A Commonplace Woman. By A. Fraser Robertson. (Religious Tract Society.)—Kate

Crawford, coming to live with her brother and his wife, thinks very meanly of the pair. They are common- place themselves ; they do not appreciate her. How she finds out her mistake is told by Miss Robertson with some skill; but a reader will be apt to lose patience with so very purblind a young person as Miss Kate shows herself to be.
