Marriage. (Hodder and Stoughton, Ltd. 7s. ed. net.) A collection

of short stories round this central theme. It contains one tragic story by Mr. Hergesheimer, an attractive, sentimental story by Miss Mary Stewart Cutting, and a study of a dull pair and their two children by Miss Alice Duer Miller, which has but one serious defect. The rest are samples of " slick " magazine machine work, which, however, gain a certain interest from their juxtaposition. In the copy submitted for review one story is put in with some pages in reverse order and some blank.
