BOOKS FOR GIRLS.

THE KAYLES OF BUSHEY LODGE. By Vera Dwyer. (Milford. 6s. net.) "Bushey Lodge" is situated in a suburb of Melbourne. "It stood far back in a grassy space of ground well shaded by several old trees—a flowering pittosphorum, two Cootamundra wattles, a line of feathery peppers, and a few gums." Plainly it was not like an English suburban residence. The family who live there are not like an English family, but they are charming, good, unconventional and amusing. Nothing much happens and the right people marry. The book is intended as a gift-book for girls and will, we are sure, give great pleasure and prove a delightful relief from the ordinary Christmas schoolgirl novels which flood the market.
