Whispered by the Leaves. Written and illustrated by Kathleen Lucas.

(Day and Son.)—Here we have stories and pictures which should please the children. The " Story of the First Scareeia," with its curious little brownies, the " Three Little Jack-in-the-Boxes," and the sad fate of Ruth's rabbit, as in " What the Beech-Leaves Told," are all good.
