THE MYSTERIES OF PARIS (Rach size 8% x 6 inches) OVER 1850 PAGES 4. laid paper Origin Buckram Binding—Go'd Tops 'HE life of the Parisian under-world depicted with an unsparing hand. Realistic revelations of the mysterious existence led by the swindlers, rufhans, outcasts, robbers and murderers in the haunts of crime of Europe's greatest capital. A literal and unabridged trans- lation from the original French of Eugene Sue's great masterpiece, the most famous book of its day—a romance that startled European society. The story of a mod- ern D’Artagnan and his perilous adven- tures in the lowest haunts of life as he pursues his self-appointed task of suc- coring the unfortunate, remedying in- iquities, and avenging guilt. The plague spots of a selfish civilization and the hideous conditions created by poverty and vice are shown with a pitiless real- ism, but with a highly moral purpose.

It is a poem about an all-night poker game in which the sitters are Man, Satan, Courage, Hope, Faith and the seven little Foys. Dave plays Chorus, part of whose duties is to see that the non-alcoholic absinthe is passed around to the revenue officers, who keep the Gates Ajar. Dave sees to it that Satan gets a pretty rotten hand. Faith had a royal flush on page 20. Courage is about to drop out of the game with a pair of cold feet on page 26, when Hope, mother of the Seven Sutherland Sisters, slips him six or seven aces under the table, and the old man finishes out the game Every devotee of the grand old game of Cosmic Poker ought to own Dave's book Some Sex Buzz ‘T seems to me that everybody ought to get inter- Why is a woman a woman?

Of course there are some things about sex that we can in public discussion in this Highly Moral Na- tion (satire). But we can inquire why is a man and why is a woman and why do they sometimes get mixed up? Here is a mighty interesting sex wheeze by Avrom Barnett called ** Foundations of Feminism (Robert M. McBride). Avrom knocks out a lot of bunk. He does not believe in this and that; but he is strong on that and this. If mamma had eaten a little more chocolate I might have been a girl As my pop was a great stickler for gin rickeys I was born a boy. Take the enormous influence of home brew on the next un- bom generation. They may all be born crock- eyed. ‘The wise men of the yeast today will give birth to a new species of Maeterlinck. Scotch- Americans will give birth to babies who will howl “Hootch, mon!” at birth. Just shows! Mr. Barnett has no Utopia to offer. This is bad. In a time when every person is peddling a Utopia it is discouraging to find Avrom without a Kingdom Come of his own. Jim Huneker is quoted on page 7 quoting Jim these days about woman. ested in sex. Everybody's Herb the Titian OOKS as though the score is in favor of Lloyd George. . He seems to be the only one that survived the war.

Who shall say that they were not the biggest non-political and non military figures the Great War produced? T'll say s The author calls him the “most famous private en in the world.” Yes, and as the months roll along he begins to look head and shoulders above all other men in this country. Takes time to get Herb. In Europe the children are being taught to pronounce his name. I'm pretty sore on My Country ’Tis of Thee just now; but Herb Hoover reconciles me somewhat to my enforced exile from the Haig & Haig that’s flowing in London. Give a thought to Herb!
