Into Untried Paths. By Isabel Stuart Robson. (R.T.S.)—This is a
pleasant story that runs on very familiar lines. Margot Dimont a spirited girl endowed with much force of character, is -compelled by pecuniary "family misfortunes" to take the position of governess in the family of Mrs. Bechervaise, of Bechervaise Hall, which lies among the Shropshire hills. It need hardly be said that she discharges her duties with the utmost conscientiousness. But she is treated with a courtesy and is allowed an amount of freedom of action that arc uncommon privileges for a person in the position of a governess. Thus she is placed on the footing of a grown-up sister not only to her charges, but to their grown-up brothers, Terence and Angus. Margot has a rather responsible but also a happy time of it, and in the end of the story marries Angus Bechervaise, the head of his house, after, however, a carriage accident has been the means of his religious " conversion." The story runs smoothly and naturally.
