Uncle Peter's Riddle. By Ella K. Sanders. (G. Bell and

Sons.) —Molly Demeter is a spoilt child, who is as selfish and trouble- some as such creatures commonly are. She has to go through a pretty severe discipline of trouble and sorrows before she is brought to a better mind. This is told in a pretty story, helped out by some good illustrations.—With this may be mentioned That Bother of a Boy, by Grace Stebbing (Jarrold and Sons), which appears in a second edition. Hero we have a spoilt boy, a still more vexatious creature than a spoilt girl.
