THE BRIDE'S GROOM. By G. V. McFadden. (The Bodley Head.

7s. 6d.)—Miss McFadden gives us in The Bride's Groom one of her careful and interesting studies of early nineteenth- century life. The actor hero is rather an attractive figure, and the setting of the story in.the Westeountry with interludes at Weymouth is very well given. It is pleasant for a short time to live in a more leisurely world than our own, and Miss McFadden may be trusted to provide her readers with- this kind of refreshing interlude.
