The Paris excursion, upon which Dora has insisted,
does not seem likely to conduce to the reputation or
profit of either husband or wife. Kate Fane is a
Provoking character, who seems able to do much
better than she ever does through her perversity and
selfishness. " Notes of a Curious Man" contain
some sad sketches of life, that are told in a feeling
manner and in an impressive style. " The Little
Garden" is the beginning of a tale that seems an
attractive one. Its descriptions are given in an
aohnated form, and the incidents are exciting and
interesting. " For Gentlemen Only" is a paper

it refers to the " aesthetics of dress" in connec-

vantage of those who dress without regard to suit-
ableness or economy. " Tapos, the Notary of

Vramatic one, told in a spirited manner. " A

heroines in a very effective style. "Tornadoes"
