NEW FAIRY
STORIES FOR CHILDREN
THAT STRETCH THE MIND
Talcs of Wonder From the Classics, From Belgium, Czecho
slovakia and Sotne Newly Invented by Modem Authors
rniryland is tho locale of several new
books of tho season nud youtiBstcrs will
bo delighted to explore theso magic
realms of uitchpq, wizards, trolls,
pixies, gnomes and others of the little
people to say notliiui; of the bcautiftit
Princesses nud gallant heroes uho people
this domain. Doubtless oldsters, too,
who retain their relish for fairy stories,
will find treasure trovo in these books
if on discovery bent.
Katharine Pyle, whose "Wonder
Inlei lletold" was so fnpclnntliic, has
again in "Talcs of Kolk and fairy"
narrated satisfactorily from "Once
Itpou n time" to "aud they Ilted linn
piy ever afterward" unfamiliar folk
lines ami fairy legends from many lands,
luo Serbs, the Cossacks, the Uengalesc,
tho vnnuy ScoU and tho hnrdv Vikluc
stock are among the contributors to
tins nilrolrnblo collection, which lias en
chantments, quick wits matched with
maleilecnt guile, good deeds of blmplc
folk duly rewarded and ill deeds eon-
diguly penalized nmong the Mibjccts of
us attractive stones. Jlrs. l'lo lias
just the proper touch of simplicity of
stylo nnd nitlessness of ticatment In
her charming narratives.
William Klllot llritlis, who has writ
ten so much and well about Holland, is
tho collector and editor ot the stories
from the adjoining land gathered in
"Belgian Fairy Tales." Some of these
Moiles nre familmr from the commonly
known anthologies of fair lore, one of
those of which ailants are known
being "The Swan Maidens aid the
Silver Knight. Hut most of thm will
come with the charm of novelty to
American readeis who nre just now very
miicli.lritercstcd in things Itelgian. An
thcie Is also charm in Mr. Griths'
manner of narration.
Another compilation of nationalistic
or racial fairy stories is "CVccho-Slowik
fairy Talcs," which hac been ictold
bj I'arl.er Plllmorc. Some of the noted
figures of fairy aud legended lore people
these delightful stories but against n
different folk background ot moods and
customs. The Czech nrietj of the fully
story is rich in humorous touches and
less fantastic than those of some other
nations. And they. hne u deal of pretty
sentiment in them. The illustrations uro
haudsomelv done nnd originally con
cched by Jan Matulka. who woiks both
in loior and black and white. In the
deioiations he has used the tiaditional
nrt-uuits used for generations In native
laces aud embioideiies.
Kthel M. flute has written some orig
inal fairy tales ir "Tales from the Se
cret Kingdom." She has n decided fac
ulty of iuonticucss with the usual per
sonages and programs of fairjlaud and
a pretty facility iu the telling of her fas
cinating stories. The illustrations are
silhouettes by Katharine UufFuin.
"The Wishing King." by Eleanor
Schorcr. is it Christmas fairy story. It
has a dunrf, a priiccss, a knight aud
other personages anil paraphernalia of
the authentic fairy story, though In sub
stance it is wliolh oiiginal, dealing as
it-does with the adventure-, of Iteth and
Hmlilv nmong strange sewn and people.

