Book of Dress. By Mrs. Douglas. (Henry and Co.)—We shall

briefly commend this volume—one of the series entitled " The Victoria Library for Gentlewomen "—to our readers. Mrs.

Douglas would follow the golden mean between the " hygienic faddist," to use her own phrase, and the slave of fashion. As to material, she is an adherent of Jaeger. " Dress in Town," " Dress in Country," are among her subjects, and what she says will be found worth reading and considering.
