    Probably Miss Ada S . Ballin is right in her preface to her new volume on * The Science of Dress , ' when she accounts for the comparative

    i failure of previous works on this subject by saying I that they have been written for women by men [ who — obviousl — — - — — — --- y _ could ~ - _ — ~ . not — - - -enter T — — — — into __— — — the —— — feelings . __ _ — —^

    and conditions ^ _ of their _ readers . It _ requires ^ " ^ a " ^ woman to write on these subjects . A man , no matter how clever he may be , is bound to make

    slips which , substantially trifling in nature , in the eyes of the sex constitute a very grievous mistake , and conclusively prove that he knows nothing

    about the subject he is writing upon . Miss Ballin , however , comes upon the scene doubly equi Xpped JLAT as it were . She is a woman , and — she

    has studied her subject , as her previous works have evinced , very thoroughly . The result is shown in a remarkably interesting and practical

    «/ fTTJ 1 volume which , both on health grounds and from the standpoint of general utility alike , should have a wide circulation . The authorin the first place

    considers , as bewaring on her subject , , the very im- , portant considerations of heat and cold , and from thence passes to the question of clothingthe

    various portions of which she systematicall , y details . The volume is distinguished by some excellent diagrammatic illustrationswhich further

    emphasise , in a very marked manner , , the earnest practical advice contained in the text . On the whole it forms a valuable contribution to the

    knowledge of a most important and serviceable subject , and as such it should be read by all . From the same . —In ' Utopian Dreams and Lotus

    Leaves / Mr . Geo . W . Warder has written a volume of pleasant and tuneful , though unequal verse — _^ which _ , — _ — should . _ p ., _ ....... appeal — j ^ . _ — _ . to . _ the hearts .. ___ of _ „

    many , when more pretentious j ^_ work would doubtless fail . The author's muse is dictated by a naturally tender and affectionate dispositionand

    it has a charm which the verses of many other , ' fairl poets Mm lack emblematic . We extract of the the ature following of % — t ? Jjtp ^ ' \ u ^

    The book is intended to supplement Mr . Lane-Poole ' s ' Selections from the Prose Writings of Jonathan Swift . ' That work showed Swift as an

    author ; the aim of the present volume is to show him as a man . Quoting the words of the editor , * It is not the stylebut Swift the manin whom

    we are - interested - ~ r - ~ ^ - ; , and — - ~ the - , letters _~ ~ and w ^ , H j ournals » W ^^^^ - *^ —^' are chosen with a view of illustrating his manner of lifehis friendshipsand tastes—to show

    us the satirist , at homewith , his armour offthe cynic , delighting in the , society of the few peop ; le whom he excluded from his general

    condemnation of the " animal called man . "' At the first blush this would seem to be a difficult task , remembering the varied humours of the erratic

    dean . But it will be admitted that Mr . Lane-Poole , by his selection and arrangement of the letters the world and — j a ournals picture , has that g will iven appeal a just strong picture lto to

    JL t JU O y •/ the fancy of all admirers ^ of the mighty apostles of learning who flourished in the last century . The notes are carefully given ; in factthey are

    unusually good , being evidently drawn , from recondite sources . "We hope that the volume will have the success which it undoubtedly merits .
