The Cheltenham College Ladies Magazine, Autumn. (T. Hailing, Cheltenham.)—It is
not often that we see a college or school magazine so good in quality. The writers have a " college " qualification, now and then a little extended, as when a " son-in- law" contributes a lecture on " A Tour Round the World," but generally maintained. Among the more important articles are one on "Spanish Literature," another on "Shakespeare and the Supernatural," and a third in which two contributors discuss with vigour the question "Does the use of slang improve our Language ?" Bat perhaps the most generally interesting thing in the number is a letter from Dr. Lillias Hamilton, one of the English ladies in Cabul, about whom we have lately been some- what anxious. Miss Hamilton did not go in a medical capacity, but "to show the Queen accomplishments." She is allowed to practise, but not to ask for fees ; what is offered to her she must report. She gives a most amusing account of her journey ; a narrative of her experiences will, we hope, be forthcoming. The magazine is wisely published three times a year only, but made of a respectable size, extending to nearly two hundred pages.
