Kipling's "They."—st Rose of Old Quebec. By Anne Hollingsworth Wharton.
(J. B. Lippincott. Company. Is. net.)—The romance of a girl who loved Lord Nelson; it is hampered by the writer's style, which is stilted and uncom- fortable.—Lady Sylvia's Impostor. By Thomas Cobb. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)—Mr. Cobb's love story is very pleasant if somewhat improbable : it is concerned with people who are all nice, and directed to an ending that is entirely happy. — Westways. By S. Weir Mitchell, M.D., LL.D. (T. Fisher Unwin. 6s.)—A most leisurely story of America and of the war between North and South, as it touched the life and happiness of a family and of a village. —The Man Upstairs. By P. G. Wodehouee. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—The fact that Mr. Wodehouse's nineteen stories have already appeared separately leads to a foolish repetition of one or two ideas and jokes; otherwise they are no better and no worse than the average magazine story.— Dust from the Loom. By Edward Noble. (Constable and Co. 6s.)—This pleasant romance of the Navy is weighed down with Spanish terms and broken English; it may be recommended to those who care nothing for style.
