LADY RICHARD IN THE LARDER. By Constance Miles. (Heath Cranton.

7s. 6d.)—" Holiday reading."

THE LAUGHING PIONEER. By Paul Green. (Gollancz. 7s. 6d.)—Mr. Paul Green's first novel has much of the character of his short stories, but it does not compel us to quite the same degree. The dialogue is good, and the background vividly caught.
