READABLE NOVELS. —The Story Girl. By L. M. Montgomery (Sir Isaac

Pitman and Sons. 6s.)—A pleasantly fanciful picture of young life in which the chief figure is a great actress of the future.-4 Rolling Stone. By B. M. Croker. (F. V. White and CO. 6s.)—A very pretty love story from which we learn how a stone is made to stop rolling.— Unconfessed. By Maxwell Gray. (John Long. 6s.)—The setting of the story is excellent; the story itself is not so good.--The Voice of the Forest. By Joseph Burtt (T. Fisher Unwin. 6a.)—A powerful story of the traffic in slaves as it is still, or was but recently, carried on in Africa.—In Different Keys. By I. A. H. Wylie. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)—The minor key predominates, but we are allowed some relief. All the twelve tales are effective.
