A Question of Latitude. By L. B. Luffman. (John Lane.
6s.), —The scene of this novel is laid in Melbourne, and the author does not shrink from exhibiting the bad as well as the good side of Australian city life. Although admiring the Australian rela- tions with whom the heroine, Millicent Mainwaring, lives, the- reader will sympathize with that- young lady on her first intro- duction to the difficulties inseparable from Australian life in a suburb. To anyone who had been longing for the experienctk 04! the bush these rather sordid realities must have come as a great shock. At the same time it is very difficult to believe that anyone- as amiable as Millicent would really have looked on without offering to help whilst her unfortunate aunt worked so hard. The book is pleasantly written and the characters are quite adequately developed.
