READABLE Novin.s.—The Red Fleur - de - Lys. By May Wynn.o. (Stanley Paul and

Co. 6s.)-1 good story of the French Revo- lution of the senaatus' nal kind.

(Harper Brothers. 6s.)—Impressions of travel in Mexico, scarcely improved by the love-making.—The Partners. By Kate Helen Watson. (Hutchinson and Co. Os.)—A powerful "tale of the nor'-west coast of Australia," but we do not admire Miss Watson's heroine.—The Shadow of Power. By Paul Bertram. (John Lane. Os.)—A somewhat grim, powerful story of Spanish rule in the Netherlands.--The Bees. By M. Ellen Thonger, (Chapman and Hall. Os.)—The " Bees " are three children—triplets—who exercise a most wholesome influence on the fortunes of some "grown-ups," a very pleasant story.—The Stnugglers. By Molly Elliot Seawell. (Macmillan and Co. 3s. 6d.)—A charming story of French life.—Princess Katharine. By Katharine Tynan. (Ward, Lock and Co. 6s.)—Tho heroine is a fine study--a noble woman hampered with unworthy surround- ings—and the whole story is not unequal to the central figure.
