Us and our Empire. By Amy Le Peuvre. (R.T.S. 2s.)—This

is quite a book of the day, the day of Scouts' Brigades and the like. The boys and girls of whom we were told in Miss Le Feuvre's Us and our Donkeys have now a League of Empire. They talk about it very much as real children may be supposed to do, and there are real happenings, as when one of the girls, half in mischief, half in curiosity, gives an alarm of fire to test the nerves of a somewhat boastful brother, afterwards making up for it by courageously rescuing a child from under the wheels of a cart. It i3 a pretty story with an excellent moral.
