Dora : a High - School Girl. By May Baldwin. Illustrated by

Mabel L. Attwell. (W. and R. Chambers. Ele. 6d.)—In Dora we have a lively story for girls. It is well written, and the interest is cleverly kept up all through. Dora and her younger sister live with their mother in London and attend a Chelsea high-sehool. Just before the story opens, Mrs. Cockburn, the mother, has lost her money ; but the girls manage to make their new life full of interest, and to get into all manner of scrapes and adventures. Dora, who is the clever one of the family, wins all hearts, particularly that of a rich and benevolent old General, who leaves them a fortune at the end of the book.
