READABLE NOVELS.—Peter's Predicament. By Florence Scannell. (Heath Cranton. 6s. net.)—This
is a story of some people who habitually wasted their time amusing themselves before the war, and who required a violent shock to show them that there was something more than society and sport to be got out of life. It is gracefully written, but the reader will have more than a suspicion that the whole dramatis personae will relapse into their old ways as soon as they forget the series of events which overtook the world between 1914-18. It is to be hoped, however, that the Super Tax will so impoverish them that they will be unable to return to their former entertainments.
Seven Journeys. By Dorota Flatau. (Hutchinson. 75. 6d. net.)—A story of reincarnations. The different circumstances in which the hero and heroine encounter. each other through. the ages are ingeniously devised.
