READABLE NOVELS.—A Marriage has been Arranged. By R. S. Maenamera.
(Edward Arnold 62.)—It is an enormous pity for every one concerned that the marriage of the title was ever arranged at all. Disaster followed it, and the war provided the only respect- able way out of the situation in which the characters find themselves finally involved.--The Pope's Favourite. By Joseph McCabe- (Hurst and Blackett. 6e.)—Nothing less than the Holm of Borgia provides the dramatis personae for this volume. The author succeeds in making Pope Alexander a living character, but Cesare Borgia is only a shadow.--Capfaia Gardiner of the International Police. By Robert Allen. (Hodder and Stoughton. 5s. )—This is a story of the future, and shows how hopeless it is even for a great International Alliance to try to get rid of a party which will never learn that the best way to ensure peace is to be ready for war.
