LIFE'S LITTLE LAUGHS. By Melesina Seton Christopher. (Longman. 6s. 6d.)

LIFE'S LITTLE LAUGHS. By Melesina Seton Christopher. (Longman. 6s. 6d.) IT is sad indeed that this little collection of essays is the last we shall see from the gifted pen of Mrs. Seton Christopher. Shortly before her death last year she had begun to arrange her essays, some of which had appeared in our columns, for republication. She wrote, as our readers may remember, with charm and insight of the lighter side of feminine life. Very perfectly she could reproduce " the enchantingly inconse- quent chat of children," the amusing incidents of a journey and the little domestic dismays and triumphs of the home- maker. Her pages are full of fun and good sense.
