READA.BLE NOVELS. — Throe Gentlemen from New Caledonia. By R. D. Hemingway

and Henry de Halsalle. (Stanley Paul • and Co. 6s.)—This is a capital story, especially when con- cerned with the sea; if it is rather tentative, that is only what a first novel is likely to be.—The Stolen God. By Dr. Nina Ottmann. (The Carey Press.)—An intimate little account of Indian Palace life, written from the point of view of a medical missionary, but with comparatively little bias.—Queen Anne is Dead. By Patricia Wentworth. (Andrew Melrose. 68.)— Miss Wentworth's story of 1714, of fair lords and ladies, in France and in England, is charmingly written.
