READABLE NOVELS.—Sareel. By Edith Dart. (Philip Allan and Co. 7s.

6d. net.)—A West-country story of a workhouse girl who goes out as a servant to a farm situated on the moors. The gradual development of the girl's character is well done, but the end of the book is perhaps not quite convincing.— Beryl in India.—By B. Wingfield-Stratford. (Books, Limited. 6s. net.)—The story of an unfortunate marriage which is compli- cated by the supposed death of the husband in the war. His return leads to further tragic developments. The local colour is satisfactory, and the final situation develops on rather unexpected lines.—Jack 0' Judgment. By Edgar Wallace. (Ward, Lock and Co. 6s. net.)—An account of a gang of criminals whom a mysterious figure pursues and finally defeats. Many of the incidents are very exciting reading.
