THE accompanying caricature by Roy C. Nelson would indicate some such innocent title as "The Children's Hour," but four or five Hop, Skip and Jump Cocktails will demonstrate that this édition is no juvénile. Likewise one can never be too sure of the single en tendre of Dorothy's poems. Take this—which is almost Verbatim—from her latest book of verse for children: When Like a candie You are lit Not knowing Why Or what about, Then when you're least • Expecting it Without a word You're out. Lit like a candie, oblivious to ail your surround- ings, then without a word you're out. Is this the sort of poetry for our innocent babes? Dear, dear, what is the world coming to?
