Messrs. Methuen are to be congratulated on their 35. 64.

series of-new full-length novels. We have just read one of the latest : Footsteps in the Night, by Mr. C. Fraser Simpson, Ind were delighted with it. It is a brightly written adventure 'tor y with a pleasant vein of hutinour and a strong, logical plot which does- not need underpinning with coincidences or ximplexities.. We hope Messrs. Methuen's good example sill be emulated by other publishers. • * * *
