BY REQUEST. By Ethel M. Dell. (Fisher Unwin. 7s. 6d.)—Written

" by request " of some of her readers, Miss Dell's new novel describes the love romance of Peggy Musgrave and Noel Wyndham, who figured in a previous story. " Noel the Wonderful " was " Pegtop's " chum in childhood. He went abroad and forgot her ; but she, having to accompany her father to India, miraculously rediscovers -him and marries him after a hectic series of jealousies, disillusionments, and dangers. In mingling sensation with sentimentality Miss Dell's hand has lost none of its cunning.
