Where France Excels.

The French are past masters in
art of Craping fabrics. A Pariser
has truthfully said that French Ia
is distinctly feminine and as clear

distinguished living men, and an
swers his own question BY voting for
the year 1910, in which year Thomas
Hardy, Edward Clodd. Austin Dobson

Curiously enough, each of these men
brought out a new book during the
year 1917. Mr.. Dobsor's book, re-
ferred to, is called "A Bookman's
