We confess to searching the pages- of The Book of

-Etiquette.

(Associated Bookbuyers Co., 12s. 6d.) with the anticipation of writing a jesting paragraph or two ; instead, we read with.. interest and approval. The appearance of a book of etiquette is a healthy sign in a nation : no one can logically deny this who believes that " manners mak3rth man." . Although we cannot claim to be experts in this literature, we believe, none the less, that it would be hard to find a more sensible modern guide to social conduct than the two wise and agreeable, volumes which Lady Troubridge has written. * * * *
