THE IMPOSTOR By ROMA WHITE.

Pioraa White has made for herself a name as a writer of fresh and vivid, j present-day romances. The triumph of "A Stolen Mask." '-The Changeling of Brandlescme.*' "Punchinello's Romance,'' etc.. was immediate and has been fully sustained. These stories are marked with gay and sparkling humour as well as really fine pathos. Roma White's work is always artistic, and carefully presented in a readable style. Her in- j sight into human character renders life-' like the figures moving in her novels. SYNOPSIS. A powerful story, in which the strongest passions of villainy and the subtleties of treachery and. imposture are in collision with a tenacious love of home and home traditions reinforced by the beautiful love of a friendless girl. There is a virility in this story which grips the attention from the first line, and continues, unabated, to the last. It is a tale of strong contrasts —remorseless villainy on the one hand admirably offsetting integrity and loyalty on the other, whilst the sterling humanity of the characters forms a link which binds the whole into a tale of exceptional power and conviction. Suspense—an invaluable factor in a serial — is cleverly utilised to excite and maintain the interest in the march of the story, of which the characterisation and atmosphere are so realistic as to incline the reader to the belief that he is himself concerned in the denouement of a drama.
