READABLE Novais.—Ursula Vaned. By Arthur Mills. (Bale, Sons, and Danielsson.
6s. net.)—A cheerful story by the author who used to write under the name of " Platoon Commander." The early chapters concerning the lives of three very young men at Sandhurst are the best part of the book.—My Three Husbands. (Methuen. is. net.)—A vulgar little book, which contains, however, rather shrewd comments on life. The author of the story, who writes in the first person, obviously considers that virtuous conduct is one of the things which pay. According to Archbishop Wakeley's comment, he who is honest because it is the beat policy is not an honest man, and the heroine of this story is, in spite of her conduct, anything but a virtuous woman. —Parnassus on Wheels. By Christopher Morley. (Heine- mann. 58. net.)—A charming story concerning an itinerant bookshop which journeys in a caravan on quiet roads in America. The story will give English readers delightful glimpses of the beauty of the American country-aide. — The Poison League. By J. Harris Burland. (Bale, Sons, and Danielsson. 7s. 6d. net.)—A novel of adventure in which deaths and murders occur with awful frequency ; but delineation of character is not what one looks, for in a work of this kind, and the various exciting episodes will keep the reader's attention to the end of the volume.
