DAPHNE ADEANE. By Maurice Baring. (Heinemann. Bs. 6d. net.)—Mr. Baring's

books .will undoubtedly survive, if only because they give a true picture of cultivated English society in the twentieth century. His characters vibrate with life and radiate great charm. The tale he tells is at once moving and dramatic. Daphne Adeane is warmly recom- mended to the fastidious seeker after fiction which can be taken seriously.
