St. Nicholas Magazine. (Macmillan and Co. 8s.)—St. Nicholas really seems

to meet the requirements of a magazine which can be given with equal appropriateness to boys and girls ; the letter- press is chiefly of a kind that will interest both. This is entirely as it should be ; magazines written especially for either, more particularly those written for girls, would be the better for the greater variety of subjects shown in this magazine. The system of having six complete stories in place of a serial seems an excel- lent one, the tales themselves, notably that by Allen French, being very good reading.
