NEW NOVELS.
Irá the
Ethet Lina White's novels are) always well worth reading. her latest, "Fear Stalks Villnge," included in Ward, Lock and Company's Colonial Library series, she maintains her reputa- tion as a clever delineator of character. The atory in concerned with the outbreak of a series of anonymous letters which disturb the social life of a quiet little village and which tond to general distrust and even tragedy. The clues which led to the labyrinth of a poisonous mind re cleverly followed up the reader's interest being held to the very inst. A distinctly engrossing novel,
"God's Clearing House," by Valentine, also in Ward, Lack and Company's Colonial Library, will be welcomed by all admirers of the work of this talented novelist. It is the story of the married life of a pleasure-loving young society gir! and a famous K. C. and is noteworthy lers for its merits an a story-good as these are--than as a remarkably fine atudy of charac- ter. The dialogue right through the book is permeated with clever wit, ahoying the author at his very best. Thoroughly recommended.
of
W.II. Lane Crauford also figures in Ward, Lock and Company's latest issues with "The Crimson Mask," a most exciting mystery story dealing with a series bewildering happenings and 13 baffling murder in a house reputed to be haunted by a sinister Ögure wearing a crimson mask. The theme is admirably developed and the elucidation of the mystery pro- vides a really thrilling ellmax. Holds the reader's attention to the very last page.
Those in search of a really good thriller should not overlook "The Mystery Hand," by Ben Bolt, an other of the Ward, Lock Colonial Library series. An old hand at this type of novel, the author has put some really good work into this book. The story opens with a murder in an express train and it tells of how one of the pas-1 sengers becomes involved in n net- work of thrilling conspiracy aur rounding the deed. A decidedly well-told story, with plenty excitement.
