An Affair of Honour. 13y Alice Weber. (Griffith, Farran, and

Co.)—" Alicia Moray, of Moray Moss, Perth, and 14 York Street, Portman Square, London," a somewhat spoiled child, is sent to live with her grandmother, in the hope that country air will bring back the roses which have been lost in London. Her brother's parting injunction has been that she must live up to her name, which (being the same originally as Adeline) means "noble." This little Alice seeks to do, though having been, as has been said, a little spoiled, she finds it difficult. A, very pretty story it is, with a touching ending, but not too sad.
