AUSTRALIAN SONGS FOR YOUNG AND OLD.

Words, Annie R. Rentoul; music, Georgette Peterson; illustrations, Ida. 8> Rentoul. Melbourne: George Robertson and Co.

If ever there was an absolutely charming combination of Matter, and Manner, and Method — three M's embodying freshness, charm, and originality — you have it before you in rt Australian Songs for Young and Old." Dainty and delightful, these songs should be in every home. where there is a heart for simpwj gladness, an ear for - music, and an eye for the ideal and the beautiful. The initial song of the. " Gobble- Wobbles " ia one of "the quaintest conceits. In " Mother Sea " it is enough to give the words of the first verse and declare the music to be in every way worthy of them:

Stay, little wave! Stay, little wave! Sfby one stay on the shore! Just a look at the land you -took, -Then scampered back once more. My Mother Sea she yearns for me, An 3 calleth o'«r and o'er. But- in selecting " Gobble- Wobbles " and "My Mother Sea" from the nine charming songs which form the contents of the " Australian Songs " there really is something insidious, ail are co pretty, so quaint, and so lovable.
