READABLE NOVELS.—A Son of the Sun. By Jack London. (Mills

and Boon. 6s.)—Eight more South Sea stories ranged round one central character: they tell vividly of hurricanes or of trading, with some humour and no great excess of horrors.— The Mystery Woman. By Mrs. Campbell Praed. (Cassell and Co. 6s.)—This treats seriously and cleverly of occultism, but air anarchist plot has to be dragged in to complete it.
