READABLE NOVELS. —Some Further Adventures of Mr. P. J. Davenant.

By Lord Frederio Hamilton. (Eveleigh Nash. 3s. Od. net.)—" P. J." is already well known as a detective on the track of German spies. This second series of adventures is even more thrilling than the first, and is written with the samo engaging humour.—Second in the Field. By Thomas Cobb. (Chapman and Hall. 6s.)—Mr. Cobb writes, as usual, of gossiping folk and social relationships. His characterization is true, and his style is never exaggerated.—The Golden Slipper. By Anna Katharine Green. (G. P. Putnam's Sons. 6s.)—A collection of quite undistinguished detective stories.
