Mr. Wells, dimpled you veteran of a hundred literary, feasts! He has taught us more than most of our school- masters ever did. De lighting, infuriating and excling, in scores of untidy, sprawling "lived books he has aloud." And now, he has taken time off from prophecy to hand us, in Brynhild (Methuen, 7s. 6d.), a long novel about pomposity and love.

She is passed off as an heiress: her reputed father gally through most of her fortune: lord marries her to get what little cah is left: and she is shut up in a draughty castle while both familles argue feverishly about the cost of the coals for the drawing-room Arc.
Naturally, in a novel of this kind, things can only go one way-from Bad. lo Worse. And when the ford as to have an heir santehow or other, and the skeletons in his cupboard rattle so loudly that they can be heard in the servants' hall, we are soon at the death-without-glory släge.

League of Nations now? Sometimes the question comes jceringly, sometimes pity- ingly. But I think I know the rough answer.
The League will go on. And the Lenguo wilt develop. (Were i des- troyed by some catastrophie, It would be recreated.) But it will develop into something decidedly different from the design of 1910.
I suppose that that, in the eyes of arthodoxy, is heresy. But facts are more important than dogmas. And the fact is that institutions under pres Kure of reality always grow to some- thing which their first designers never foresaw. Things change: and must adapt themselves to environment it they are to survive.
At the moment the League is in rapid evolution. And it is now more important than ever to think clearly and calmly about the possibilities of Its future.
