OTHER NOVELS. To-Morrow and To-Morrow. By Stephen. McKenna. (Thornton Butterworth.
7s.. 6d. net.) —Those who see in Mr. Stephen. McKenna's trilogy, The Sensationalists, a. brilliant picture of modern life, will admire this novel, which is quite up to the standard of its predecessors. Readers who dislike the whole series will rejoice in Mr. McKenna's declaration that, not only The Sensationalists, but the characters in what may be called the " Sonia " series, here make their last appearance.—Ocean Tramps. By H. de Vere Stacpoole. (Hutchinson. 7s. 6d. net.)—There is very little that is new to say about Mr. de Vere Stacpoole's stories of the South Seas. This volume contains the exploits of two white adventurers who try to win a fortune in the Pacific with little hindrance from moral scruples. The neat way in which this precious couple is in the first story " sold " by superior rogues is extremely ingenious and diverting. Gone Native. By the author of The Isles of Illusion. (Con- stable. 7s. 6d.)—A simple, unsentimental and thoroughly readable novel of the Pacific, set not in the usual Earthly Paradise of the Gilbert Island type, but in Melanesia, where the heat is really hot and the mosquitoes bite night and day, and a man's beautiful native mistress is an old hag at twenty. The whole Problem is treated intelligently rather than brilliantly.
