Between the boards of Lothar Meggendorfer's moveable toy-books (H. Grevel & Co.) lies genuine fun. The Scenes of the Life of a Masher are simply irresistible. Little ones will be delighted with The Transformation Scenes, besides, there is Charming Variety with a Party of Six. These books are a good tip for a Christmas gift for the representatives of Tommy and Harry.
Had G. W. Appleton's The Co-Respondent—an attractive title—been in the form of a short magazine story, it would probably have been amusing from first to last. Now it is only amusing at first. Good idea all the same. The old quotation about "Sir Hubert Stanley" is brought in, and, of course, incorrectly. It is not "Praise from Sir Hubert Stanley," but "approbation." However, as it is said by a light-hearted girl of a very modern type, it may be assumed that the misquotation is intentional.
