Before Good - Night. By George H. R. Dabbs, M.D. (C. W.
Deacon and Co.)—Nina was a waif of the streets, who made such a living as she could by selling flowers, in the arrange- ment of which she had a special gift. A lad, who is first begin- ning his week as a medical student, befriends her. He does her some good, and she does him a great deal more. Here comes in a third character, Jute, an orphan who lives with a grandfather, an old soldier. These and other personages of less importance play their life drama—real life, we are given to understand—and Dr. Dabbs tells us how they played it in a very pleasant way. This makes the first half of the book ; the second is a sequel, under the title of " From Door to Door," not quite so successful, we think, because not quite so plain. But here, too, there are some excellent things.
