A Miss in Her Teens. A Tale for Gills. Translated

from the German of Caroline Helm, by Rhoda E. Colborne. (Kolek- mann.) — This is an unpretending little story, which, without much plot, or any subtle study of character, yet manages to interest the reader. It is a picture of German home-lifo in one of its most attractive aspects, with the proper admixture of sentiment, without which a tale could hardly claim to have a raison d'etre.
