"The Be.auforts of Beatrice Gardens" is an exceptionally promising story

by L. T. Meade, which has been begun in the "The Be.auforts of Beatrice Gardens" is an exceptionally promising story by L. T. Meade, which has been begun in the July number of the Quiver. The relations between Mr. Beaufort, a self-conscious, disappointed literary man, who occasionally recalls Harold Skimpole, but has not Skimpole's good temper, and his daughters and niece, are admirably brought out. This is a very good number of the quiver. Some of the illustrations are remarkably lifelike.
