OTHER NOVELS.—Till a' the Seas Gang Dry. By John Inns.
(Dent. 7s. 6d. net.)—A novel of the Scottish school, a good example of a good type. There is the usual stern theology vivid phrasing, and continual humour. The characters are stoutly individual, and the plot, though melodramatic, is well handled.—Sayonara. By John Paris. (Collins. 7s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Paris (the author of Kimono) is successful in showing that the Japanese and the English have irreconcilable habits of mind ; but his English characters are muddled and lifeless , creatures. We have grown cold to tales of " the missionary's sin." The Fortunes of a Household. By Harman Robbers. (Allen and Unwin. 7s. 6d. net.)—A realistic account of the financial troubles of a Dutch publisher. The translation, by Helen Chilton and Bernard Miall, is colloquial and fluent ; but the trail of dots, about fifty to a page, aggravates the slowness of the whole story.—Bread. By Charles Norris. (T. Fisher Unwin. 7s. 6d. net.)—An American girl struggles through existence and finds nothing very satisfactory in it.
