Roses. By Amy Le Feuvre. (Hodder and Stoughton. 2s.)— This

is a pretty little story. " Dimple," who comes to disturb the peace of Mrs. Fitzherbert, as every one in the house is sure, turns out to be a quite delightful child, not too good to live, but just the happy mean that man does not wish to part with nor the gods to take. The scene in which the child is stolen, as she thinks, by Lady Dorothy, and reclaimed by her champion Archie, is very good, though the presence of the policeman is a trifle farcical.
