THE OTHER MAN. By Katharine Tynan. (Ward, Lock. 7s. 6d.)—"

' The lady of the house is at home,' I said. ' Her name is Mrs. L'Estrange and Miss Patsey is at home if you'd like to see her.' He sent witherin' glares from his eyes and handed me the card. ' Take that to Mrs. Vance,' he said. I remarked that it was no good arguing with him, and came out with the card. I am sorry now I didn't say yez were both out.' ". A very good example of this author's quiet and humorous art.
