READABLE NOVELS.—Calfrae's Comedy. By Gladys Parrish. (William Heinemann. 6s.)—There is

good work in Miss Parrish's novel, and she will write still better when she has gained experience and has rid herself of vagueness.—A Lion, a Mouse, and a Motor-Car. By Dorothea Townahend. (Si tnpkin, Marshall, and Co. 6s.)—A simple and amusing tale of how a very ingenuous girl gained experience of the world. —The Golden Moment. By Anne Topham. (Andrew Melrose. 6s.)—If any one cares to read a novel all about Berlin and full of German expressions, Miss Topham has written a good story very well.
