OTHER Novnrs.—Billa of Ingleside. By L. M. Montgomery. (Hodder and

Stoughton. 7s. 6d. net.)—Those who became enamoured of " Anne " in her Green Gables days and kept company with her in her House of Dreams will be glad to meet her again and to follow the fortunes of her daughter Rilla- in War time and after.—The Gift of Paul Clermont. By Warrington Dawson. (Heinemann. 7s. 6d. net.)—An original story of a French boy of unfortunate parentage, who was adopted by a well-to-do American, who watched over his career and tells his story. How the War broke in upon the peace of the village of Verviller is well described.—Boccoco. By Marjorie Bowen. (Odhams Press. 7s. 6d. net.)—There is a fantastic unreality about the whole of this book which suggests a carnival. Every- one seems to mock everyone else, and the author's Italian Dukes and desperadoes are as highly coloured and as amazing as ever.
