A Baby's Biography. By A. 0. Kaplan. With Pictures by

France's Brundage. (Dean and Son.)—Here is an opportunity for some proud parent just rejoicing over a first-born. The " bio- graphy " is suited for any baby. The first page gives blanks for the year, month, day, and hour of the little one's birth, and names and signatures of father, mother, doctor, and nurse ! Pages for recording weight, name, date of first outing (which, it seems, must be after the christening), first tooth, and so on. The drawings which illustrate these events are pretty enough, and sufficiently appropriate. The idea is novel ; more we do not venture to say.
