READABLE NOVELS.—Anne of the Island. By L. M. Mont- gomery.

(Sir Team Pitman and Sons. 6s.)--Lovers of Anne will be delighted at her reappearance; this book tells of her college Life, and of her engagement to Gilbert Blythe.— The Banner of the Bull. By Rafael Sabatini. (Martin Seeker. 6s.)—Three tales of the career of Cesare Borgia which are spirited and splendidly coloured, more splendidly than the somewhat inadequate frontispiece.—Strasbourg. By Paul and Victor Margueritte. Translated by S. G. Tallentyre. (Smith, Elder, and Co. 5s. net.)—This fine and terrible story of the Franco- Prussian War is one of the four episodes which form Les Braves Gen& Miss Tallentyre's translation appears at a most opportune time. The Man Who Came Bach. By Edgar Jepson, (Hutch- inson and Co. Gs.)—Mr. Jepson's farce is exaggerated and foolish, but it will amuse those who are in an uncritical mood.
