One was not kept waiting B Mirrors of Washington is now the market. The author like the tf of Mirrors of Downing Si. has itten anonymously and the greater rt oi his sketches are concerned tli "the vanities and weaknesses, x nouligencet and ignorances, the jmjfold short-comings of the men Ihont ho studies." If you have made . idol of one of our public men you ay not agree with the writer and |H think that he has done the char- ters suPHUjustice or at least not jtice. However the book is not ill- turn! in its tone and it is well Betimes for us to read critical char- terixations, that we may more com- tenily judge for ourselves. r THK LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER U, 1921 19 Class of Fashion, by the author of Mirrori of Downing St.â€" The caustic author of Mirrors of Downing Street has written a new book, The Glass of Fashion. "There fashionable society, as revealed and documented by passages which the ?;ent!eman with the duster has drawn rom the recent books of Col. Reping- ton and Mrs. Asquith, is deplorable both in itself and in the effect it is capable of producing upon thought- less persons in every walk of life. It is a grave question whether any amount of preaching will convert the class of offenders against which the preacher inveighs. But his stand- point of the central class, his deliber- ate purpose to 'regard the summit of nobility from the middle distance of the gentry', places him where it is entirely possible to accomplish some- thing. The gentry of England and her dominions and occupants of the vast corresponding social stream in the U. S. are susceptible to the very sort of influence which the author tries to exert, and if they will yield themselves to it only to the extent of seeing that fashion is setting an example which is ruinous to follow much will have been done.1' A Christmas Garland by Max Beer- hohm, whom Fanny Butcher, the ChT^ cngo Tribune's literary critic con- siders one of the most clever and sophisticated of living essayists, is IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY Do Your-Shopping At The Madeira Shop 521 Haig Joboul ##!%»• Importer Hotel BIdg.

Not to read Max Beerbohm, according to Mist Butcher, is to miss one of the great- est literary joys. In the book we have a "series of delightful burlesques on leading writers of the day including H. G. Wells, Conrad, Kipling, Mere- dith and others. It is difficult to de- cide which is more attractive, the skillful way in which the various man- nerisms of the such differing writers are parodied, or the smiling, ineffable impudence which Mr, Beerbohm so unblushingly displays.1' Arnim.

It is a psychological char- acter study, with Arnim's inimitable humor pervading it. You can only appreciate it by reading it.
