READABLE NovEL.s. — Tales of Secret Egypt. By Sax Rohmer. (Methuen and
Co. 6s. net.)—The principal sketches in this book relate the adventures of a gentleman who is employed in very shady business concerned with sham antiques. In pursuit of his commercial affairs he has many hairbreadth escapes, and is frequently rescued from mortal peril by one Abu Tabah, who is a mysterious Government agent.—Crucifix Corner : a Story of Everyman's Land. By C. N. and A. M. Williamson. (Same publishers and price.)—The heroine of this story begins her adven- tures by perpetrating an inconceivably mean piece of deceit. The book contains her informal diary—most of the good stories and gossip which have collected in the course of four years in the Front Line. It is very amusing reading, and the stories, if not true, are at any rate ben trovato.
