THE FOOL OF DESTINY. By Rolf Bennett and Kathe- rine

Harrington. (Hutchinson. 7s. 6d.)—An amusing piece of commercial fiction of the film-serial type, unhampered by any attempts at characterization or realism. In the first fifty pages you are served with shipwreck, a dope fiend, a cocaine-suicide, a secret pearl fishery, a pair of true lovers, and an astounding number of journalese cliches.
