girls to select a calling as was taken al
Ambitious Boys last year, in giving
like Information to boys. 1t is equally
elevated in tone, and like its companion
volume, it is thoroughly practical. An
important part of the work is the prac-
teal information in almost every sub
ject about where to turn. The require
ments for admission to leading colleges
for girls are shown at length; the course i
of study for eXpectant teachers in the /
public schools; full information from |
the largest hospitals on the necessary |
steps for becoming a trained nurse; |
courses of study necessary for the WO- |
man lawyer, doctor, preacher, dentist, |
and so through the whole list. The |
practical parts of the books, girls who |
desire to become Self-suppOrting win |
find invaluable. Alternate chapters give |
valuable advice on the subjects consid- |
cred by successful workers in their own
fields and by the best classical and mod |
ern writer's. New York. Thomas Y. |

1.-THE Turn of the Road" by Eugenia
Brooks rockingham, is a novel that
will win many readers and high praise
tdeserVedly. 1t is a Well-fniShed piece
of literary art, and the interest aroused
with the opening pages increases as the
story develops. Some Of its incidents
are full of dramatic force, but as al

lures, meant to be companions, but
kept apart by the Woman's dream OF
a successful career in art. The author

in keeping with their character. Only
four have leading parts, and these are
all winning in their personality. The
movement of the story carries its prln-
cipals across the ocean, and one OF
them makes a sOrrowful journey to the
