Housekeeping. By Mrs. Humphry. (F. V. White and Co.)— Mrs.

Humphry describes herself by the nom. de plume of " Madge," which she is accustomed, it seems, to use in the pages of a well- known weekly contemporary. Whether any of the matter here put together has before appeared, we do not know ; but we may say that the volume before us is a very sensible and useful hand- book. By "housekeeping" is meant, it must be understood, not the management of the kitchen and storesreom only, but what may be called the whole duty of woman.
