Morning Hours in India. By Elizabeth Garrett. (Triibner and Co.)—This

little volume will help to give those wives whose desti- nation is India, a fair idea of what their lot is likely to be, and how household duties are arranged there. The writer lays stress upon the important point that, sooner or later, Anglo-Indians have to part with their children, and that children should receive plenty of attention if the effects are meant to last during years of absence. Several recipes and some useful tables are given, and the writer's remarks are couched in a sensible and straightforward style.
