Fantasies from Dreamland. By E. Gilliat Smith. Illustrated by Flori

van Acker. (Elkin Mathews.)—This is a poetical version of St. Dunstan's dream, while waiting for King Edgar's appearance to say Mass. The book is well got up, and the illus- trations are adequate.

Two useful little volumes belonging to "The Every-Day Help" series (Walter Scott) are Thrifty Housekeeping and Home Cooking, both by Florence Stacpoole. Both are full of excellent advice. Our readers should specially note the words of wisdom about servants in the housekeeping book.
