The Heart of Una Sackville. By Mrs. George de Horne
Vaizey. (S. W. Partridge. 2s. 6d.)—Una Sackville leaves school on p. 1, and on p. 330 describes herself as unspeakably happy because a certain Will clasps her hand in his and cries "At last ! " What happens in the intervening time she relates in her diary, and does it very well. There is the serious element and the humorous, and both are well managed. Midas, the financier of the future, is particularly good.—By the same author, published by the R.T.S. (3s. 6d.), we have The Fortunes of the Farrells, quite a nice story, with a pecuniary Providence attending on the good, while the selfish and unprincipled are brought to grief.—A Highland Lassie. By May Baldwin. (W. and R. Chambers. 6s.)—This is a story of troubles in family life. Mysie and her little brother come home from India, and there are differences between them and the elder children. These differences become more serious than it is easy to imagine possible. Hamish is a villain of the melodramatic sort, and could hardly find his way into the home which Miss Baldwin describes for us.
