.In
the
Ethel Lina White's novels always well worth reading. her latest, "Fear Stalke Village," included in Ward. Luck and Company's Colonial Library series, she maintaina hor reputa- tion as a clover delineator of character. The story is concerned
A
bý
with the outbreak of a series of anonymous letters which disturb the social life of a quiet little village and which lead to generai distrust and even tragedy. The clues which led to the labyrinth of a poisonous mind are cleverly followed up, the reader's Interest being held to the very inst. distinctly engrossing novel.
"God's Clearing House," Valentine, also in Ward, Lock and Company'a 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 girl and a famous K. C. and is noteworthy less for its merits as a story-good as these are-than os a remarkably fine study of charac- ter. The dialogue right through the book is permented with clever wit, showing the author at his very best. Thoroughly recommended.
શ
W.H. 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 of bewildering happenings and baming murder in a house reputed to be haunted by a sinister figure wearing a crimson mask. The theme is admirably developed and the elucidation of the mystery pro- vides a really thrilling climax. Holds the reader's attention to the very fast 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 expross train and it tells of how one of the PRE-
sangers becomes involved in a net- work of thrilling. conspiracy sur- rounding the deed. A decidedly woll-told story, with plenty of excitement,
