Seine Other People. By Alice Weber. (Griffith, Farran, and Ca.)

—Some little people who are just recovering from the measles and feel not a little out of sorts grumble at their lot, though really there was little to complain of. Miss Weber tells her readers how they were cured, in no small measure by being taught to turn their thoughts to others, to how they were living, some enjoying the sunshine which they were missing, and some under far cloudier skies. And then there were. kind friends to help the cure, a very pleasant old maid, an old bachelor, who makes himself more delightful than could possibly have been expected, and other nice folk, old and young. This is a very prettily written story, adorned, too, with a wealth of good illustrations.
