READABLE NOVELB.—Mary Grey. By Katharine Tynan. (Cas- sell and Co.
6s.)—A modern story of a girl brought up in a sphere higher than that in which she was born, and of the admirable way in which she rises to the situation.—Follow Up! By Archi- bald Douglas Fox. (Brown, Langham, and Co. Es.)—A story of Harrow School. The descriptions of cricket matches will prove exceedingly provoking to Etonians.—The Coward behind the Curtain. By Richard Marsh. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—A very sensational story, not quite as carefully constructed as it might and should have been.—The Missioner. By E. Phillips Oppen- heim. (Ward, Lock, and Co. 6s.)—A powerful story of English life. We must own that we do not quite understand the hero. —The Gates that shall not Prevail. By Herbert M. Farrington. (John Lane. 6s.)—This is another " Missioner " story. Here we are puzzled by Violetta.—A Comedy of Mammon. By Ina Garvey. (E. Grant Richards. 6s.)—A picture—or shall we say caricature?—of fashionable life. We could have done without "Amy Robinson."—Thrice Captive. By Major Arthur Griffiths. (F. V. White and Co. 6s.)—A tale of adventure in the early days of the eighteenth century, in which Lord Peterborough is the most interesting character.—A Prophet's Reward. By E. H. Strain. (W. Blackwood and Sons. 6s.)—A story of Scottish life in the days just before and during the French Revolution. We are happy in being reminded of R. L. Stevenson.
