A Woman's Guide to Paris. By Alice M. Ivory. (James

Nisbet and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—This little book, apparently of American authorship (we are told that "in America it is not the custom for a woman to eat in restaurants except under male chaperonage"), looks as if it might be very useful. It tells the reader where she can most conveniently live, what she will have to pay, and what she can see,—also we are told about the woman's wants and what the woman may or may not do ; she may not smoke, for instance, in a restaurant, if she is alone.