mained for Henry H. Tkston. wearied
-with hl war experiences, tj relax him
self nnd provide nmusemnt for the
children by harking back to the old for
mulas of the Grimm brothers nnd con
coctlng a baker's dozen of tales which
ought to entertain many generations of
chlldien. They are about magicians and
hidden trensuro and enchanted prin
cesses and such like things. Some of
them nro so nOel In plot ns to bo cap
able of entertaining the mothers who
will lend them to their children.
Take as an example "Tho host Half
hour." which is about a silly boy. n
king's daughter working ns a kitchen
maid and a princess. The boy is sent
on nll.forts of bootless errands because
he knows no better, and when the prin
cess oversleeps herself one morning and
remarks when she goes downstairs that
she has lost half an hour the boy offers
to go in search of it. He has numerous
adventures and iu the course of them
he tecovers the half hour aud has the
gift of wisdom bestowed ou him. He
is told that the ghl in the kitchen Is a
king's daughter and that at - o'clock
ou a certain day a dragon will carry
licr off unless ho can prevent it. He
arrives home just half an hour too late,
but bethinks him of the lost hnlf hour
and lets it loose. Thereupon all the
clocks turn back and cverj thing that
has happened reverses Itself and things
arc as they were at - o'clock. The
dragon is just about to seize the girl.
The boy kills it in time, aud, of course,
marries the girl anil lives happily ever
after. Tho book is one which will
delight those joungsters who have lead
all the idd fairy stories and waut some
uev ones of the siime kind.
Children, ns Andrew hang once said,
like to read tales that stretch their
minds') This is whv fnirj stories aie
pcreuninlly popular with them and whj
they level in the gnat m.vths and leg
ends. Joseph Jacobs has idlled for
them a collection of four of the tales of
wonder journeys in various literatures
Thellrst Is that of the Argonauts. The
version used is that which Kiugsle.v
wrote for his book ou "deck Heroes,"
This is followed by "The Vovage of
Maelduiu fiom the Celtic. The won
derful advcnturei of Ilusau of Ilassorah,
from the Arabic follows. It is full of
the magic that makes tho "Arabian
Nights" "faseinatiug. The book con
cludes with "The Journe.vlngs of Thor
kill and of Krie the Far-Traveled,"
fiom the folklore of tho Norsemen.
Stirriug illustrations by John D. Bat
ten make the tales seem more lcnl.
It has remained for Kupcit Hughes
to write n detective story for the nur
sery iu order that the children mav uc
quhe a taste for the kiuil of fiction
which the will read for relaxation iu
their matuiity. Mr. Hughes's detective
is a fairy, and he is tirst discovered by a
little ghl iu Centrul l'ark, where he is
wearing the disguise of u squirrel. He
bus been engaged (o discover who stole
the winter's supply of nuts gatheied
by a squirrel widow. An exciting
story ot his udv entities follows. Then
the render is introduced to him ns a
mouse, as a lisli and as au eagle. In
each disguise he is engaged iu unraveling
a m.vster). iind each time the little giii
has many interesting conveisutlous with
him. Mr. Hughes is to he cougiatulated
for i chaining fiom making any conces
sions to the probabilities. He does uot
cxpluin that the little girl was dreaming,
but has all the things happen while
sho is wide awake aud iu lull posses
sion of her senses. The book will en
tertain the. youngsters who can read it
for themselves, and it is likely to Vic
even more entertaining to those who
have to bo read to.

"JEREMY" REVEALS
HEART OF A LAD
Walpolc Sets Story Amid the
Dear Commonplaces of
Family Life
I
A wistful tnlo ot a little lad is
"Jeremy," n simple storv of childhood
from the pen of Hugh Walpole, whose
preceding book, "Tho Secret City." was
so dissimilar Hint it seems scarcely con- '
ceivnble the same man could have writ- I
ten both,
"The Secret City" was n novel of
blundering Russia, a book of blood audi
twisted souls and love gone wrong. I
wherens "Jenny" is n placid twilight
story of a llttlu boy of eight, u clergy- '
man's son, in a quiet, old cathedral
town iu Knglnnd.
Mr. Wnipolc, a recent v isltor to
Philadelphia, explained at that time'
that every so often he wrote n story of
childhood ns a means of relaxation
"The tJoldcn Scarecrow" was such it
book. And in "Mr. 1'errin nnd Mr
Traill" this' gifted author made an
Imgllsh public school the background
of his narrative- ,
In "Jeremy," Air. Walpole seems
tenderly to have laid bate the heart of
a child, throbbing with its nmazing joys
nud terrible sorrows, its hopes and fears
and hates nnd loves nnd vast dinp
pointnients. so vast itlvvays is dlsap
pointmeut in childhood.
We meet Jeremy in the nurserv, u
stout-hearted little lad of curious
imaginings, the son of a father with
out this handicap, who tries to be af
fectiouate in platitudes, nnd of a mother
whose abundant love compensates for an
intelligence just qualified to discuss
gentle gossip at afternoon tea. Thiough
out the story is tills adult baikgioiiud,
with its kindly coinmonplticcness as
uetiiy etened as the clearcut cliaracteri
allon of Jeremy himself, l'speeially,
though without the commouplnceness,
there is Jeremy's uncle, his 1'ncle
Samuel, "who was an unsuccessful
painter, nnd therefore 'odd'." hut it is
to Undo Samuel that little Jeremv is
most strongly drawn, and It is to little
Joremyi that I'nele Samuel's alTei lions
go out (though the crabbed old soul
never will admit it) for he sees in the
boy what is hltldeu from the rest of
the fnmil.
A .vear and n half or two vears ot

The Valley of Vision
(( A BOOK for the dreamer, the thinker, for the reader who
delights in observing the spirit of life in its belt mani
festations. There is great need for such a sane and beautiful
book in times such as these," suys the Bookman.
One of the longest of these stories is a vision of three un
known days in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It belongs with
"The Story of the Other Wise Man" which has gone around th
world. Another is an exquisite story of a vision of the Maid of
Orleans that came to a simple Frenchman.

book in hand, and explore for yourself, and you will be
amazed to find how little you know about your city. This
is a fascinating new volume by the author of
