Harold Earnshaw's contribution to

some celebrated children in story books is given in "Famous Children of Storybook Land," by Laura Antoinette Large.

Since this was written, a number of other books have come in which deserve mention. "Bible Stories Retold for Children," by Eleanor Crosby Kemp, is illustrated by J. J. Tissot. A book attractive in appearance and with delicate illustrations by Robert Joyce is "The Frightened Tree, and Other Stories," by Veryl Broughton Tuttle. Five plays for children are given in the book "Fairyland and Footlights," by M. Jagendorf. A book with charming illustrations in color and in black and white is "Adventures in Our Street," by Gertrude Kay, who is also the illustrator. Padraic Colum tells the stories of the great sailors and explorers of the Atlantic Ocean in "The Voyagers." This includes the voyages of Maelduin, of Saint Brendan, of Eric the Red, and of Columbus. Another delightfully illustrated book, with many pleasing animals in color and in black

"The Flying Carpet "

and white, is "The Wishing Fairy's Animal Friends," by Corinne Ingraham. The pictures are by Dugald Stewart Walker. "Cousins," by Bellamy Partridge, is a story of boys' adventures, recommended for boys and for men. "The Happy Dragon," by A. Thatcher and C. J. Hogarth, is a book of fairy stories well illustrated by Constance E. Rowlands. "A Child's Book of Country Stories," by Ada and Eleanor Skinner, is illustrated in color by Jessie Willcox Smith. Her pictures have all of their usual charm.

Three other large and remarkably fine picture books have been received. Carveth Wells has told the story of the curious animals which he saw in Malaysia in "The Jungle Man and His Animals." These are curious creatures, but they are vouched for by the learned Dr. Lucas, of the American Museum of Natural History, and very appropriately pictured by Tony Sarg. "A Gallery of Children," by A. A. Milne, is a large book of picturebook size. The text includes fairy and

wonder tales and stories of children, and the pictures in color by H. Willebeek Le Mair are not exceeded in beauty in any of the season's books. Thousands of children have read and continue to enjoy "The Adventures of Pinocchio." is offered this season in a large and handsome edition, illustrated in color by an Italian artist, Attilio Mussino.

The title has been used before by Charles G. D. Roberts, but Padraic Colum's "The Forge in the Forest" is a new story founded on early legends, with illustrations by Boris Artzybasheff. A twelve-year-old boy accompanied William Beebe during part of his expedition on the Arcturus. The boy's name is David Binney Putnam, and the story of his adventures has been written by him, with the title "David Goes Voyaging." He had the opportunity, rare for American boys to-day, to see devil fish and frigate birds, divers and volcanoes, and to learn whether the equator really looks like a broad, blue line about six feet wide. resting on the ocean. He had his picture taken in company with an albatross, and this and other pictures adorn this amusing book of true adventure. I hear very high praise for "The Fat of the Cat, and Other Stories," written by a Swiss author, Gottfried Keller, and freely translated by Louis Untermeyer. In fact, my informant told me that it was one of the very best books of the season. I pass this information along for those who like to read about cats. I don't. In my opinion, there are only two good cats in literature; one of them is in "Huckleberry Finn" and the other in "Penrod;" one is dead and the other is down a well.

At such times, and on dozens of other occasions, you regret that you cannot enter into the spirit of the moment. And, anyway, how can we call ourselves educated if we haven't a working knowledge of at least one language besides our own?

It is just long enough so that you can read it thoroughly twice a month. No one human being could possibly read the quantity of French dailies and magazines from which the choicest items have been culled.

ITTLE MACGEE, preacher of the Gospel, was a most well-meaning, eager man. We lived in a tent on a bare hillside above the sea. It was war time. Little MacGee had his sorrows, and I had mine, and two thousand soldiers round about had theirs.

"What a field for the harvest!" said little MacGee.

Death had not yet commenced his harvest in the company streets.

So little MacGee went about, preaching the Gospel, singing hymns of a Sunday, and holding Bible classes-or trying to, for the soldiers in that camp were for the most part what in their own language would be known as "rounders."

life is for you a gamble and you treat it

not prevent your having an honest heart
and being very lovable.

Little MacGee had not been raised
among rounders.

Each Sunday morning little MacGee, two other Gospelers, and I were sent forth with a handful of printed matter to hold Bible classes among the soldiers. Not being much for printed matter, it was my custom to stroll over the ridge and down to the sea beyond, and there

THE OUTLOOK wishes to receive cartoons from its readers, clipped from their favorite newspaper. Each cartoon should have the sender's name and address together with the name and date of the newspaper from which it is taken pinned or pasted to its back. Cartoons should be mailed flat, not rolled. We pay one dollar ($1) for each cartoon which we find available for reproduction. Some readers in the past have lost payment to which they were entitled because they have failed to give the information which we require. It is impossible for us to acknowledge or return cartoons which prove unavailable for publication.
