TI'HURIEL'S HOUR. By Joanna Cannan. (Hodder and Stoughton. 7s. 6d.).—Ithuriel learnt all about "pukka Sahibs" when he watched a Himalayan climbing expedition and saw the two men who hated each other reach the summit. Incident abounds—but Miss Cannan, from whom we expect much, has taken her characters from stock, and is worried about the Social Order.
