttetnm" (D. Appleton &

written two rousing Civil War tales.
"The Scouts ot Stonewall" Is a ro
mance founded upon Stonewall Jackson's
famous campaign In the Valley of Vir
ginia, nnd nnrratcs tho fortunes of Harry
Kenton, a Southern boy assigned to duty
as an aide on the staff of Stonewall
Jackson. Harry Kenton's friends of his
own age, Arthur St. Clair, Happy Tom
Lnngilon and George Dalton, come In
for their share of glory. Two Southern
colonels, friends ot Harry, aro also con
spicuous. In "Tho Sword of Antlclam" Mr.
Altshelor chooses for his hero n young
Northern lnd. Dick Mason. After engag
ing In the grcnt battle at Shlloh, Dick
returns on service to the East, and takes
part In the Socond Manassas, nnd with
his comrades shnres In a heroic fight
against tho triumphant genius of Lea
nnd Jackson. Three great battles Sec
ond Mnnaosns, Antletam nnd Murfrees
boro arc described In this book, but
McClellan Is the chief historical figure.
There Is n vivid picture of the scenes
attending Left's Invasion of Maryland
and tho remarkable series of events lend

The book Is written In a vein n trifle
