Boston: Houghton Mif- n Cempany. Great fun to get away from home, times. (Greater fun to get back in). To find Ramon and Rita— the Filipino twins—we have to cross the ocean and, once landed, go out to a little farm near the city of Manila, where the children live with their father. He is a farmer and a fisher- man. A rice farm, which, unless we live in_the -south, seems a queer sort of farm to us. But the two children are not at ali queer. They me just like all the children everywhere. They play and we play with them—not games that we know, nor playthings such as ours, All the better for that. Nobody wants to do the same thing forever and cver. And the lunch is an o0dd lot of food—sort of tasty, though. And the place to take a nap is different as—well as clear across the world. Good times. Nice Kids, those twins. We had a grand trip— glad to be home, though—but a lovely time to remember and tell all the folks about. \WONGO AND THE WISE OLD CROW.
