Lore's Crossways. By Mrs. A. EI Diehl. (Digby, Long, and
Co. Gs.)—In Love's Crossways a romance of extravagant improbability is played within the precincts of a ladies' College The College itself is a romance and an extravagance,—the colossal whim of a City millionaire. In Miss Poyntz, the lady warden, are combined amusingly the characteristics of the schoolmistress and the pre- tensions of the great lady. It is a severe blow to her when three mysterious ladies with a glamour of foreign wealth and rank are introduced into the establishment by the arbitrary will of the genial founder, Sir Joseph Blunt. Worse still is the blow to her feelings when a handsome young foreigner of the forbidden sex is appointed director of the ladies' sports and pastimes. The handsome director of sports brings in an equally handsome friend, and a complicated double love-story is brought to a happy conclusion under the veiled chaperonage of Sir Joseph himself.
