The Tracy Tubbses. By Jeasis Pope. (Mills and Boon. 3s.
6d.)—This little book, which, it may be said at once, is con- structed on purely farcical lines, contains an account of the astounding adventures which happen to a young married couple who live in the suburbs. The book would be
improved by the omission of the Prologue. It really spoils
the fun to know exactly what "menacing perils," to use the author's phrase, lie in wait for these young people. It
would have been far funnier for the reader to have expected the ordinary story of life in the suburbs, and to be con- fronted without notice by the lion, thy aviator, les. &o. The book is written in the highest spirits, and no one will be able to help laughing over it. Its humours may be a little vulgar, but nevertheless they ire trashand sparkling.
