Young children will like this book. The child-heroine stayed with

an aunt who was the caretaker of an old manor-house, and she used to roam about the deserted rooms with a feeling of awe and wI I • er. Then she came to know the family, who occasions I stayed in the house, and they told her stories. We like especially "The Yeliow Silk Dress," in which a woman had a becoming frock made for her plain daughter and a very ugly frock for her pretty niece, so that the grandmother should choose the daughter as her heiress. Miss Webb writes with taste and humour.
