68.)—A novel concerned with the first days of the war. The most exciting chapters are those describing the historic hours which ended at midnight on August 4th, 1914.—The Test. By Sybil Spottiswoode. (Skeffington and Son. 13s.)—Deals with the effect of the war on the society of a small county town.

By Leslie Moore. (Andrew Melrose. 5s.)—The adventures of a motherless heroine, who, at first tenderly cared for by a great-aunt, passes later into less congenial surroundings. In the end she succeeds in making a life for herself.—Earthware. By Lindsay Russell. (Cassell and Co. 6s.)—A touch of poetry makes this Scottish novel worth reading.
