Work, and How to Do It. Edited by Mrs. Jerome

Mercier. (Wells Gardner and Co.)—This is the second edition of a very useful little book, the object of which is sufficiently described by its second title, "A Practical Guide to Girls in the Choice of Em- ployment." Nursing, teaching (of various things), needlework, telegraphy, the work of clerks and book-keepers, millinery, &c., housework, nursery work, dairies and laundries, work in shops and factories, and out-work, are the subjects treated of. A new -chapter has been added on hair-dressing, and a section on church- -embroidery. Much useful information is given in the appendices.
