READABLE NOVELS. —The Story of Jenny. By Elizabeth Southwart. (Erskine
Macdonald. 'Is. 6d. net.)—A detailed diary of the experiences and reflections of a mill girl. The first entry is made when Jenny is twelve years old, and tbo book ends with the disappearance of her lover in the war. The story, which is a prize novel, is told with much quiet competence and gives promise that good work may be expected from the author in the future.—England to America. By Margaret Prescott Montague. (Doubleday, Page, and Co. 5s. net.)—A tiny volume containing the story of the sacrifice made by an English family in the country to enable an American comrade of their son to enjoy his leave in England. It is written with much delicacy and understanding, and should contribute more than a little to the good understanding between the two countries.
Revelation. By Dulcie Deemer. (Fisher Unwin. 8s. 6d. net.)—This story gives a good picture of Jerusalem in the days of Tiberius Caesar. It would perhaps be in better taste if the author had not bent the Gospel narrative and the Acts to the purposes of her novel.
