In "The Crinkled Crown" we have William le Queux at his best. Around the famous and priceless" crown of Ivan the Terrible, the author has woven one of his most dramatic stories, showing how One of the most deeply-laid schemes

ever hatched by ro- volutionaries against the pence and safety of the world was foiled. If you ke William le Queux' books, you will be held in the grip of this story and will find it all that you expect in a mystery tale.

"Gold in the Dust," by E. Maria Albanesi, is simple little stor extremely well written. Circum stances put Susan Weston Into the Bannerton household as a maid, where she is convinced that there is some great mystery about her- self. What that mystery is, and how it is connected with the Bannerton family, is unfolded in a very charming story, in which rumanee plays a prominent part. "Gold in the Dust" is an ideal story to take up during the after- tiffin rest.

Apropos to Mr. Li Yau-toun's recent investiture, it is understood that the members of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerco gave a dinner at the Tung Yat! Restaurant last night in his honour. Mr. Li served for two terms as Chairman to the Chinese Chamber of Commerco, and his as- siduous and indefatigable. sorvice and his public spirit are recognis od by both the Chinese, and Bri- tish communities?
