READABLE NOVELS.—In Russia's Night. By Olive Garnett. (W. Collins, Sons,
and Co. 6s.)—Gives a detailed picture of the life of an Englishwoman married to a Russian before the war. The author writes with full knowledge of her subject.— The Lyndwood Affair. By Una L. Silberrad. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—Miss Silberrad takes for the foundation of her plot a question as to the disposition of property by will. Sir George and Lady Lynd- wood both die in the same night, though in different places, and the wife's natural heirs seek to establish the fact that she did not predecease her husband, and when that is impossible, that al e was a victim of foul play.—The War-Workers. By E. M. Debt. field. (William Heinemann. Os.)—A most amusing study of a young woman of the modern type who is absorbed in war work as Director of the Midland Supply Depot. In this office she runs hos- pitals, canteens, &c., &c., and the portrait drawn herein will not fail to remind readers of several women war-workers who do not allow their light to be hidden under a bushel. In spite of the author's obvious predilections, the reader will very often sympathize with the official point of view, for which there is a great deal more to be said than appears in these r ages.
