A Thoughtless Seven. By Amy Le Feuvre. (R.T.S.)—This story tells

how some young people are turned to serious thoughts, what difficulties they have, and how these are overcome. It is a difficult subject to treat with tact and taste, but Miss Le Feuvre is not unsuccessful.—Christie, the King's Servant (same pub- lishers), is constructed on somewhat similar lines, though the circumstances and characters described are very different. Mrs. Walton, however, does not commend her views quite as per- suasively.
