Atalanta has changed its outward form more than once in

the course of its career, but it always sustains its reputation as a

really high.class magazine for girls. All the papers in the January number are good. Exceptionally readable are Mr. Japp's article on Yorkshire and Charlotte Brontë in the series of "Authors' Counties," a paper by Mrs. Sharp on Tunis, and "The Last Lady Cessbrook," by R. Murray Gilchrist. The last -s a genuinely touching story of a couple who come by their own, when the one is paralysed and the other has aged.
