The Three Graces. By Evelyn Everett-Green. (Andrew Melrose. 3s. 6d.)—There

is no need to say much about this book. It might serve well enough for a novel of the ordinary type, only with nothing in it that could be objected to. The story begins with a marriage,—the mother of the "Three Graces" takes a second husband. This brings in Jim, who is to be the hero; he is some- thing of a cub, but then the cubs of even fine creatures are some- times clumsy. The story is good enough, and, as we have said, quite blameless.
