Her Friend and Mine. By Florence Coombe. (Blackie and Son.>
—The " friend" is Winifred Trent, at first the pet aversion of two sisters named Summer and Winter. How a close friendship sprung up between them is very prettily told ; the story also has many humorous touches which will endear the book to many readers. For some considerable time we thought the two sisters very much older than they actually were, and when their ages are- casually mentioned they seemed to have acted in a very grown-- up way. An observant reader will notice that in one place the. cost of something is put at a franc and on other occasions English money is mentioned. An explanation that in Guernsey, the scena- of the story, French as well as English money is used, would have cleared up any possible doubt as to the usual currency.
