Through Lattice Windows. By W. 3. Dawson. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—The

title of this book, of course, suggests "A Window in Thrums." The plan, however, is not to tell what an observer sees through his or her own window, but what can be observed through the windows of others. The interest of the book has, if the phrase may be used, two centree,—the church with its curate, Mr. Iteckitt, and the chapel and its minister, Mr. Shannon. The people who have to do with these places and persons are vigorously drawn, with now and then a relieving touch of humour.
