=GEORGIE.=
The Sayings and Doings of his Paw, his Maw, Little Albert, and the Bull
Pup.
"The charm of the book is the permanent charm of all literature,
according to Matthew Arnold's admirable definition. _Georgie_ is a

American who is neither too rich to be aping the English nor too poor to

worth reading as holding 'a mirror up to nature,' and it is also worth
praising because it discloses between its lines a kindly and unspoiled
nature on the part of the author."--_Chicago Tribune._
