READABLE NOVELS.—Two Lovers and a Lighthouse. By Gertrude Page. (Hurst

and Blackett. as. 6d.)—The story of an irregular alliance contracted by a Cabinet Minister and a lady who escapes from an unhappy marriage. The scene of the story is laid in Cornwall, and the descriptions of the coast scenery are very well done.—The Inheritance of Joseph Biggs. By William and Winifred Gun. (J. Ouseley. 6s.)—A. modern novel on the old- fashioned theme of children having been changed at nurse. If the improbability of the central fact is overlooked, we readily admit the ingenuity with which the idea has been worked out.—The Mistress of Shenstone. By Florence L. Barclay. (G. P. Putnam's Sons. 6s.)—A society story of a double impersonation and its somewhat embarrassing results.
