The Englishwoman's Year - Book. Edited by Emily Janes. (A. and C.

Black. 2s. 6d.)—This, the twenty-sixth issue, gives the customary information about education, employments and pro- fessions—with special treatment of various occupations of all grades—art, music, sport, public work, philanthropic and religious activities, homes, and, finally, religious work. The vexed question of the employment of barmaids is left without a definite pro- nouncement, but not without a warning that it is not an eligible occupation. The book seems accurate and complete, and we congratulate its promoters on its continuation of its useful career.
