We Three. By" Yvonne." (W. Isbister.)—There is really very little
to be said about this book, except that it answers sufficiently -well to its second title, "A Bit of Our Lives." There is no par- ticular story in it—" our lives seldom, happily for us, have much story in them—but it is a natural and truthful transcript of what young people do and think about. The "three" are Beatrice, who tells the story ; Florence, a very practical child, who is looking forward to having to earn her own living ; and Jack, a harum- scarum sort of boy whom Beatrice is inclined to spoil, and Florence to snub. Then there is a German " Professor " (who could hardly, if he were rightly so called, have been "out all the morning giving lessons "), and the Professor's kind daughter, Thusnelda. Alto- gether, this is a pleasantly written book.
