READABLE NOVELS.—The Marriage Lines. By J. S.. Fletcher. (Eveleigh Nash.
6s.)—Two sons, one legal and wicked, the other illegitimate and delightful, their wives, a, father who dies intestate, an undiscovered and rather un--. necessary murder, are deftly woven into the plot of Mr. Fletcher's novel.—Carmen and Mr. Dryasdust. By Humfrey, Jordan. (G. P. Putnam's Sons. 6s )—A clever, ironical, affected story of Cambridge University—The Test. By M. McDonnell Bodkin. (Everett and Co. Gs.)—This first-, rate melodrama of crime, with its most exquisite villain, is marred by the absurd device of presenting two hundred, and eighty pages as an after•-dinner story.—Second Nature. By John Travers. (Duckworth and Co. 6s.)—We wish that Mr. Travers would give us a more generous. measure of his knowledge of life in India, without clothing it in conventional romance. Joan, however, is a heroine full of interest.—The Pot o' Gold. By Marian Keith. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.)—There is a good deal of religious sentiment in this story of Canada, but it is sincere and charmingly written.
