READABLE NOVELS.—Sir Sender O'Halloran, V.C. By Harold Vallings. (J. W.

Arrowsmith. 6s.)—A modern story of which the hero is a gallant and adventurous Irishman. —Max. By Katherine Cecil Thurston. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—The story of a Russian Princess who disguises herself as a youthful painter of the male sex and has numerous adventures in Paris.—The Broken Sword. By Morice Gerard. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.) —This is a spirited story of the critical time when the invitation to William of Orange from the great English nobles was in preparation.—The Amazing Mutes. By Ward Muir. (Stanley Paul and Co. 6s.)—This is a very amusing little comedy, worked up oat of "a. week in lovely Lucerne."—The Pilgrim. By Arthur Lewis. (W. Blackwood and Sons. 6s.)—A story of the days of Hildebrand. The Pope and his surroundings interest; but we do not care about the "Pilgrim" and his love affairs ; nor can we believe in the least in Angharad's disguise.
