FROM BELL'S LIST. War and Women* By Mrs. s T . clair stobart, Founder of the Women's Convoy Corps. With an Introduction* by Viscount Esher, G.C.B. Crown 8vo. with numerous illustrations. t> s - &d- ne t- The sending of a Women's Convoy Corps to the Balkans was the result of Mrs. Stobart's keen desire to demonstrate the ability ot women to render signal service under war conditions and without the direction and assistance of men. This record of their achievements, therefore, provides a strong vindication of the claims of women to inclusion in the Territorial Defence Scheme. Round About a Pound a Week* By Mrs. Pember Reeves. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. net. Mrs. Pember Reeves is not a sentimentalist, and her book is a clear, straightforward examination of what is meant by life on one pound a week. She has been able to win the confidence of the working mothers of Lambeth, whose lives are spent in the task of making both ends meet when at one end is a growing family and at the other an income of 50/. a year. The result is an array of evidence which can lead to but one conclusion : that a healthy family of four children cannot be reared in decent surroundings on ' round about a pound a week/ The Cosmic Procession; or, the Feminine Principle in Evolution. By Mrs. Frances Sidney, Author of ' The Awakening of Women,' ecc. Post 8vo. 2S. 6d. net. The Future of the Theatre* By John Palmer, Dramatic Critic to the Saturday Review. Crown Svo. 2s. 6d. net. A brilliantly-written forecast of dramatic history. Critics, pro- ducers, long runs, the Lord Chamberlain, and the speculative manager will all disappear, and the final picture of an English theatre, national and redeemed, is finely drawn in passages of eloquence and sincerity.
