READABLE NOVELS.—The Guests of Hercules. By C. N. and A.
M. Williamson. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—This is a story of Monte Carlo and of a young lady who, recognizing she has no vocation to be a nun, repairs thither in the reaction of her emancipation from the convent. The descriptions of the rooms are well done and the story is entertaining.—The Victories of Olivia. By Evelyn Sharp. (Macmillan and Co. Gs.)—A book of very harmless and rather attractive short stories, of which the one which gives its title to the book is tho best.—Tom Bart Brown. By Wilfred Beet.
(Wilfred M. Webb. Os.)—The boy hero is an excellent figure, and so is his friend Fairfax, the artist ; the story itself and the other characters are inferior.—The Chief Commissioner. By Blida M. Swabey. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—A clover story of Indian life. Tho characters are well drawn, but it is a pity that one cares about none of them.
