 'Why They Married" Text and drawings by James Montgomery Flagg. Pp. 1O7, New York city; Life Publish ing Company. Price seventy-five cents.
 Laugh and live long" is the motto appended to this new collection of hu- nnorous verse and drawing by the ar- tist and author whose If: A Guide to Bad Manners" made a laughing sue cess last year. Mr. F'lagg delivers his medicine along with his prescription. It contains not only the laughs, but besides a considerable amount of conn mon sense and yelled satire.
 The little book consists of drawings, very funny in themselves, each repre- senting married couple of different type and below each drawing is a qua train explaining why that particular couple entered the bonds of holy mat rimony. For instance, below picture of @ very domestic but not especially happy-looking couple we find this ex- planation of their reason for wedding; { These people wed in self-defense,
 All social life they missed,
 They found themselves outside the
 fence,
 For neither played bridge-whist.
 Opposite and in character with each of the main drawings is a clever re- marque carrying out the same idea Why They Married will not influence the fate of nations, but it will be tounc an amusing little work to lie around the library to be picked up for an oc- casional laugh by ones self or witt ones friends
 MT. John Ames NIitchelrs "The silen War" has at least puzzled the critics
 They do not seem to know whether MT Mitchell is testing or in earnest. m seriousness of part of that story whicf involves a warfare between the masses and the millionaires, with the latter ol
 the defensive, and the ,levity of the lov
 romance which becomes tangled Ill
 with the more serious element in tn
 story raise the question of whether MI
 Mitchell has put out a joke, a socioloe
 ical tract or a straight romance It l
