READABLE NOVELL—Half a Bogue. By Harold MacGrath. (Gay and Bird.
6s.)—An American story, made up of love and municipal politics, which seem to be more interesting there than they are here.—.A Mirror of Folly. By Harold Wintle. (Brown, Langliarn, and Co. 6s.)—This is a powerful tale of modern society. The Marquis is excellent, but Sir Person Mole somewhat melodramatic.—The Bay of Lilacs. By Paul Waineman. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—A tale of life in Finland, strongly tinged with the melancholy which is common in Scandinavian fiction. —Dr. Manton. By Morice Gerard. (John Long. 6s.)—A sensational story of attempted murder and kidnapping. The novel is exciting and very fairly put together. —Dr. Burton. By Archibald C. Gunter. (Ward, Lock, and Co. 6s.)—A series of adventures somewhat in the manner of Sherlock Holmes. The first story is specially ingenious.—The Face of Pan. By Frank- fort Sommerville. (Macgregor, Reid, and Shaw.)—These stories are based on the pagan elements in the modern world. The best is that which gives the book its name.
