The Etiquette of Tn-day. by Flora Kliekmann (Office of the

Girl's Own Paper and Woman's Magazine, ls. net), is really a very Sensible little hook. This is, we know, very high praise to bestow upon an etiquette-book, and some of our readers will be loth to believe it deserved, never yet having seen snch a work. We feel sure, however, that if they can bring them- selves to give a shilling for a treatise on modern manners they will agree with us. The authoress addressee herself chiefly to girls, and her advice is always directed to make those who seek it inconspicuous and comfortable. She emphasizes the fact that few rules need be observed by sensible and well- intentioned young people, and those she does lay down are reasonable and in the fashion.
