The Orderly Officer. By Harold Avery. (S.P.C.K.)---This is an excellent

little story, suggesting its moral in about as tasteful and gentle a fashion as can be imagined. The "orderly officer" is a young girl, who takes a kindly interest in two old soldiers, who, to her astonishment, "find" entirely for themselves. Respectable men they are, though with a certain weakness for drink, but careless of religion ; how they are brought to more serious thought is admirably told.
