RZADABLII NOVELS.—Two Little Parisians. By Pierre Mille. Translated by Berengere
Drillien. (John Lane. 3s. 6d. net.)—A little study of two children which may be tolerable in the original French ; in a translation it has no especial charm, and shows little intimacy with the mind of a child.—The Grip of the Past. By John A. Steuart. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.)—Politics, an election, society, and a well-kept though unimportant secret go to the making of Mr. Steuart's book, which, if in no way remarkable, is at least wholesome and serions.—Madeleine at her Mirror. By Marcelle Tinayre. Translated by Winifred Stephens. (John Lane. 6s.)—A very feminine collection of the slightest little sketches of men, women, and things ; they are not without delicacy, but rarely penetrate below the surface.—The New Guv'nor. By John Barnett. (Wells, Gardner, Darton and Co. 6s.)—Mingling in the life at " Dunbary" the traditions of many existent public schools, Mr. Barnett has written a really excellent school story, with a spirit of romance which never slips into sentimentality.— A White Passion. By A. B. Teetgen. (Same publishers and price.)-1 first-hand account of the founding of a prairie hospital in Alberta, amid incredible difficulties ; it is cast in the form of a novel, but the slender romance is carefully manipulated so as not to interfere with the main interest.
