SOME BOOKS FOR GIRLS.
A NEWNHAM FRIENDSHIP
By Alice Stronach. With 6 Illustrations by Harold Copping. Crown 8vo. $1.25.
In A Newmham Friendship we have a description of life at Newnham College. Carol Martin, a third-year student, befriends a "fresher," Elspeth Macleod, a shy, sensitive Highland girl, who has worked her way from a board school to college. The enmity of a fellow-student and a mystery about some parodies cloud Elspeth's happiness for a time. But the clouds clear. Men students play their part in the story, and the closing chapters describe the work of some of the girls as "social settlers" in the east of London.
