Latter - Day Sweethearts. By Mrs. Burton Harrison. (T. Fisher Unwin. 6s.)—This

is an Anglo-American novel of which the scene is laid on the Atlantic and in Europe. The first half of the story takes place on the as. 'Baltic,' on board of which almost all the characters of the book are passengers, and gives an entertaining picture of life on a big liner. The two American heroines, Helen Carstairs and Posey Winstanley, are well con- trasted in their very different types. They are both extremely beautiful and attractive, but not in the least original, being examples of well-known classes of American women in fiction. The book is very light in texture, but is cleverly written, and ha. a good deal of charm.
