Two Aunts and a Nephew. By M. Betham - Edwards. (Henry and

Co.)—There is a certain freshness about this story. The heroine, Xenia, is of a quite unusual kind; so is her lover; so are all her surroundings. The three American girls who play a not unimportant part in the little drama, are of a more familiar aspect; so are the "Aunts," of whom, however, we do not get any very clear idea ; the nephew is a fine young Englishman, who hides, as not a few of his countrymen do, plenty of romance under a somewhat commonplace exterior.
