Dear Lady Bountiful. By Katharine Tynan. (Ward, Lock. 7s. 6d.

net.)—There is only one bad character in Mrs. Tynan's new book, but even she is hardly sufficiently dis- agreeable, though she tries her best to counter-balance the extreme amiability and virtue of all the others. Readers who particularly enjoy hearing of virtue rewarded will feel com- pletely satisfied by the time they turn the last page.
