A Disputed Heritage. By Evelyn Everett-Green. (The Pilgrim Press. 8s.

6d.)—Mrs. Everett-Green is not afraid of well-worn

themes, but she always treats them brightly and pleasantly.

When Alys Rivers first goes to Riversmeet and is told that she looks far more a Rivers than the young owner thereof we began to suspect something, and our author does not disappoint us.

She does not even shrink from children changed at birth. All ends, however, delightfully, after just enough trouble to prove to the hero of what fine stuff the heroine is made. One protest we must make against Mrs. Everett-Green's London geography: Golden Square, though undoubtedly an unusual spot to live in, is not in the City.
