tifully bound, Royal Octave volumes
that give a fascinating narrative
history of New England and link UP
the towns OF the old country with
their namesakes of the new. The
three hundred illustrations gathered
from oUt-of-the-way sources or re-
produced from rare old prints, are
: of remarkable historical value. A
gift de luxe.
So far, the result of the arms
conference has abundantly justified
the anonymous author of 1.-The Mir
rors of Washington, who declared
IN that book that Secretary of State
Hughes had s'the best mind at Wash.
Ington. And there are thirteen
other characterizations Of our po-
htical patriots in this volume which
are just rs keen, just as clever
and just as true. A friend, whether

yourself or not, will appreciate this
as q gift. Also, don't overlook ''The
Mirrors Of Downing Street and
sThe Glass OF Fashion" two books
written by the far-famed "Gentle-

parasites Together, these three
books make mighty fine holiday

ated so much Of a stir as Erik
Dorm" This is the book that made
Ben Hecht. the author, famous st
one fell swoop. Hecht has style
Of his own. Up to the present time

fully counterfeit it.
Equally original in style, but of
a vastly different sort, is Michael
sadlelr's novel, Privilege" a
grlnlly fascinating story of the de-
cadence Of an old aristocratic Eng
Asn family, with the elements OF
romance and tragedy cleverly inter
woven.
There's one thing about
