It is a most amusing tale of English middle- life where the struggle for refinement on slender means brings pathetic Mid sometimes laughable results.

His story, "The Squire," in the February number, is a *brand new treatment of the political side of city life, and it possesses elements of promise and per­ formance which mark the author out for a future.
