Frequently a politician occupies a place of Honor and respect in the life of the Community. In the Ordin Ary affairs of that Community no one would for a moment question his veracity. Yet let him make a statement about political affairs and ten chances to one his political opponents will Rise up and say that they do not believe a word of it. They indicate plainly that in their opinion the gentleman is a liar. Why these two standards Why the Battle line ten years ago oct. Before Cambrai. Oct.

Worst of All the Thunder of the continued without ceasing. At this moment it did not matter to them that the corps had in eight Short weeks captured 2s.ooo prisoners 500 Guus machine towns and 175 Square Miles of territory. Nor was there anyone to Tell them that their last great Battle was be Hind them. Cambrai was Tho fight Obj Climax of the corps and Only one More serious engagement Lay ahead.

And the artists were Apt to the figures in Ilie Insun. Whatever the failings of the modern wrong Isabel Paterson critic now the term a Good woman is next door to picture jacket it does not leave the figure indistinct. But there is a Rich variety of design. It is always disappointing to find instead of the heroine a of the author. Apart however from such things and the melodramatic pictures there Are , and symbolic drawings and designs done in the style of the very newest Art. Finally there Are which Are entirely charming. Obviously a Pic Ture jacket must Cost More than a Plain jacket. Tha question is which brings More purchasers probably the picture jacket at least at the Bookstall. They lure almost against his will wanderer. Even if having examined the of Many novels the purchaser finally goes off with a Gnido to Cornwall or a manual of poultry farming the picture jackets will have helped the Book Trade.
