Romance and Beans
T?EW people, seeking romance, would expect find it
through the prosac bean. But there to be
plenty of romance in beans At least Herbert Kauf-
man has found SO. He has written for our SUNDAY
MAGAZINE three part story that is chock full of it, al
though you may not think if you accustomed to
associate with Lord Algernon We're de We're and
Lady Guenevere de Gramont who did anything that
would them much a single bean. They
always too busy being romantic to do anything worth
while.

dramatic effectiveness in way that makes you remember
the idea rather than the phrase he it. This
of the great arts of writing.
You will find a vast amount OF enjoyment in reading
BEANS and the profit will exceed the pleasure it
gives you.
