OTHER. NOVELS.—Christabel. By Edith Henrietta Fowler. (Hutchinson. 8s. 6d. net.)—The
story of an unequal marriage between a girl hardly out of the schoolroom and a middle- aged man who had already been married twice. Christabel's friend, the Dean, who on more than one occasion gives her some good advice, is worth meeting, and comedy is represented in the book by a very much caricatured uncle and aunt.—Hosts of Darkness. By Ariadna and Harold Williams. (Constable. 7s. 6d. net.)—An admirable picture of Moscow under the Terror, when all life was reduced to the expression of one emotion—Fear. —Booty. By Douglas Grant. (Hurst and Blackett. 8s. 6d. net.)—A thrilling account of the adventures of a famous pearl necklace on its way from this country to America. The double love story, which is worked in with the main theme, is of minor significance.—The Little Red Speck. By Beatrice Grimshaw. (Hurst and Blackett. 8s. 6d. net.)—Twelve rather sensational stories of life on the South Sea Islands, of which " The Shadow of the Palm " is, undoubtedly, the most convincing.
