"A Background for Caroline," by Helen Ashton; Ernest Benn, 7/6.] This book has all the quiet dis- tinction that we look for in Miss Ashton's work Caroline's back ground, in her early years, is that at the very respectable and Vie- torian Bloomsbury of the late nine- teenth century before the stately Adams houses were invaded by the Bohemians and students who haunt ita squares and paint its dignified rooms with orange and purple, Her father, Σ nervous lonely scholar, lives with her and she shares his work and interests, un- moved by any emotional stress be- yond a pathetic and half-hearted flirtation with a young Irishman who has "a way with him" but refrains from winning her utterly, realising with 4.5 uncommon decency and sensitiveness that he could make her happy as a lover, but not as a husband.
The outbreak of war finds her staying with friends in Germany, whence she escapes with difficulty, and returns to London, to find her- self restless and insufficiently oc- cupied, so trains as a nurse. While she is in France, she is fascinated by, and gives herself to an Ameri- can doctor, who leaves her without a word. It is not until her late marriage that she finds happiness which is all too short, but the author leaves her recovering from her overwhelming grief again at peace and in security.
The whole story is told in plain subdued tones, but with its gentle, if sometimes slightly bitter, truth of observation, and its simple but always clear and easy manner of narration, it is artistically, and in tellectually satisfying.

SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

? and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that save you the trouble of writing Home.
In the whirl of trying Hong Kong summer rendered all the more unbearable by the acute shortage of water, letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the most ardent correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China news every week by. means of a subscription to the "Overland China Mai."
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and-only cost of H. $3.75 for three months, the "Overland China Mail" will be sent Home for you every week, catching the mail regularly. It contains just the news, features and pictures from the daily "China Mail" that make a studied appeal to people with any interest whatsoever in Hong Kong, and many letters testify to the keen pleasure and interest its weekly arrival brings.
For your folks at Home to receive this weekly budget, or to keep yourself posted with affairs during your absence, all that you have to do is to drop a chit to the "Overland China Mail.”
The word "Overland" is a reminder of the experience behind the production, it having been published since the early days of the Colony, to be sent OVERLAND because there was no Suez Canal, and that was the quickest route by which to get mail Home. In the march of times, the "Overland China Mail" has become the only weekly news budget which has pictures. It is made just to suit requirements, as it has done all along. What more could be desired?
This week's number is well up to the high standard main- tained all along, reflecting the developments and views in 'Hong Kong and China, and full of interesting reading matter.
