Clare all their rtcomings, in the
way of housekeeping, on account of
the good nature of the former and the

devotion of the latter. We do
not exaggerate in the least, when we

say that this is the most charming
novelette of the season.” —Céivel Ser-
vice Gaselle.

«Though the story is slender, it has
some capital sketching, and abounds
in the characteristic humour and ob-
tion of life which disti ish the
pilings of this author and her gifted
sister. We shall not so far wrong
the author as to tell how Fred's ab-
sence was cleared up and the very
young couple came together again,
older and wiser. But we may recom-
mend the story as delightful reading,
and also the binding, paper, and
printing of the book as most credit-
able to its popular and enterprising
publishers.” —/Mustrated Review,

“ Affords some excellent sketches
of private life in pursuit of comfort
under difficulties. The first evening
of a newly-married pair, in rather
economical lodgings, is happily ren-
dered.” —Morning Post.

“The history ofa young husband
and wife, who begin life in a small
lodging in a country town—he as a
bank clerk, and she asa childish little
housekeeper. . . The story is
well and clearly told.”—Dazly News.

‘A simple story of true love, told
with much grace and naiveté.
One of the most readable and attrac-
tive tales of the season.’ —Sunxday
Times.

THE PRESS.

‘CA very lively and pleasant little
tale, vivid in its interest, and the har-
rowing part of it not too prolonged
for endurance, nor too artfully shaded
to leave a loophole for the entrance
of a beam of hope. The talks be-
tween the very young couple before
the crisis of the story, and the con-
duct of the young wife after it, are
both given with true spirit, and the
pathetic part carries the reader's
heart with it. Moreover, the
lively rattle of the story is not better
painted for us than the tension of its
deeper interest and the happy exulta-
tion of its close.” — Spectator.

““The young wife relates her own
distress so touchingly that she quite
wins our sympathy.” —A ¢heneum.

“Many readers will welcome this
author once more, her ‘Journal’ hav-
ing left pleasant impressions on the
memory. ‘The story of the mistakes
of inexperienced housekeepers is by
no means new, but it is here told
with much freshness and vivacity.
The wife takes the reader into her
confidence, and most will sympathise
with her thoroughly, except when she
is too exacting in requiring her hus-
band to spend every spare moment
in her society. ‘Trouble overtakes
them, and their whole horizon be-
comes dark for a time, only to
brighten, however, into a new dawn.”
—Globe.

‘*To those of our readers contem-
plating matrimony at too early an
age, we would suggest the perusal of
this every-day story, which bears ali
the traces of being true to the life.”
—Belfast News-Letter.
