(G. P. Putnam's Sons. Se. 6d. net.)—This little romance is told by means of letters, some gossiping, some of criticism of books and art; they are dainty and attractive enough, as are Mr. Wilson's picture headings.—Mostly True. By Gny Fleming. (Longmans and Co. 45. net.)—A collection of stories, as short as they are clever; in them tragedy prevails, or rather a mingling of drama and gloom which is hardly great enough for the name of tragedy.—The Impossible She. By R. Ramsay. (Constable and Co. Gs.)—A great deal of hunting, a little melodrama, and a multitude of people without much individuality provide here pleasant reading for a winter's evening.—The Stranger at the Gate. By Mabel Osgood Wright.

Is. 6d. net.)— The wilderness is Behar, and the letters, though concerned chiefly with trivialities, do show to us, with more insight than is usual in such books, the life and person of the writer.— The Leaning Spire. By George A. B. Dewar. (Published by the author.)—We are glad that Mr. Dewar has reprinted, from the Saturday Review and the Westminster Gazette, his brilliant little stories and sketches, written in admirable English.— Millionaire's Island. By Max Pemberton. (Cassell and Co. 68.)—An exciting story of a British Peer who tries to start
