An Island Interlude. By John Amity. (John Long. 3s. 6d.)

—An Hand Interlude is a slight but pleasant novel in which a man of forty makes acquaintance with a young and pretty girl whom he believes to be the penniless companion of an elderly woman with money, and finds that the girl is the heiress and the 44 woman the companion. Situation and chairagsralare pietur.

esquely imagined, and the story is good to while away an idle hour.
