: The Plague of His Own Heart. By Mrs. Wilfrid

Ward. (Hutehinson. 7s. 6d. net.)—Mrs. Wilfrid Ward writes with knowledge of that post-War world which, by amusing itself, endeavours to recover the irrecoverable, and when she strikes a deeper note recalling the spiritual dearth of the age she does so simply and naturally. Her story is concerned with the coming together of a divorced husband and wife and with those who stand for or against them during their separation. It is a sincere and distinguished piece of work.
