CRUELTY TO CHILDREN
There are some delightful glimpses of tho child-mind in the story of the torpedoing of the evacuee ship, including tho case of the little girl who thought the fun would be spoiled by having to write an “essay ” about it. it was a true instinct that told her an adventure was better than an essay.

She can never hope to gain the praise of Cordelia—“ Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low ” with a name like that.—‘ Observer.’
