The Tony Sarg Marionette Book. By F. J. Mclsaac. (New

York: B. W. Huebsch, Inc. $1.00.)—If your children like to make things and have sufficient perseverance, this little book will give them adequate instructions for organizing a puppet show at small expense. It contains useful illustrations by Mr. Sarg and two fairy-story plays for marionettes by Miss Stoddard. The remainder of the book, which purports to deal with the history of puppets and to exhibit the " lovable and unique personality " of Mr. Sarg, is of little value. It displays, rather, the sunshiny disposition of the author in words of not too many syllables.
