TQITHER my game is improving or golf balls are,” said a man who had just fin- ished a round with the improved Dunlop Ball. We hope it’s his game, but we know that the standard Dunlop qual- ity, plus even greater steadiness in flight and on the green, plus per- fected painting, makes the 1925 Dunlop an even better Dunlop. What higher praise? $1.00 each Dunlop Tire & Rubber Co. Golf Ball Department 25 West 45th St New York - LIFE - Life and Letters (Continued from page 26) “Lire ann Erica,” by — Gilbert Frankau (Century), impressed and in- terested me, because I feel that it is a true account of what might happen to a young girl who goes these days to London to make her way in the world. Goes, that is, with enough talent and background to lift herself almost im- mediately out of the Bohemian atmos- phere in which young adventuresses inevitably find themselves at first into the world of Mayfair which Michael Arlen makes so much more interesting than it really is. Zrica was an orphan of twenty, with a small country house, a smaller income, and a tremendously clever knack of caricature. The last she took to Fleet Street, into which even famous British novelists occasionally drop for coffee. Mr. Frankau is concerned with her ex- perience with the best-selling and re- doubtable T. IV. North, and almost in spite of himself has depicted one of the most tragic and insidious seductions in either life or literature. “Tne Moment or Beauty,” by Sam- uel Merwin (Houghton Mifflin), has a theatrical background, which is all that saved it for me, because the substance is so slight that perhaps we hadn't better go into it at all. And yet, I don't know. It's amazing, when you come to think of it, that anybody could fall in love with an actor. Let me hasten to add that the heroine was an actress herself, very young, and so impressionable that her great confidante, the character woman, would have been justified in having an alienist in at se’ I points in the plot. And the hero the great—well, if you read the story for yourself, you will be able to recognize not only him, but every other character—even down to Hamilton Green, the theatrical agent. A PACKAGE has just come in from Putnam's containing “Bobbed Hair,” a “dazzling novel by twenty famous authors,” Alexander Woollcott’s “The Story of Irving Berlin” and Langford Reed's “The Complete Limerick Book,” illustrated by H. M. Bateman, Cer- tainly a dainty dish to set before a king —or even a book reviewer. Baird Leonard. The House Divided He Says Went with the wife to hear a lec- ture on “My Better Self” or something like that. Terrible mush, I slept when the wife let me. She Says We went to hear Dr. Smithers lec- ture on “My Better Self.” It was so inspiring. I felt just lifted out of my- self, if you know what I mean. D. B. Maybe smoke, too, is “thicker than water” When a Londoner insists that his pipe shall be filled with an American tobacco, the makers of said tobacco con- fess to taking his insistence as compli- mentary. Mr. Hengle reaches across three thousand miles of sea to get what he wants, and incidentally to hand us this bouquet: London, England. Larus & Brother Co., Richmond, Va. Dear Sirs: Many thanks for your reply of Feb- ruary 20. I hardly expected that 1 could deal with you direct, but I thought I would have a try, at any rate; I am going to find out just what the duty is on your splendid tobacco. I am a heavy smoker, have been all my life: in using your tobacco I find no ill effects from it in any way whatever. I can't say that for any other brands that I have tried, and I tried them all before I settled the question that the best of the whole matter where I go, I always take an extra supply to last me until I return. T am, Respectfully, Ed. S. Hengle. While the taste for Edgeworth is not universal, Mr. Hengle’s letter is evidence that it is international. The fact is, Edgeworth appeals to a certain class of pipe-smokers. These smokers are spread pretty much over the world. And one thing these smokers are sure of: The Edgeworth they smoke today tastes exactly the same as did the Edgeworth on the day they first tried it — years ago in man y_ instances.
