But in Our Lives. By Sir Francis Younghusband. (John Murray.

7s. 6d.)-Evan Lee was a rare spirit, imbued with the -quintessence of romantic idealism. This story depicts his brief passage through school and Sandhurst, through the joys, vexations, and vicissitudes of subalternhood in India ; the bitter-sweet of unrequited love, profound religious experi- ences, the death of his mother and of almost all his friends, and the tragedy of his own untimely death as. a political- officer on the Frontier. A sincere and sometimes beautiful book.
