READABLE NOVELS.—Towards Morning. By I. A. R. Wylie. (Cassell and
Co. 7s. net.)—A rather grim attempt by an English author to describe the conditions of German life. The hero is unable to pass his examination, and has to serve during the war as a private. The last chapters are melodramatic, but the earlier accounts of educational and other conditions in Germany are striking.— That Which Bath Wings. By Richard Dehan. (W. Heinemann. 7s. net.)—" Richard Dehan " always writes with vigour, but in this novel the tendency which she has previously exhibited towards exaggeration is too strongly marked for the book to be taken seriously. It is impossible to regard the characters as contem- porary human beings, and the Boy Scout, who plays a prominent part, is a terrible specimen of his kind.—In Our Street. By Peggy Webling. (Hutchinson and Co. Gs.)—An account, in the first person, of the life of the inhabitants of a small street in a suburb of London. A certain amount of amateur spiritualism is described in the book.
