Ada Hatherley at School. By Constance Evelyn. (Religious Tract Society.)—Ada

Hatherley is an impulsive, somewhat head- strong girl of fifteen, whom her parents, having to make a journey to America, determine to leave for a year at a boarding-school. How she troubles herself and others there, and how she is broken in, is told in this volume. The episode of Mrs. Treby and her grand-daughter is good in itself, but seems to us hardly in place in this story.
