The Elder and his Wife. By the Author of "Rob

Lindsay and his School." (T. N. Foulis. is. 6d. net.)-There is something of the gentle sadness of old age in these little sketches of the villagers of Maxiebrae seventy-five years ago. The author gives us a pleasant impression of the old friends of his childhood and of their simple, hard-working lives. The book is illustrated by Miss Preston Macgown.
