where there are no tabloid: because most of the papers are that way, any- way. eee Tue Seven Diats Mystery (Dodd, Meud). by Agatha Christie is good, clean fun for the tired bank president and others who devour mystery stories on a quantity basis, \ chap (English) is bumped off at a house party (also English), another | is shot in a roadway (the whole thing is English, as a matter of fact) and it begins to look bad for the secret for- mula until the flower of the nobility rallies round the jolly old secret service to save old England for the American mystery fans, Here is your chance to try out the good old scheme of picking out the least. suspicious character and _ nailing the dastardly crime on his bowler.

Bill. Reach for a Lucky in- stead of a sweet.” Mr. Harold Van Schlurman—at left —believes he must have made a mistake in trying to introduce the fiving tackle in ping-pong. | Coot Incram shaves are yours @ forthe asking!
