Mitt Carmichaers Conscience. By Baroness von flatten. (C. A. Pearson.

2a. 6d.)—It is difficult to say more for this pretty little book than that it is a pleasantly written story with no great pretensions to do more than pass agreeably some half- hour of its reader's time. The characters are ladies and gentle- men, and talk and behave "as such," and the story possesses the virtue—by no means a constant quality even in clever writers— of being readable.
