604. The Lion Battalion. Story 2. (See [No. 21].)
605. Little Meg’s Children. (See [No. 49].)
606. Scenes in a Children’s Hospital. By L. Burke. (R.T.S.) 1s.
Interests the mothers greatly.
607. Wee Willie Winkie. (Cassell) 1s. 6d.
The beginning, being an old fisherman’s difficulties with a baby rescued from a wreck, is much enjoyed. The latter part is neither so natural nor so effective.
608. What a Man Soweth. By G. Stebbing. (Nisbet) 3s. 6d.
A boy perverted by his mother laughing at small pilferings. The conclusion is improbably happy, but the tale is excellent.
609. The Storm of Life. By Hesba Stretton. (R.T.S.) 1s. 6d.
A painful but very effective story of a poor woman just out of prison striving to redeem her character and save her little girl from her wicked husband. The only flaw in the book is the disregard of baptism for a babe only born to die.
