Two Little Children and Ching.' By Edith E. Cuthell. (Methuen.)

—Children who are fond of animals will enjoy the story of the two children and their inseparable companion, the little Chinese dog, the troubles that ensue from the dog's presence in a house unaccustomed to doggy ways, and the final agreement of all con- cerned. Our author seems to understand children and many of their unexpressed wants, and we may be sure children in return will appreciate her story.
