George Madden Martin told more about Emmy Lou in a second book of stories entitled _Emmy Lou's Road to Grace_, which relates the little girl's experience at home and in Sunday school. Other works from her pen are: _A Warwickshire Lad_, the story of William Shakespeare's early life; _The House of Fulfillment_, a novel; _Abbie Ann_, a story for children; _Letitia; Nursery Corps, U. S. A._, a story of a child, also showing various aspects of army life; _Selina_, the story of a young girl who has been brought up in luxury, and finds herself confronted with the necessity of earning a living without any equipment for the task. None of these has equalled the success of her first book, but that is one of the few successful portrayals of child life in fiction. JUST KIDS _That part of New York City known as the East Side, the region south of Fourteenth Street and east of Broadway, is the most densely populated square mile on earth. Its people are of all races; Chinatown, Little Hungary and Little Italy elbow each other; streets where the signs are in Hebrew characters, theatres where plays are given in Yiddish, notices in the parks in four or five languages, make one rub his eyes and wonder if he is not in some foreign land. Into this region Myra Kelly went as a teacher in the public school. Her pupils were largely Russian Jews, and in a series of delightfully humorous stories she has drawn these little citizens to the life._ THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE BY MYRA KELLY Isaac Borrachsohn, that son of potentates and of Assemblymen, had been taken to Central Park by a proud uncle. For weeks thereafter he was the favorite bard of the First Reader Class and an exceeding great trouble to its sovereign, Miss Bailey, who found him now as garrulous as he had once been silent. There was no subject in the Course of Study to which he could not correlate the wonders of his journey, and Teacher asked herself daily and in vain whether it were more pedagogically correct to encourage "spontaneous self-expression" or to insist upon "logically essential sequence." But the other members of the class suffered no such uncertainty. They voted solidly for spontaneity in a self which found expression thus: "Und in the Central Park stands a water-lake, und in the water-lake stands birds--a big all of birds--und fishes. Und sooner you likes you should come over the water-lake you calls a bird, und you sets on the bird, und the bird makes go his legs, und you comes over the water-lake." "They could be awful polite birds," Eva Gonorowsky was beginning when Morris interrupted with: "I had once a auntie und she had a bird, a awful polite bird; on'y sooner somebody calls him he _couldn't_ to come the while he sets in a cage." "Did he have a rubber neck?" Isaac inquired, and Morris reluctantly admitted that he had not been so blessed. "In the Central Park," Isaac went on, "all the birds is got rubber necks." "What color from birds be they?" asked Eva.
