READABLE NOVELS.—Married Quarters. By David Lyall. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.
net.)—Gives an account of an unequal marriage during the war. The end is perhaps not very convincing, but the description of the hero's home over the grocer's shop at Stoney Markyate is written with much discernment and sympathy.—Drunts Afar. By J. Murray Gibbon. (John Lane. 7s. net.)—The hero finds himself at the outbreak of war in the United States on an errand in the prosecution of which sentiment and business alike seek to detain him. In the end he is rewarded for doing his duty and joining up, by being followed to the scene of war by his Amerieanfiascie, who becomes a nurse. —Ladies in Waiting. By Kate Douglas Wiggin. (Hodder and Stoughton. 7s. net.)—A series of prettily drawn though sentimental stories with cheerful endings. There appears to be not a word about the war in the whole collection.
