etc., skilfully mingled so that the interest does not flag through the 372 pages. "Henrietta's Inheritance," by Lela Horn Richards (The Page Company, Boston), continues through another volume the life story of a girl heroine already very popular with a large circle of young readers; subjecting her to severe trials but bringing her in the end a college degree, a fortune and a lover; of all of which she will make good use, judging from the portrait of her which Thelma Gooch has painted for the book cover. The Page Company "Little Cousin" series now has reached a total of more than 50 titles, showing the popularity of this successful attempt to impart useful knowledge in pleasant form. Emily Goddard Taylor is the author of the latest issue which tells of the interesting island of Barbadoes and its Caribean neighbors under the title, "Our Little West Indian Cousin." THE TREE By T.
