We gladly renew our annual welcome to the year's volume

of Aunt Judy's Magcnine, edited by H. K. F. Gatty. (Bemrose and Sons.) We hope that it holds, and will continue to hold, its own against all rivals, so thoroughly good is it of its kind. There is a tie of affection and of sympathy in good work between it and its clientele which distin- guishes it from ordinary literary ventures. Its contents are as judiciously varied as ever,—fun and earnest mingled together in just proportion.
