A Slight Romance. By Edith Leverett Dalton. (Damrell and Upham,

Boston, U.S.)—" Slight" this little study of first love certainly is, but it is well thought out and well written. Graci/is has nothing to do with " graceful " (though one's young friends will persist in thinking so), but it sometimes, in practice, comes to the same thing. Miss Dalton should do well. This, we see, is a second edition, but the book is new, we think, to the English public.
