BLACKIE'S GIRLS' ANNUAL. (Blaekie and Son. 5s.) This book will

be really useful in the Christmas holidays. It does not entirely depend for its attraction upon its fiction. A little play well worth the consideration of the schoolroom ; attractive patterns for needlework ; good hints on gardens, and plenty of information about " careers " will make its study a pastime. It is a gift-book to be recommended.
