READABLE NOVELS.— Arnoul the Englishman. By Francis Aveling. (Methuen and Co.

6s.)—A romantic story of the Middle Ages of more than average merit. Arnoul is an English student in Paris in the days of Louis IX., and takes a part in strifes between the Seculars and the Friars and various private quarrels of his own.—Hilary on her Own. By Mabel Barnes- Gi'undy. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—The old story of the young woman who goes to London to find work and finds a husband, but told with much freshness and force.—The Prime Minister. By Orme Aguas. (Ward, Lock, and Co. 6s.)—An absolutely monstrous plot very cleverly worked into a story.
