BROTHERS IN LOVE. By Joan A. Cowdroy. (Sampson Low, Marston

and Co. Os. net.)—The dust cover of this book illustrates a gentleman apparently feeling a lady's pulse. Another narrow picture on the back shows an invalid propped up on a couch. These pictures are more typical of the book than is usually the case, for it is concerned entirely with the physical condition of the principal character. People who like reading about sickrooms will doubtless enjoy the book ; but it is decidedly morbid in tone.
