:OTHER NOVELS.—Seibert of the Island. By Gordon Yung. (Fisher Unwin.
7s. 6d. net.)—An interesting story Of: the South Pacific. The plot and character drawing are cgcellent, but the construction is exceedingly confused and the thread difficult to pick up. Yet the book gives a very striking picture of the life of Europeans in the Tropics.—The Scented Lath. By Anthony Drummond. (Fisher Unwin. 7s. 6d. net.)—A story of post-War Russia. The description of a train journey from Moscow to South Russia is sufficiently striking for the reader to be annoyed by the rather clumsy sensationalism of the title. The Russian Revolution is quite sufficiently melodramatic for the chief device of a rather bogus secret society to be redundant.—Name the Woman. By gm. C. N. Williainton. (Methuen. 7s. Od. net.)—An account
of a platonic elopement which is a legal subterfuge to enable the wife of the hero to obtain a divorce. The talc is rather far=fetched and not very credible, but some of the yachting scenes are prettily written.
