Love's Sacrifice. By Mary Bradford-Whiting. (R.T.S. 2s.)— Rose Norton goes

to Germany as a holiday governess, and is peremptorily dismissed, solely to suit her employer's convenience. (Is not the conduct of this same employer a little too out- rageous ?) She has to rely on herself, and finds very efficient support. The story of her Gorman experiences is decidedly amusing. She astonishes the German ladies by her independence and her literary tastes—they, it would seem, are content with the character of the Hausfrau—even her lover, for this necessary personage is, of course, supplied, can hardly understand her. But she has a discipline to go through, and there is a threatening of a tragical end; but such ends are happily confined to the novel proper, and all goes well.
