This entertaining little book is the story
of the development of young country girl
who comes to make her home with wealthy
relatives in the city. She has beauty,
health and good disposition, but is unused
to polite society, and inclined to rebel
against those little usages which, in city
circles, are indicative of good breeding,
and which can not be violated without loss
of social standing. Little by little she
comes to see, however, that what she calls
Independence is really rudeness, and that
by perSisting in ignoring social rules, shs is
not only drawing ridicule upon herself, but
is making it very unpleasant for her
friends. The story is sprinkled with hints
which will be of immense service to girls
who wish to know Of the minor customs Of
society.

MAGAZINES.
The September number of Harpers' Mag
Gzine is an excellent one. The leading ar
ticle is entitled american Artists at the
Paris Exposition" by Theodore Child. 1t
really comprehends the whole subject of
American art at the present time His
criticism is not dogmatic, but the artists
themselves would be the first to call it au-
thoritative; for it seeks to understand the
temperament and the point OF view of
each--to evoke, to discriminate, to appre-
ciate, to sympathize. The article is &C.
companled by twenty engravings rendering
specimen paintings as perfectly as possible
in black and white. The September rum
Der has other contents which compel notice.
