READAIILIS NOVELS.—The Game of Liberty. By E. Phillips Oppenheim. (Cassell

and Co. 63.)—These tales of theft are lazy and inferior work for Mr. Oppenheim, but they are amusing enough.—The Busy Whisper. By Thomas Cobb. (Chapman and Hall. 6a.)—Mr. Cobb's story of scandal- mongers in a narrow social circle is delightfully written; his characters, moreover, are real people.—The Gilllinghans Babies. By Edgar Jepson. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)— A slow-moving, sometimes farcical, mixture of romance and detective adventure.
