A delightful and original child's magazine is John Martin's Book,

published monthly from 33 Wust Forty-ninth Street, New York City, at 40 cents a copy, or £1 a year to England. It has an individual note which is rather rare in these days of great newspaper combines, and is informed with a spirit of childhood which is hard to define but plain to discern. Mr. Martin called at this office yesterday, having just arrived from America for the purpose of lunching with a twelve-year-old reader in Paris and her father. To-day he flies to France. To-morrow he flies back and the next day returns to New York. That is the way of the world to-day. * * * *
