The Scarlet Button. By Kate Mellersh. (R.T.S. 2e.)—There are the

usual characters in this story, the naughty pair and the

good, the good getting the better in a way that is worthy of all

praise. We must not give away the surprise of the story, but there is no harm in saying that the moral is an excellent one : the

truest courage is that which overcomes fear. It is thus that Joan gets the best of all possible revenges on those who had troubled her.
