Lily and her Brothers. By "C. C. L." (Griffith and

Farran.)— This is a simple chronicle, bearing every mark of being, what indeed it professes to be, a true chronicle of daily life. There is nothing especially eventful in " Lily's " experiences ; yet the most ordinary experiences, if the writer knows how to deal with them, can become curiously interesting. "C. C. L." has something of this art, and has accordingly made out of quite commonplace incidents a very readable story.
