READABLE NOVELS. —The House. By Katharine Tynan. (Collins. 9s. net.)—It
will be some time before the reader will realize that the country house in which the opening scene of this book is set is not, as is usual with Mrs. Tynan's novels, in Ireland. This time the story is concerned with an English county family, of which the eldest eon has leanings towards Socialism, studies the land question in a practical warmer on a farm, and finally marries the very attractive daughter of a Labour leader. The book is exceedingly pleasant reading.-- Sir Waterloo. By Alfred E. Carey. (Selwyn and Blount 8s. 6d. net.)—A novel of the year 1833, the most interesting parts of which are concerned with the extraordinary difficulties of the first railway companies in gaining Parliamentary sanction
for their enterprise. The life of nearly a hundred years ago is well realized, and the whole book is very well worth reading.
