My Ladies Three. By Annie E. Armstrong. (F. Warne and

Co.)—The heroine of the tale is charged by her father on his deathbed to marry her guardian, whom she has never seen, and suspects to be an old man. There is a pleasant picture of her life with her aunts and their visit to Tunbridge Wells. The plot is an excellent one, and is so carefully worked out that no accurate guess is possible till a short time before the end. The characters of Miss Arden's two aunts and her scapegrace brother, who outgsows his extravagance and gambling propensities, are well drawn, and altogether it is a very pleasant story.
