If you haven't guessed this, we hasten to assure you that it is even so. Also, you may be sure that, after 400 pages of trials and tribulations, the rich little poor boy is on the way to a Boy Scout uniform, a schooling, a kind home, and the soul of Sir Philip Sydney. The book might make an en- durable story of fifty or one hundred pages, if one liked sugar. But, spun out for 400, it is a Marathon test. AX BEERBOHM has issued a vol- ume of fifty-one cartoons called “A Survey” (Doubleday, Page), the first collection of his pictorial satires in eight years. As an artist, his tech- nical method is not unlike that of our own Oliver Herford—the lightly- sketched outline and the pale wash. His humor, too, has points of simi- larity, being of a whimsical twist, and far aloof from slap-stick. He is, how- ever, much more pungent, much more bitter, when the mood takes him. For all the pallidity of his ink wash, and all the smiling whimsy of his concep- tions, we should hate to have him on our trail if he thought we were a hypo- crite.

In a world comparatively at peace now, Mr. Balfour tackles Bene- Shave With Cuticura Soap The New Way Without Mug Reporter—And—er—are you married, sir? “No, this is the worst thing that’s happened to me yet.” detto Croce,” is one of the most amaz- ing comments on diplomacy, the British ruling classes, the Washington Arms Conference, and Mr. Balfour, that can be imagined. Anybody who thinks it is just a picture, of course, is entitled to his opinion, but not to this book. The book is for shrewder souls than that, who will see it as a devastating criti- cism of society. Most of the cartoons, alas, are concerned with Britishers, many of whom are unfamiliar to us. Won't somebody persuade Max to come to America and do a cartoon of Mayor Hylan inspecting the statue of Civic Virtue, or President Harding telling Rep. Fordney what the Repub- lican party must do to be saved? (Or was it Foidney who told the Presi- dent?) We are sure Max would enjoy himself in Washington before he had to flee for his life.
