Lessons on Clothing. By Mrs. W. T. Greenup. (Bemrose and'

Sons.)—A little volume of sensible advice about the choosing of materials for dress, the making, the repairing, and the keeping of it.. Mrs. Greennp, like a thousand moralists before us, denounces the- follies of custom, tight-lacing, and the senseless, indecent fashion- which makes women into " animated lobsters." May she be- more successful titan her predecessors ! This is an excellent little- book.
