GAY what you may of Tiffany
~ Thayer, but he never bores his
reader. That has been the plant
of many reviewers who call it his
only merit, and his newest book,
The Greek" is no exception in
that respect from Thirteen Men"
and Call Her Savage"
Thayer has his own ideas about
Utopia and he brings them about
through an almost bloodlesS revo-
luton, in which Greece Seizes the
United States under the benevo-
lent dictatorship of Emperor Paris I
with Thayer as attorney general.

are banned; advertising in any
form is prohibited, and book pub

wares so America may be made to
read. His reforms" are innumer-
able and ingenious.
Distinctly not recommended to
members of the Anti-Saloon League,
