Little Merrymakers. Illustrated by Constance Haslewood (Frederick Warne and Co.)—A

volume of pretty little pictures and moderate verses. But might we suggest to the illustrator that the young persons whom she figures in " St. Valentine's Day" and " All Hallows' Eve " are far too young for love-making ? There is much to be said for the old-fashioned people who thought that this " nonsense " ought to be kept out of the way of boys and girls as much as possible.
