Ideals for Girls. By the Rev. H. R. Haweis. (J.

Bowden.)-u. A little volume this, appropriately decorated, in which Mr. Haweis discourses pleasantly and wisely to various classes of girls. The classes are necessarily arrived at by eroes-division. The first chapter, for instance, is given to "Untidy Girls," the second and third to "Musical Girls." These, it is clear, are not mutually exclusive. In the same way, it is possible to be both "Parochial" and "Learned," and not less so, for all men gre not partial to dunces, to be " Learned " and "Engaged." This is as it should be. Mr. Haweis takes some prominent feature of character, habit, employment, or condition, and gives some excellent advice suggested by it. Of course the book is slight, but it shows the writer to great advantage.
