The Carrier's Cart. By Catherine E. Mallendaine. (S.P.C.K.) —A pretty
story this of patience and faithfulness rewarded. George Jolliffe makes room in the "carrier's cart" for a young woman and her five-year-old girl. Out of this grows the tale which Miss Mallendaine tells us. We would counsel the author to get some person moderately well acquainted with money matters to look over such passages as concern this topic. Mr. Garland is represented as one who is wrapped up in business, thinking and talking of little else. He makes a moderate in- dependence, and yet, when in the development of the plot it is necessary to bring about his ruin, we are told that, "ashamed of his own ignorance of business details, he had long ago given up asking the meaning of any document he was called upon to sign.' Nothing could be more unlikely.
