Miss Manners. By Aileen Orr. (Andrew Melrose. 6s. net.)- "

Miss Manners" is a domestic deity (more commonly known, we think, as " Mr. Manners") often invoked by the guardians of childhood for the benefit of their charges. She or he is supposed to have special charge of the etiquette of the table. Here she appears in person, and works wonders with some children who certainly seem to have been in want of improvement. The story is prettily told, and the skilful pencil of Mr. John Theetall makes it yet more effective.
