Sister. By E. Everett-Green. (T. Nelson and Sons.)—This is a
type of story that will appeal strongly to girl readers,---the story of a certain " Sister " Lucas, of charming personality, but whose life holds some great sorrow or regret. It is a quiet story as regards incident, though two or three dramatic incidents are introduced, and of course assist the action of the narrative. However, readers of Sister will be satisfied with the quiet, truthful delineation of character, and the gradual development of "Sister's" romantic story. The women are good, and one of the men, though Mrs. Green is not always successful in her portraits of men. " Sister" Lucas is a fascinating study, and incidentally the character of Cissie Wyverne, who tells the story, is brought out with great skill and clearness. The charm of the author's style is present always, and there are few girls probably from twelve to twenty who will not be delighted with this really beautiful story.
