READABLE NOVELS.—Totty. By Bertram Smith. (Harper and Brothers. 3s. 6d.)—An

amusing collection of schoolboy stories. —The Dazzling Miss Davison. By Florence Warden. (T. Fisher Unwin. 6s.)—A story with a mystery which will be rather trans- parent to the practised reader. Miss Davison's adventures are, however, excitingly told.—A Stormy Morning. By Lady Napier of Magdala. (John Murray. 6s.)—A society novel in which the necessary complications in the love interest are perhaps a little forced.—God in San Dam. By F. Blount Mott. (Greening and Co. 6s.)—A striking story of religious influence working on a society corrupted by cupidity and vice.—Aent Maud. By Ernest Oldmeadow. (Grant Richards. 6s.)—A love story which might be taken as an apology for the mariage de convenance.—Love and the Poor Suitor. By Percy White. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—A curiously inconsequent tale, but with some good character- drawing and excellently written.
