The Women's Co - operative Guild. By Margaret Llewelyn Davies. (P. S.
King and Son. ls.)—This Guild is described as an "organisation of the women connected with Industrial Co-operative Societies." These societies, which are not as well known as they might be, exist in most towns,—they number one thousand four hundred and eighty-one in the United Kingdom, and have a membership of nearly two millions. The investment of .21 (for which interest is paid) entitles the member to purchase goods as cheap and as good as they can be purchased anywhere, with a further right to a dividend on profits. The writer of this notice receives 5 per cent, on his capital and 2s. 8.41. in the pound on his purchases. Miss Llewelyn Davies gives a number of interesting particulars and experiences, and we commend her little book to our readers.
