Comparable to the idea of the frog in "Cinderelâ€" T e tds 308 . c itc3 Pb ht n / la‘s Garden" who says "all the people I meet are just crazy to write. Now â€"this is the clever partâ€"let them do it, only they won‘t be paid. We‘re going to pay the readers." It seems us if something like this should be done. An investment which ought to npâ€"} peal to hard headed business men is the new anthology of the world‘s poâ€" étry which has been compiled by Mark Van Doren. For Mr. Van Dorâ€" en states that the collection "repreâ€" sents at least five thousand dellars worth of poetry" should the books containing the individual poems be printed separately. . This is putting poetry on a business basis. Katharine _ Newlin â€" Burt‘s book | "Cock‘s Feather" is an awfully gnod‘u book after it gets going. There is aI P good deal in the beginning about the ‘l childhood of the characters which is ‘l obviously . stageâ€"setting, giving us |l clues to follow through as if they j were road maps in their later lives.}f Then too, it makes us wonder as does : so much grown Up writing about children â€" if the author remembers |. how it is to be a child after all. 11 But beyond the point of at least | partial grownâ€"upness the story beâ€" comes interesting.

"Old Pybus," asl the old man is called, is an appealing character. Because of their spiritual kinship he is able to help the young boy as he was never able to help his \ own son, and starts him on the right path. Envy is the unholy passion stirred in one‘s heart by this book of Mrs. John Borden‘s, "The Cruise of the Northern Light." Every time Mrs. Borden speaks of the strange beauty of the Arctic which one must see to. realize, one is envious. Even the danâ€" gers of hidden snags, the exhaustion of long hunts after seemingly nonâ€"exâ€" istent bears, the chance of being caught in the Ice Pack, a "hideous night" of a hurricane deter one not ln bit from wishing one had been | along. "THE CRUISE OF THE NORTHâ€" â€"ERN LIGHT q O It was such a delightfully “once‘ upoh a time" thing to do, to fit up a private yacht with every necessity and convenience and sail from San Francisco on April 21, 1927, on pleasâ€" ure and adventure bent, incidentally to pick up some polar bears, wild flowers and things for the Field Muâ€" seum. Mrs. Borden tells the story of their adventures | interestingly, and . with the conscientious accuracy and fidelâ€" ity of a ship‘s log. While this qunl-‘ ity would not be a recommendation for most stories, perhaps, it adds to the reality of this one, it makes us feel that we were almost there.
