RELDABLZ NOVELS. Mary AU Alone. By John Oxenham. (Methuen and

Co. 6s.)--A pleasantly written novel about a girl who, dowered with the fatal gift of beauty, has the usual struggle to make aIiving, she having received no particular training which fits her to do one thing more than another.—Daphne in Paris. By the author of "Daphne in the Fatherland." (Andrew Melrose. 6s.)=-A cheerful story about the same young lady who appeared before as a visitor to Germany. There is some hope that as she marries her lover at the end of the book she will not be able to visit the remaining capitals of Europe.—The Terrors. By Archibald Marshall. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—A collection of stories, of which "The Terrors," which gives its name to the volume, is by no means the best. Perhaps the picture of that genuinely admirable person, the good British upper servant, in "A Son of Service," is the most successful piece of work in the book.
