READABLE NOVELS.—The Temple in the Tope. By S.

Foskett. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.)—The "local colour" of this Indian prize novel is detailed and careful ; its characterization is less satisfactory.—The Romance of a Bed Cross Hospital. By F. Frankfort Moore. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—A story of the first months of the war, filled with appreciation of the Rod Cross workers. The exaggerated satire of the earlier part does not seem to us in the best of taste.—Happy Endings. By I. A. R. Wylie. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)—" The Jonases." which is the best of this mixed collection of comedies, is truly humorous, though a little self-conscious.
