Little Grown-Ups. With Illustrations by Maud Humphrey and Stories and
Verses by Elizabeth S. Tucker. (Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—Here we have some dozen or so charming pictures of children playing at the amusements or occupations of their elders. For a frontispiece there is a little fellow of five in a red coat, who is going to strike a golf-ball (and with a most promising swing) ; on another page a little lady feels the pulse of a sick doll ; Mrs. Pringle, aged five, calls on a friend of the same ago (their talk is not quite nice, by the way) ; there are amateur housemaids of the same age, and other amusing little creatures. The book is "printed in America," we see, and written there too, we imagine ; for when the little golfer gets cleverly out of the way of a ball he is encouraged by a cry of ''Rah for you, Ted ! " " 'Rah" is from the other side of the Atlantic.
