in Paris from the _lettre de cachet_ which would bury him in the Bastille. "Has evidently been a pleasure to write, and makes very enjoyable reading."--_Literature_. --Girl Neighbours. With 6 Illustrations. 3_s._ A story for girls, told in that quaint, delightful fashion which has made Miss Tytler's books so popular and attractive. The introduction of the two young ladies from London, who represent the modern institutions of professional nursing and schools of cookery, is very happily effected. "One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Sarah Tytler's stories. Very healthy, very agreeable, and very well written."--_The Spectator_. ALICE CORKRAN Margery Merton's Girlhood. With 6 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 2_s._ 6_d._ The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her father--an officer in India--to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris. The accounts of the various persons who have an after influence on the story are singularly vivid. "_Margery Merton's Girlhood_ is a piece of true literature, as dainty as it is delicate, and as sweet as it is simple."--_Woman's World_.

On their limited means this was hard work, but their courageous experiment was on the whole very successful. "A story of endeavour, industry, and independence of spirit."--_World_. ALICE STRONACH A Newnham Friendship. With 6 full-page Illustrations by HAROLD COPPING. 3_s._ 6_d._ A sympathetic description of life at Newnham College. After the tripos excitements, some of the students leave their dream-world of study and talk of "cocoas" and debates and athletics to begin their work in the real world. Men students play their part in the story, and in the closing chapters it is suggested that marriage has its place in a girl graduate's life. "Foremost among all the gift-books suitable for school-gi
