The volume: ends with "The Swindler" a collection of eleven Phort stories. Ethel Dell is a writer of bygone ways bygone, days and and therefore her books have a special interest, lo readers of to- day! They serve as a record of those pre-war days, when every girl dreamed of going out to India and meeting an "Ethel Dell man!" And when there really were quite a number of serious young men with high ideals and ambitions for them to meet. Just the men, in fact, who volunteered in hun. dreds to fight for Britain in 1914 and who were wiped out in the slaughter which followed.
To the girls and young men of to-day this type seema incredible: yet it really did exist, and it has perished, and perhaps it may never again re-appear! For this reason, therefore, if for no other Ethel Dell's novela should be treasured 49 & record of thoga romantic days which ended with the Armistice.

["The Port of Fragrance," by Putman Weale; Noel Douglas, 7/6.]
in
According to the cover this book gives "an ungrossing, picture of "the
European community
daily "Hong Kong, about their "business of politics, soldiering! "and commerce, and their recrea-
"lons of racing, tennis, and in- "trigue." It does nothing of the kind. This novel is by no means Putman Weale at his best, and Hong Kong readers especially will be far from satisfied with it. The story, which contains two vicious triangles, deals with the trouble- some times Hong Kong experienc- el in the unhappy year nineteen twenty five, and the highly colour- ed descriptions and remarks illus trate very clearly the bias of the writer's mind. Into the mouth of n Dutch woman of questionable reputation are put a lot of nine teenth century imperialistic slo- gana
which thinking people to- day consider dangerous and in- practicable. Nor is life in Hong Kong so artificiál as the writer would have his readers believe. In many ways it is, indeed, bad enough, but were it one half as frigid and immoral as "The Fort of Fragrance" auggests few of us should care to remain here
Hong Kong deserves much bet- ter treatment than this.
