OTHER NOVELS

God's Infidel. By John Freeman. (Williams and Norgate. 7s. 6d. net.)—The study of a pious agnostic who is hardly used by the world. The author appears to be well aware that the sacrifice of the youth of the Professor's daughter to the care of his senile' decay will enrage the modern reader. He therefore kills off his hero in the last chapter and provides a successful love affair for Jean.- At the Sign of the Blue Moon. --By-D. B. Wyndham Lewis. (Melrose. 5s. net.)—This book is unkindly described by the publisher as being by " The New English Ilumourist.I' But Mr. Wyndham Lewis is worthy of a more generous description than this. Like all satirists, he, of course, takes the fads and foibles of the day for his material, and "Plonk," by "Luny Boned," a play in seven • scenes, which occupy about four and a half pages, is a really funny skit. The book is very entertaining, but rather fatiguing to read if taken in large quantities.
