“The subjects of her essays vary pleasantly and they are all written in a purely literary style. Her vivacity is not nervous, but intellectual, and the thread of her thought is so interwoven with the golden warp of older writers like Johnson, Montaigne and others that for once we have the tone of time upon the fresh tapestry of modern life. Her reflections shade back into old philosophies. All are seasoned with that pleasant gossip which a good-tempered intelligent woman has acquired from a wide knowledge of and close friendship with the best writers of the last four hundred years.”

[*] Repplier, Agnes. In our convent days. [**]$1.10. Houghton.
Charming personal reminiscences of the author’s childhood in a French-American convent school. The stories are real, they are true to human nature, true, so those who know declare, to the atmosphere of the school itself, and certainly true in that many of the little girls who lived and had adventures and murmured profound confidences inside those convent walls are prominent women to-day.
