Hunter's Marjory. By Mrs. Bruce Clarke. (T. Nelson and Sons.

2s. 6d.)—A pleasantly written story of a girl who grows up half- way through her teens before the knowledge of her father's exist- ence comes home to her. There is no incident of importance, nothing to thrill the reader, and the dialogue and tenor of the story are strictly confined to more or less domestic lines. We may recommend it as suitable food for moments when children do not want to be thrilled. Yet there is a secret chamber, old family prophecies, and a poacher to enliven the uneventful course of the narrative, but nothing, as we have indicated, to alarm the nervous.
