When Love Flies out of the Window. By Leonard Merrick.
(C. A. Pearson. 6s.)—Love is very likely to fly out of an honest tnan's window when through his sheer inability to make money his wife has to return to the stage and to endeavour to support him. And it is rather to his credit, though exceedingly hard on his wife, that such should be the case. This is a novel of the smaller paths of journalism and of unavailing knocking at humble stage-doors. From these beginnings the heroine, how- ever, ultimately rises into making a great success. The opening chapters, in which Meanie gets entrapped into an engagement at a low Paris café, should prove a useful warning to girls who accept posts abroad about which they are ignorant. The book is readable, but not nearly so clever as 1301113 of Mr. Merrick's former work.
