Only a Girl : a Tale of Brittany. Adapted from

the French by C. A. Jones. (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—This is a pathetic story of the Breton maiden, Francoise Dane. We find her an orphan in the first chapter, and leave her in the last solitary, with her hopes of happiness disappointed, yet not unhappy, because her heart is wholly given to caring for others. Miss Jones has not only made a good choice, but done her task well.
