By OLIVER HERFORD

Author of “The Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten,” “This Giddy Globe,” etc.

¶ As a humorous commentator upon morals and manners with special attention to cats, tutti frutti trees, Bolshevism for babies and trouser creases. Mr. Herford leaves nothing to be desired. His book is a mirror of engaging frivolity, an incisive but good-humored thrust at the follies of the day. Here and there a very rich and moving note is struck, as in THE BON DIEU’S BIRTHDAY PARTY where one finds in full flower that tender fantasy which is the greatest charm of Mr. Herford’s imagination.
