READABLE NOVELS.—The Bakes Progress. By Marjorie Bowen. (W. Rider and
Son. 2s. net.)—A story of the fashionable world in London a century ago. We miss the historical setting which has elsewhere inspired the authoress.—The Holiday Round. By A. A. Milne. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—Mr. Punch has delighted many readers through the pen of "A. A. di.," and they will be glad to have a whole volume of his sketches to dip into for as long as they like.— Valserine. By Marguerite Audoux (Chapman and Hall 6s.)—Thirteen very slight sketches, showing the simple and careful observation of the authoress of "Marie Claire," bound up with English translations by Mr. J. N. Raphael.—Meadow- sweet. By Baroness Orczy. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.) —A story of sisterly jealousy, composed with rather too obvious artificiality in a setting of eighty years ago.
